@freemo @ech @PBruce The "don't say gay" bill is very similar to the infamous British Section 28.

bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/cac You can read about it here.

Section 28 was enacted by the Conservative Party (the same people who came up with Brexit) and was repealed by Labour in 2003.

@olives

I will check it out, thanks.

Brexit is one of few conservative opinions I like.

@ech @PBruce

Managed to bri g the software i was writinf for back online at my station. It is working perfectly again. Beacons are successfully being sent and digipeating is working.

You can see the screenshot of the control terminal attached. You can watch the packets live here:

Oh shit APRS is on mastadon... I just saw a local station advertise @k2za@mastodon.hams.social which means they are probably within a short drive of me!

@jellycrystals I was there not too long ago... the good is AMAZING and dirt cheap... the people are very nice too.

Good luck and congrats!

I will write the simplest UI known to man.. it will just have a single button, no feeds, no text box.. it will be labeled "scream into the void".. when you press it it posts a single toot that just contains "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!", no replies will be shown :)

@trinsec

Yea, i mean we have simple mode, but I suspect it could be simpler. I would have to review.

@sabbatical @khird @barefootstache

@bonifartius yea sadly the ham radio community has some suprisingly shitty software, the open-source stuff is no exception (though very little is OSS in ham radio).

@sabbatical

Fair enough... thats one reason you can turn on/off advanced mode. Some features unique to QOTO are just functionally super useful.. like being able to follow the feed of a specific server, or being able to subscribe to accounts instead of follow them.

@khird @trinsec @barefootstache

@trinsec

If you filed it as a bug I will hopefully get to it as I spin back up over these next weeks.

@johnabs @Romaq @khird

@sabbatical @khird @trinsec @barefootstache @elk @ivory @IceCubesApp

I cant say I've had a close eye on clients as of late, so that may be true.. I use the standard web client myself because it has and will always give me access to the most features.

@sabbatical @khird @trinsec @barefootstache

This is the first I am hearing about that client, so honestly I just dont know... If for some reason the client isnt supported I can tell you it is unintentional on our part.

@johnabs @trinsec @Romaq @khird

The academic journal idea is one I would really really love to do. But its a project that requires a good deal of participation and unless I see a decent amount of interest I am worried it would be a dead end.

@TheUSASingers@union.place

I would never reelect trump, but his handling of COVID is so far down on my list as to why... not cause he did an excellent job, he did a rather average job.. he just did a lot of things way worse.

Man now I want to get back into coding my APRS platform... I really want to rewrite aprs.fi, quite the shame that it isnt open-source.... Hams really need to embrace more open-source.

@freemo Food poisoning seems like a trend... just saw someone toot about getting sick from bad chocolate.

So, quick survey with a target demographic of one (1) person:

(Get well soon, in any case!)
