Anyone here into LoRa #Meshtastic / #Meshcore stuff? What's the community like? I might have a play with it later in the year if it's good vibes.
If it's full of preppers and tech bros it's a no from me though

DDR5 RAM prices are steadying out and some distributors emailing me on some price cuts right now too so if you were planning on buying some RAM hold out for a bit you can, some should be filtering through to retail soon if you keep your peepers out, I expect they'll be flogged in bundles or as "sales" at this early stage though.
Shit prices compared to mid 2025 still ofc, but here's an early PSA if you were needing some soonish

If you run a business, make sure that you're publicly, vocally, and consistently anti-racist. It's good for business, take it from me!
People that are racist will remove themselves, and racists are typically awful to deal with in other ways because they are nasty, selfish, and cruel people in general.
People worth dealing with will feel more taken care of and you'll probably find yourself getting new customers if you're known for being decent like that anyway. It's a win-win, honestly.

For anyone that didn't know Bob Vylan: Their music is about the racism that's alive and well in England and how the ruling class keep it that way, working class struggle, fighting to be who you are, against toxic masculinity, (and eating your veggies!)
On Saturday they wished for an end to a military that's engaging in ethnic cleansing. The government and press always itch to find the "crossed line" to silence all of the above.
Silence is violence.

A lot of tech people chomping at the bit to go full feral with the bigotry. The reins are off on Monday, won't be pretty.
2025 will be the year of the techbro, every genre of reply guy imaginable, all sledgehammered in with the subtlety of unchecked hyper-capitalism and fascism rippling across the planet because apparently everyone online should suffer whatever the fuck is going on in the USA too.

I know I've tooted about his before but in most Star Wars films there's a reference to "hell" in the earth-centric sense and I'm desperate to discover what the belief system is around that in Star Wars World. There's so much deep lore about everything else but not that?

@nprofile…skjy Well yeah, but I mean in general from all manufacturers. They're delicate connectors in devices that reply on that connector for their power and need very advanced microsoldering equiptment and skills to repair where-as laptops previously had (mostly) had DC jacks on flyleads that just plug into the motherboard which means the whole device isn't e-waste as easily for like £5 in parts

One thing that makes my shit itch is Apple saying their new M4 Mac mini's are "The first carbon-neutral Mac."
But also, they're designed to be as un-repairable and throw-away as possible (no replaceable RAM, no replacement parts into the general market, delicate disassembly etc)
So is it really green? Carbon neutral doesn't count for shit if it's also so easily becoming e-waste and needing to be replaced with an entire new device which is literally 2x the e-waste within a shorter period of time

Electric car charging points are *such* bullshit in this country, it's a capitalist hellscape of broken machines, dozens of apps, and waiting for Tesla drivers to fuck off so you can sneak in. Which is 10/10 fun after a tiring day with a car full of tired grotty children and your journey hasn't even begun... Only took 1 and a half hours this round to even start charging :crash_b:

When CEOs announce massive layoffs "in order to save" their precious corporation they should at the same time also announce they're not taking any pay for a number of years effective immediately in order to keep as many people on to bail out their "sinking" ship imo. It's the least they can do for failing their staff in the worse way possible like that

We saw a Vivianne Westwood sweatshirt in a shop window today and tried to guess the price so we popped in and asked the shop guy how much it was to scratch an itch. He asked our guesses first which was embarrassing but he enjoyed the game too and entertained us.
He pulled the same mass-made sweatshirt from a rail on the shop floor and let us have a nice close look after we guessed between £80-120 and told us it was £450. That's not very punk rock
