Got to admit, #MeshCore feels so much nicer than #Meshtastic already!

Visible advertisement paths, defined routing, a better acknowledgement system, less glitchy UX. There's a lot to like!

Wish the Android client was open-source, but the firmware and protocol are open so I'm sure there will be alternatives in no time.

`useEffect()` (née: `shouldComponentUpdate()`) is an in-your-face clue that React is bad at its one bloody job.

It does not manage state (if it did, you wouldn't have Redux, etc.).

It does not prevent side effects (exercise to the reader).

It merely holds your coat while you destroy the main thread.

Yesterday, 10 years ago, Let's Encrypt issued their first #TLS #certificate to the domain name helloworld.letsencrypt.org. Since then, they issued 7 billion certificates.

To quote Borat: "Great success!"

Congrats!

Not sure how long I'm going to have to keep saying "the work doubling machine is doubling up the work", but maybe when it goes infinite we'll notice? Not holding out much hope, TBH.

Trump's Concentration Camps!

When the first immigrants arrived at their new detention quarters at a Texas military base this summer, they were marched onto an active construction site. Dust swirled and excavators hummed as contractors raced to build the tent encampment, where development had begun just two weeks earlier and would go on for months.

3. Then in May of this year, an Abu Dhabi investment fund put $2 billion into Binance, mediated through Trump’s crypto scam, World Liberty Financial. Which means the Trumps and other WLF principals earn interest on the $2B and CZ’s company gets $2 billion. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/wlfs-zach-witkoff-usd1-selected-official-stablecoin-mgx-investment-binance-2025-05-01/

It is absurd that anyone is trying to erase the reality of the hate that Kirk spoke frequently throughout his life.

And all anyone who has harassed me has shown is that they are also full of hate. Their words are straight out of the nazi playbook. Words mean things. Act like it.

Pam Bondi deleted a government study showing that right-wingers commit more terrorism. The right cannot think coherently so instead of making their own studies, they censor legitimate ones.

I do not know another way to express to people that trying to appease fascists by “being a good minority” or totally deferring to them publicly has saved absolutely no marginalized group or profession in human history. They are coming after us anyway. Even if you scold peers for not being nice.

“The purge in the FBI’s leadership ranks is without precedent in its modern history, current and former officials say. FBI executives, including special agents in charge and other senior managers, are career civil servants who typically are promoted or transferred based on internal bureau requirements — regardless of who sits in the White House.
The latest moves are undoing decades of work by the bureau — across administrations — to diversify top ranks”

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.
