"Freedom of speech is being able to tell someone else something they don't want to hear." "No matter what you say, someone is going to be offended." "Once you realize that politicians are not altruistic, and that they're in politics for themselves and their own personal gain, then everything makes sense." "No one is above the law." "Have you ever met a poor politician?"

Ok, you're halfway there (you've come to the realization that you need to be able to control your devices, and not have them control you)...but Apple's entire ecosystem is designed to prevent such "hanky panky".

Grab a Pixel 8a for $399 (on sale now), and load up #GrapheneOS - seriously.

(And if you sell that iPhone you'll probably end up with some money in your pocket too...)

GM Nostr! Happy Saturday!

Hoping today is as nice as yesterday - have some work outside to do, so would welcome another warm, sunny day!

And will certainly start it off with a coffee and some zaps.

Well, come to think about it, ranch might be able to drown out the taste of pineapple... 🤣 🤣 🤣

Surely you jest...you probably put ranch on your wings too... 😃

GM Nostr! Happy Friday!

So Jay Powell says a few words, and everything implodes...

Sheesh...I think I need an Irish Coffee this morning...

Debt is always reverse compound interest.

It's probably the worst financial mistake anyone can ever make.

GM Nostr! Happy Thursday!

Christmas less than a week away now...worth taking some time to reflect on the true meaning of that holiday over a good cup of coffee...

You're in a rare situation L--most people don't love their job (as the saying goes, if you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life...)

GM Nostr! Happy Wednesday!

Queston for today:

If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be?

Same here--paucity of nodes...but someone has to start...

I have one node I leave up in a front window (RAK box without a screen--battery will last about a week (have to say I'm impressed by teh RAK's low power consumption).

Have a second RAK node with a screen, that is kind of my "receive and monitor" node--and then have the T-Deck (that is my travel node).

T-Deck is still kind of flaky, even with Meshtastic firmware--I can't figure out what nmakes it "sleep" (or not sleep). Sometimes it turns off, and the only way to wake it is with the mouse button, and at other times it never goes to sleep (and chews up the battery in about a day). Hoping they'll solve that at some point.

There's a T-Deck 'Pro' in the works that will have e-paper display and wireless charging (the T-Deck is hard to see in bright sun)--so that'll probably be on order once they're available...

Would like to see the devs work on the power settting a bit more, but I think they're probably concentrating on a full UI re-write for the T-Deck with the larger touchscreen--we'll see...fun times to be involved with #meshtastic
