I bring FRS radios (normal ol’ walkie talkies) to the local Renaissance festival which has awful to no cell reception. It works great.

But yeah the barrier to even getting a technician license is too high. You get people that get excited and wanna do stuff and then they’re told they can’t. So things like meshtastic where they actually can do radio related things without a license are great.

When I think of pagers I think of receiving only, not sending. Meshtastic devices can typically do both.

Okay? But why? StackOverflow’s moderation is inadequate as well.

It’s viable, StackExchange as a company is just shit. See: then never listening to meta, listening to random Twitter users more, and defaming their volunteer moderators.

Nobody here is suggesting for you to use Yahoo Answers.

Like I said, I’m not talking about specific sites, I’m talking about moderation style.

My questions weren’t homework problems with 500 duplicates. Maybe that type of shit being the most common in the vote to close queue is why fuckfacerubberstamper can’t be bothered to actually think about what they’re closing as dupes.

Like Lemmy? The site we’re all using?

But no my point wasn’t about a specific site, it’s about the moderation approach. Do you really think there’s no middle ground in approach to moderation between Yahoo Answers and StackOverflow?

You don’t think there’s any middle ground between the two? None whatsoever?

The humans of StackOverflow have been pricks for so long. If they fixed that problem years ago they would have been in a great position with the advent of AI. They could’ve marketed themselves as a site for humans. But no, fuckfacepoweruser found an answer to a different question he believes answers your question so marked your question as a duplicate and fuckfacerubberstamper voted to close it in the queue without critically thinking about it.

Remember when the argument for self driving cars was that they don’t need to be perfect, just better than humans?

I have been on macOS at work since December of 2019. Before that it was Windows since 2014. If I had the choice for Linux I might take it over macOS, but I’d happily take either over Windows.

I am obligated to comment on this due to my profile picture. 💜

That’s me!

The most generous thing I can think is that facial structure is not a protected class in the US so they’re saying it’s technically okay to descriminate against.

It’s fucking wild. Like, I love Steam, don’t get me wrong, but holy shit just suck less (edit: than other stores do) and charge less (edit: of devs) and you could gobble up a lot of that market share. But none of them do.

Every time I was prompted to use one by plugging my phone in to my computer nothing happened. That was a little over a year ago.
