Dang, that’s a nice throwback.

TrueCrypt had/has that feature for full-drive encryption. But I don’t think anyone serious uses them anymore due to the current code maintainers having some questionable allegiances.

Not sure if you count nonprofits, but the Braille Institute has Atkinson Hyperlegible

Ah, a fellow engineer!

Depending on your preferences, !biodiversity@mander.xyz and !biology@mander.xyz are both pretty great.

I’ve had tidal for the past few years and I’ll never leave by choice. They even lowered their subscription price last year.

Perfect use of scientific vocabulary.

I think they’re referring to this species. Although the cloning aspect adds yet another layer of wtf on top.

Ant queen lays eggs that hatch into two species

I read through that entire thing, saw Charles, and just skipped right over it. That’s perfect though.

You could also get one of the SSD drives that look like flash storage. I got a “usb stick” with 512GB SSD for about $60 last year.

The one with a bunch of golden lab dogs dressed in lab coats? It’s still hanging on my fridge.

Just played through the tutorial. Looks and plays great.

Aww dang. I was holding off on getting a T-Deck until Mestastic 2.6 dropped, and would’ve really preferred an E-Ink version.

If it’s even close to M&B or Daggerfall my upcoming summer break is in trouble.

I think it’s still a valid question if you frame it along the lines of “something useful at protests, but also in everyday peaceful life”.

Meshtastic LoRa is worth looking into if you’re going to protests with friends/family/cohorts. You can get a waterproof, GPS enabled, credit-card sized module with multi-day battery life and no flashing required for $35 (T1000-E). That’s specifically because it can also be used when hiking, going to festivals, or just for fun.

I was just at a Mardi Gras parade and text messages couldn’t go through due to network congestion from too many people. With a couple of meshtastic devices our phones could still text each other and see our GPS positions on a map. All with encryption enabled.

Love the idea so much that I tried it. Turns out a url for a babel page is around 2,000 bytes :-(

No idea about bike licenses.

High power radios in the hands of people who don’t know what they’re doing can cause a lot of issues. FRS/GMRS radios under 2 Watts in the U.S. don’t need a license. Licensing is a way to make sure people using them know how to do so effectively, and provides for stiffer penalties if someone unlicensed causes issues.
