Cool. Is there anything like this on android? Or desktop?

That sounds like a hilarious idea. GL!

Yes I have a couple friends that can’t live without it, so we have had convos. It’s better to go to Walmart and get the very cheap stuff, but your going to die without it…

Remember your local community is one of the most valuable resources. Get to know your neighbors, invest in your social capital.

I remember coming across post in a /r/collapse on reddit that poked fun at a lot of peoples plans. He stated he was in a war torn country and found a lot of plans revolve around personal survivorship instead of community based. And the immediate local community is the one that most people fall back on and the one that often times helps out the most.

Reminds me of the Bitcoin mining and how askii miners overtook graphic card mining practically overnight. It would not surprise me if this goes the same way.

Man I would love that contact :)

I’m personally going to keep my old Casio running til the end of time. But I hope the new watches are repairable, cause I don’t fully trust Google (but rebbel is solid).

Nothing. My local area has a lot of chicken in peoples back yards.

Same. I bought one of those ifixit kits and tried to repair mine, but it turns out the wires are very small and I couldnt get everything hooked back in.

I’m hesitant to recommend but https://fed.brid.gy/ makes feeds from websites that may or may not have RSS feeds. It works well with Tumblr for example.

YouTube is now showing nothing but (tr)ump stuff…I have not looked at dump stuff on YouTube. It’s all positive on him too.

My wife just checked. Its now showing some pretty heinous things on the demo crat side…I dont think prior to the election that would have been tolerated. They definitely changed the “algorithm”.

One thing is that kbin/mbin/piefed/etc…etc… interact with lemmy all the time. Its getting a bit hazy if “lemmy” the platform is growing or if the entirety of the fediverse is growing and others are communicating with the software. We are now seeing quite a few accounts from all over the web interacting with lemmy communities. Is that a new “user” according to the stats? Or is that person a one off from mastodon?

What I a seeing is a general increase in discussion on the platform and increase in posts from all over the fediverse. Which is awesome!

I’ll give it a shot thanks!

Surreal watching the rest of the internet freaking out. Meanwhile we are just sitting here on our own platforms doing our own things.

I like my rtlsdr. It’s great and super cheap.

yep peertube is great. Im partial to https://makertube.net or https://tilvids.com/ but theres a ton: https://joinpeertube.org/instances

2 in my local area. It’s how I found out about it. We have been slowly growing the community.

Then you switch to someone else. Also its not just about talking. You can track a number of things: sensor readings, track satellites, airplanes, boats, etc…

To answer you seriously, yeah kinda! It’s a way of communicating without any internet access. You can talk with people around the world if you want. And it opens up to a whole community of people that really like the hobby.
