#Meshtastic's state management seems so utterly broken, I'm kinda ready to ditch it for something else.

Is there anyone here who has already played with #MeshCore and can make a comparison?

Hi everyone,

@joynewacc and I had the honour of speaking to three lovely people from Gaza today over video chat on Signal and we’d like to welcome them to the Gaza Verified family:

• Yasmeen (@doaagaza)
• Bilal (@bilal_mo)
• Ahmed (@AhmedOuda)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and the fediverse, follow their accounts, and, if you can, please help them with their fundraisers and please share this so others might also.

Things are even worse than they were now that Israel has started the next phase of its genocide with the ground offensive in the past few hours. They need your help to get to safety in the South and to stay safe.

‪https://gaza-verified.org‬

Thank you!

💕

PS. They will be adding the verified links to their accounts soon (some have, others are working on it). Internet access is not always stable in Gaza and everyone has a different level of technical proficiency. Please keep in mind that there is a genocide and famine going on.

@abeerabed22

S'il vous plaît aidez @abeerabed22 , aidez les autre habitants de @Gaza authentifiés par @aral et @joynewacc sur https://gaza-verified.org . Ils ont des cagnottes, ils ont impérativement besoin de pognon, vite.

Ça n'arrêtera pas le génocide mais ça aidera au moins ceux qui sont venus ici témoigner et demander de l'aide.

Manifestez, gueulez, interpellez, boycottez les produits désignés par #BDS. J'ai du mal à penser à autre chose là. Des gens se font tuer massivement, ils viennent nous dire ici, on se fait tuer, on a besoin de vous, et collectivement j'ai l'impression qu'on détourne le regard.

You know, I’m sorry, I really appreciate that at least Spain and a few other countries are doing something now but if you’re a fucking whole-ass country, your “threat” in the face of genocide being committed as we speak if you want to stop said genocide being committed isn’t to pull out of a fucking song contest. It’s to send your damn army – ideally along with a few others – as a peacekeeping force to stop the sons of bitches who are committing genocide.

But hey, pulling out of a song contest is something too, I guess.

Hello my dear friends, please let me know how you are doing and reassure me about your health and wellbeing.

The situation here is really, really bad.
The Israeli army has ordered a full evacuation of Gaza. They dropped leaflets from planes telling people to move to the south, and they’re preparing for a large-scale ground invasion. It might actually have started now. At the same time, they’re bombing entire residential blocks — destroying entire neighborhoods.

🚨 Aseel ( @aseelfromgz), her family, and her cat Liza are in danger right now in Gaza as Israel’s genocide enters a new phase with a ground offensive targeting a million people.

She desperately needs donations to get to and seek shelter in the South.

I spoke to her today for Gaza Verified.

Listen to her tell you about her situation in her own words.

I cannot reach her at the moment on Signal. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts.

We need a tent that now costs $1,000, plus a bathroom and setup for $300–$400 Altogether that’s about $2,700,and with the fee that’s over 40%,we actually need about $4,500

It’s impossible to explain how heavy this all feels. But thank God, I’m okay now. I was sick and exhausted, but I’m slowly feeling better. My mother gave me an injection last night, and it did wonders. And we’ve saved ourselves from the bombings, for now. Just wanted to update you and thank you for caring.

Because of the fear and panic, people are rushing to the south in huge crowds. It’s absolute chaos.

As for me — I walked. I walked with my family on foot from northern Gaza all the way to the south. We couldn’t afford the transport costs; they’re extremely high. The roads were packed with people, and even though people were trying to evacuate, the army was still bombing areas along the way.
