  • @caosorganizzato sto ridendo come un coglione immaginando uno che lava la biancheria nella friggitrice ad aria, ma ho il sospetto che non sia quella la battuta, è un semplice non sequitur?

    How do you lose an election, and why is Democracy failing in America?
    " If it is not progressive, it will be conservative. "

    I have been saying this for years because I understand that the voting mentality, wants, and needs of the population have changed. To spell it out: if you're a wishy-washy moderate, you're unelectable — only people who focus on politics instead of people believe otherwise.

    The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, is one of those wishy-washy moderates — or, as I call them, corporate conservative Democrats. This is the man, for example, who wants to add age verification in every OS (operating system), including Linux. That is not the only problem with him, but it is the most recent one I can recall. The point is, he is not a progressive, and he is not going to win reelection.

    Many people don't vote anymore. I do, I assume you do, and perhaps many people on the Fediverse do — but many don't. My sister and her husband, for example, don’t. I sometimes question the value of doing so if the end result is the same. Yes, I said the same — and we can argue about the differences, because there are differences — but at the end of the day, we still end up in the same place we don’t want to go. The only difference is whether we get there fast or slow.

    MAGA is simply awful — there is no denying that — but they are giving their supporters exactly what they want. Meanwhile, you have a wishy-washy moderate who will work with these people while claiming unity is more important than change or accountability. So ultimately, we go down that same path by different means, and that’s the path we want to avoid.

    People argue that we have to block that awful outcome — but block what? We're still going there. These people will compromise with Nazi pedophiles and tell us it is for the good of the country. And so many people no longer feel enthusiastic or motivated to support any of this.

    And we know “next time” is a lie that never comes. It’s what they told my grandpa his whole life, and he passed away at 103 years old waiting for that make-believe “next time.” My parents are in their 70s and late 60s, I’m in my 40s, most people's kids are in their 20s, and the next generation to come is being told the same lie. We’ve all caught on by now.

    We need someone who truly is one of us and represents the will of the people. The will of the people is both conservative and progressive at this time in history. Conservatives are being told they can have exactly what they want — when they want it, how they want it — and those corporate conservative Democrats, who are not progressive, will give it to them because they claim unity is more important than change and accountability.

    If it is not progressive, it will be conservative. I guarantee it.

    Dopo due anni di QRT ho rispolverato le mie due radioline portatili.La stazione fissa può attendere, magari quando andrò in pensione (e quindi forse MAI).Primo step: fare una verifica delle impostazioni dei ponti in memoria. Scaricato l'utile (anche se pieno di errori, ma frequentemente aggiornato) documento di IK2ANE (single point of failure, in questo caso), ma tant'è che si sbatte.Rispolverato anche il mio script python per l'importazione in un database SQLite (meglio).#hamradio

    Today I released version 0.7 of my print-in place single-paddle Morse code key.This will function as release notes:The most important practical change is that the slot in the lever for the stabilizer bar is taller, so that it doesn't bind. Previously, it sometimes bound depending on luck, and when it didn't bind, needed to be greased with a light lubricant.The most important user-facing change is updated build instructions, now with pictures. Previously, the instructions were just text.The most important developer-facing change is that it was rebuilt with FreeCAD 1.1RC, and all recalculation errors and warnings were removed. previously, it had quit building correctly due to changes in FreeCAD.The side contacts are better aligned with the common/ground screw in the lever when using thin ring terminals. (It was previously optimized for thick terminals.)The rear stabilizing bar was never necessary and was just extra weight and ugly complexity, so it has been removed.The spring radius is no longer an explicit parameter.I added more links to sources for hardware.This is getting close to what I would consider a polished, 1.0 release.As always, I crave feedback. If you build this, I want to hear what went well and what, if anything did not.#MorseCode #HamRadio

    Today's #HamRadio #POTA (Parks On The Air) adventure. Absolutely gorgeous, couldn't-be-better fall weather on a Saturday, so that it was a little surprising that we found parking space and that all the picnic tables were empty. Used my spiderbeam push-up mast to hold my inverted-v linked dipole up, tied the ends out to some trees, and got on the air on 20 meters, using CW (morse code) as usual. I first hunted operators in other parks and got 4 QSOs, but the pileups were deep, so I found a quiet frequency and called CQ. I didn't have to wait for responses, either! Some pileups were so deep they sounded like modem noise (showing my age here). A little intimidating for the new CW operator, but the other operators were patient with me.AZ is one of the states I haven't gotten in my hunter logs yet, so I was happy to see AZ pop up for one call sign. However, that operator reported IL, so I still don't have AZ. I'll have to keep hunting!By the end, I was getting a lot of QRM (interference from human sources). That's the curse of operating QRP (low power) — I'm sure they couldn't hear my measly 5W and weren't intentionally operating on top of me. That was OK, though; I had 31 QSOs and I was ready to QRT (quit) for the day.

    One of my favourite features of the #fediverse is seeing people *learning things*. There are so many folks here discovering dying arts and trades. People learning how the things we take for granted work, and endeavouring to implement them themselves!People getting their #HAMradio licenses, #selfhosting, making clothing, blacksmithing, gardening, repairing their own things, backporting modern software to run on windows 3.11... Y'all are my people. Never stop learning, and never stop sharing what you've learned.
