Great little article on LoRa Mesh networks in German for those just starting out in mesh radio #LoRa #Reticulum #MeshRadio commensales.de/meshtastic-reti…


in early Indian texts, Avalokiteśvāra is male.over the centuries, this same bodhisattva becomes Guanyin/Kannon in East Asia, a graceful, maternal figure in flowing robes

she hears the cries of the world. and she changes form to answer them. not metaphorically.literally

in the Lotus Sutra, it says: 'If beings need to be saved by a woman, she becomes a woman. If by a man, she becomes a man. A child? A king? A spirit? A merchant? A monk? She becomes that too'

Guanyin transitioned not despite her divinity, but because of it. because compassion listens. and then compassion becomes

Yeah, feels like they’re going after anyone Trump doesn’t like. youtu.be/_a3RwXBK2y0?si=aR_zIB…


I saw a good bit of concern from my rivals up north, and figured I’d share this here. Mods, remove if you believe you have to. Thank you for being good neighbors. We love Fry and respect the hell out of Skubal for reaching out and worrying so sincerely for him.

We’ve never lived on granite foundations. What we call “objectivity” in social and moral life is scaffolding: provisional, rhetorical, maintained through care, reciprocity, and revolt.

In my new essay, I map an operating model for reasoning without granite illusions — and argue for an ethic of repair.

TOPS of the Heap: Qualcomm Unveils Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme CPU With 18 Cores, Massive NPU

Been thinking about how people in Sinclair markets can maybe watch ABC live without supporting Sinclair...

1. Sign up for Sling Select for 29.99/mo

2. Use your new Sling account to enable Live TV on abc.com

3. Cancel your cable. Tell them it's because they carry Sinclair affiliates

This should give you live access to ABC7 (LA) and some other local ABC markets, as well as streaming access to FX and National Geographic.

If anyone tries this from an embargoed market, let us know how it works

Was it live, or delayed?

Saw it up there about 2 hours after the broadcast, but don't know when it went up.

Interesting.

Spent the day learning about network/affiliate stuff and one of the big stress points in the relationship is networks making content available through alternative streaming methods. Pushing such a high viewership thing straight out to YouTube would really piss the affiliates off. There may be more going on here than meets the eye.

in reply to Mastodon Migration

It's pretty fascinating. Traditional alternative TV providers (MVPDs) , cable and satellite, pay a fixed negotiated retransmission fee that has become the affiliates bread and butter. Streaming services (vMVPDs) are much less lucrative.

So every "cord cutter" costs the affiliates, plus the networks are going around the affiliates with a lot of their premier programming by making it available on other streaming services like Netflix.

@AkaSci

It's a big power struggle with the tech titans like Google and Amazon squared off against these right wing conglomerations of local broadcasters like Sinclair. The networks are kind of in the middle, but are enjoying the opportunity to stick it to the affiliates.

Right now the affiliates are trying to get the FCC to change the rules so that vMVPDs are treated more like MVPDs from a regulatory point of view. So, lots going on.

Kimmel's monologues get posted to YouTube the same day and that is where my family and I watch them. More than 16 million have viewed his comeback monologue on YouTube, and even more saw it on other platforms (fb/insta etc).
