I am just a lay bystander but every time these companies announce some outlandish claim that their “AI” has done because it is “too advanced”… the lie and the grift seem obvious, but the exit strategy is not. For the individuals, I mean. Like, is the grift to just continue as a hype machine forever? What happens when the bubble bursts for poor Sam? Will the lies ever catch up to him? A lot of people are going to lose a lot of money and suffer as a result of these lies. Are they betting on the political environment to continue being so supportive of doublespeak for… the rest of their lives?
It feels like reality has to catch up at some point. 🤷‍♂️🤞

I used and paid for Overcast for years. Then it was redesigned and the new interface makes zero sense to me.
Apple Podcasts never made sense to my brain — same as Apple Music. Can’t explain why, I just find it super disorienting.

#Podcast software question:
I like #PocketCasts for #iOS. But it’s free (so I assume my data is being harvested somehow) and also owned by Auttomatic (ugh, cancelled).
Is there an alternative podcast player app that you like?
Ideally, uses the same conceptual model (a feed of new episodes, then I decide which ones to download), no data harvesting, privacy-conscious. Doesn’t have to be free or FOSS but obviously that’s a bonus. 👍

#AskFedi — Looking for a platform recommendation!
I help lead a small nonprofit supporting #neurodivergent #students and #parents. We are 100% volunteer, and we produce a few different series of events throughout the year.
We need better ways to communicate with (paid) members and (unpaid) “friends”.
What platform/tools could I use to, for example, let someone RSVP or express interest in an event series, check the box to get auto reminders and text notifications re: all events in that series. For example: “event is tomorrow at 9am. See you there!” or “it’s raining! We’re meeting at x instead.”
Ideally this platform could also do email. One-off campaigns/blasts with simple segmentation (members and/or friends) and maybe some automations (like a welcome flow for new members).
We can pay a reasonable amount; doesn’t have to be FOSS/self-hosted/linux/etc. 😜
(I’ve asked a similar question here before, but I think we have made progress clarifying our specific needs.)

This is a pretty amazing live map of #BayArea #MeshCore traffic. Lots of repeaters, and lots of activity — much more than even a few weeks ago.

2026-03-21 19:59:42 CET

Local #MeshCore #LoRa #mesh is growing quickly. A few months ago, there were only a couple repeater nodes in #Marin; I could see them on the map, but we couldn’t communicate.
Now there are ~20 repeaters (that I can see) across Marin, including some on #MountTamalpais, which is amazing for reach.
And this morning I had my first ever REPLY to one of my outgoing test messages — from someone in San Jose! It’s actually working! 😁🤓💪
(Side note: one thing I like about MeshCore is it has channels, including #test. So you can send as many silly test messages to #test as you want — that’s what it’s for — without cluttering the main public channel. When I tried #Meshtastic, the one public channel was 99% “does anyone see this?”)

We thought that was the end of it, but… on a walk the next day, we noticed a familiar huge pile of wood chips and stumps two blocks uphill in front of our neighbor’s house. 🤔🤔🤔
Hey guys where’d you get those wood chips?
Our neighbors explained they just learned about this thing called chipdrop and you get all these wood chips for free isn’t it amazing
🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
The shady arborist had waited for another nearby chipdrop request to come in, so he could have his guys pick up all the stumps from our house and just dump it in front of another neighbor’s house!! It probably took them the better part of the day, too. I guess the boss decided all that labor and dishonesty was cheaper than disposing of the stumps properly.
I don’t remember what happened after that. I think once it wasn’t my direct problem anymore, I blocked the whole thing out. 😅 I never thought of it again until now, hearing about your rocks. 😁

2026-02-08 17:21:36 CET

- reply

We eventually had to escalate to the police, because basically it was then a case of illegal dumping. The officer, despite being used to Portland, was quite amused. “OK explain this chipdrop thing to me again?” Once she understood what happened, she left and apparently made some threatening calls. The arborist’s crew picked up the stumps a few days later. Whew! Problem solved, only now we still needed wood chips and no longer trusted the chipdrop system. Sigh

2026-02-08 17:15:51 CET

- reply

Anyway one time we requested a chipdrop, and the arborist comes by when we’re not home and dumps a lot of wood chips on the street in front of our house. Yay! It’s massive, more than we needed. Like 6x12 feet and piled 5 feet high. Exciting for these gardeners, but then we start moving it one wheelbarrow at a time and find it is mostly STUMPS covered with a light dusting of wood chips. (!!!)
The stumps were each, I don’t know, 50-60 pounds? They were too heavy and awkward for me to lift, anyway.
We called chipdrop who called the arborists. Hey you gotta pick up these stumps! No response. See it would be a LOT of extra work for their guys to PICK UP all the huge stumps they had just dumped off the truck. And they’ve moved on to more productive, easier jobs.

2026-02-08 17:10:21 CET

- reply

OMG!! What a story!
Happy to hear they returned the rocks (unexpected). But… does that mean you have to lift them up yet AGAIN to dig out the plastic (and more rocks) underneath? (Sigh)
This reminds me of a less dramatic home-ownership-type story about wood chips. (Feel free to tune me out at this point.)
We were living in Portland, OR, where there is a great service called chipdrop. It matches arborists (who want to get rid of their wood chips after a job) with homeowners (who want chips for mulch, landscaping). It’s $0 cost, a win-win… when it works. (It usually works!)

This is a neat idea!
See: https://comaps.at/0jmL4fSc2E/The_Ladder
The Steep Ravine trail is on the side of Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, just north of San Francisco. It’s stunningly beautiful, very near Muir Woods, with coast redwoods and ferns growing alongside Webb Creek.
As you’d guess from the name, some parts of the trail are quite steep. One section is so steep, there is a ladder you must climb up (or down) to get across an otherwise impassable portion.
On CoMaps, I love how this feature is labeled “The Ladder”, as opposed to just “ladder” generically, because anyone who has done this trail know there is one ladder, and it is The Ladder, for sure! This is such a small detail, but I like how the map reflects how locals refer to this feature.

This is great! If you don’t mind a question…

What does the Google Fused Location API offer that on-device doesn’t?

Thanks for sharing! I suspect that community involvement — ie people actually meeting IRL and working together to thoughtfully plan and site nodes — is important. There are few nodes near me; I am grateful you shared that trace route screenshot as I’ve never even had a successful TR and didn’t know what it could look like! 😅 And @npub1yyr…lyn2’s thread is what introduced me to meshcore, so I am excited about the possibilities there as well. Glad you chimed in!

2025-08-02 15:39:58 CEST

- reply

PS Since you mentioned not having a device yet… I’ve learned not to trust the maps showing active nodes. They are historical records of what nodes self report. But stuff goes up and down CONSTANTLY. There are always way more and also far fewer active nodes than the maps report (if that makes sense).
I guess that’s the appeal of a mesh — in theory the network is self healing even as stuff goes up and down, but in my short experience so far, it mostly is just “down”. That’s why MeshCore’s theoretically more explicit acknowledgments of receipt are appealing to me — they could restore some faith in a system that I only just started exploring and it already feels broken. (Not to be overly dramatic about it!)

2025-08-02 15:24:50 CEST

- reply

My understanding agreed with your understanding here. :)
There are more Meshtastic nodes near me than MeshCore for sure (though still not enough to actually contact anyone.)
I am not a network or radio pro but something about the MeshCore approach is more appealing to me. Maybe it’s just more familiar — to have a repeater be a repeater and a client be a client. That’s closer to the server/client conceptual model I already get. :)
Also so far my Meshtastic attempts result in no one in the public channel ever responding so I’m left with confusion: did it work? Did anyone see me? Do they just not like me? 🤷‍♂️

2025-07-31 16:28:04 CEST

- reply

PS Not sure if you have waded into the #meshtastic vs #meshcore debate yet but the latter looks a more friendly to my liking, in the sense of giving more visibility into message routing and acknowledgements. Like, you can tell if anyone actually received your message and you can specify routes to be used.

2025-07-31 16:25:56 CEST

I am totally new to this stuff but same here. And the one node I can reach doesn’t use Bay Area recommended settings… so it’s not really reaching the wider network er mesh.

Harvesting non-native plants — and then creating beautiful and functional objects out of the material — helps rebalance local ecologies.

short story: When I moved from California to Portland, Oregon, my new dentist took one look and said “you’re not from around here, are you?” (Most Portland area water providers do not fluoridate.) 😬

oh it’s easy you just have to connect the AirPods to your VPN and tunnel the Bluetooth back to a US endpoint then route some mega packets through a geo-approved gigaswitch then it will just work no problem
Guess you’re new to Canada 😜

It’s DARVO, a documented response pattern common to abusers of all stripes (especially narcissists):
- Deny
- Attack
- Reverse Victim and Offender
This pattern seems to apply to fascists overall, too! To me, it helps explain why some people are trapped in this cycle of abuse with the current GOP — the disinfo and victim blaming is disorienting and designed to control so the victim comes crawling back for more (and votes, too, I guess).

Just realized it’s been a couple of years since I’ve used #git or #Slack, and life is… better?

not sure if NYT counts as reputable or concrete anymore but they have a story on it: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/09/weather/milton-reverse-surge-tampa.html?unlocked_article_code=1.RE4.LSqG.g_fbFpW2nQxI&smid=url-share

same here! Have been a paid Transmit user for… oh man more than 20 years? Used to use Panic’s Coda, which was amazing at the time. Excited to try Nova.
I have NOT yet tried their Playdate console as it doesn’t really help me with work. 😁🤷‍♂️

thanks for sharing this! I’ve had a very similar editor journey and have been holding on to my still working copy of Atom until it won’t run anymore.
A good nudge to try nova. Thanks!

The convenience and value of this new line are very exciting (costing no more than regular Muni fare!) but I do recommend a handful of Dramamine before you board

Creative coding alert!
Dan Shiffman has fully updated “The Nature of Code: Simulating natural systems with JavaScript,” with all examples rewritten using p5.js.
If you haven’t seen it, “the pink book” is a landmark in creative coding texts. Absolutely stellar, and Dan is the *best* teacher.
As with the 1st edition, the entire book and working code examples are online, for free. But you can purchase a print copy, too. Use code CHOOCHOO for 25% off.

Possibly the first campaign press release to ever employ the CSS style {
text-decoration: line-through;
} for comedic/disparaging effect?

😬 No government-run SMS alert systems? Having just moved back to California (been away for ten years), I’ve been surprised to find we have the opposite problem: *several* different emergency alert systems, mostly opt-in, run by different agencies and deployed for different purposes. I signed up for all of them, just in case. Now my phone buzzes throughout the day for even minor activity (e.g., “odor investigation”) but in theory will blast loud noises for a wildfire or earthquake.
