A drug trade doesnt create wealth usually.. I mean if i sell heroin, heroin itself doesnt really have utility (as it only harms people)... and ultimately leads people to behave in ways that are wealth destroying... so no... that wouldnt generate wealth, it would be one of the main examples of destroying wealth.
What name do you like best for a non-profit #FOSS community for Ham Radio? Think Apache incubator but for Ham plus other open-source services and resources for the community.
FYI I have both the dot com and dot org as well as the hyphenated and non hyphenated versions of the below. Please mention which variant you prefer in comments.
#Ham #HamRadio #Amateur #AmateurRadio #RF #Radio #Foss #Floss #OpenSource #Programming
So apparently I just realized when i first started as a ham over a decade ago I participated in an E-M-E contact (Earth-Moon-Earth). I had no idea what it was at the time but i see in my notes it just says "EME net?" and now as a more expiernced ham i literally know I was talking with someone by bouncing our signals off the moon..... soooo cool.
@AmpBenzScientist I looked into desantis, I think he might even be worse than trump if thats possible...
@thor I cant speak to your language. But as someone who is particularly aweful at learning new languages I can say of all the languages I ever attempted the non-dead language I found the easiest would be German.
That said of all languages I am best at latin, and even that not anywhere near great... I think it being a deadlanguage no one is alive to correct my bad pronunciation either :)

Cheese burgers and houses **are** wealth... Based on your wording you are confusing "wealth" (things that have utility and value) and money..
If you have profit alone, then you just are moving money around.. you arent generating wealth (or money)... in order to generate wealth you must increase the overall number of things in society with utility... So yes what i said already was in line with what your saying, you just are using wealth in the way of "collecting wealth" which is not the same as "generating wealth".
> The people who actually create those things should be the wealthy in a just society, not the people who were born to it.
Agreed, like the people who sacraficed decades to create the idea, get funding, investing in the building, getting the money to pay people to do the labour, etc... yes the owners who risk everything and actually create the wealth are the people who should be wealthy.
Obviously I dont buy the two party nonsense... but even if i assumed it were true for a second...
If my choices are:
1) Vote Biden - Help Biden a lot, hurt Trump a lot
2) Vote Trump - Hurt Biden a lot, Help Trump a lot
3) Vote Third party - Hurt Biden a little, Help Trump a little, Help third parties show better numbers and support for future elections.
I will go with 3 every single time... It reduces how much I help either candidate (more so than a direct vote for Trump as I'm sure you will agree)... and has some positive effect on the adoption of third parties by people int he future....
#3 is the clear win for me, even in a two party system.
Can anyone suggest a candidate other than Biden or Trump that look fairly moderate and a good choice? I have ruled out all third-party, all alternative democrats, and of course Trump... This leaves me thinking maybe one of the republican candidates are worth voting for but so far every one of those I checked out are pretty horrific too...
Is there even one candidate that is remotely a reasonable and moderate choice?
> When I've landed employment, I will know how much time I'd be able to devote to such a thing.
Since this is open source if its something you want to be a part of you have no obligations. Put the time in you want, and feel free to pull back or lean into it as you feel you wish to.
> A one-stop shop for amateur radio FOSS would be great. ARFOSS? HAMFOSS?
Still brainstorming the name... My thinking is open-source in ham is really lacking, so i want to encourage that. But also the state of software is very archaic with some huge issues that are very dangerous... I dont want to point them out in public as someone might exploit it, but one software related gap I could easily exploit to take down a amateur radio service across the **entire globe** and there would be no way to stop me even if i said what the exploit was... Its stuff like this that tells me there is a huge need for FOSS communities and incubators in HAM to push people to more open standards.
> Are you thinking a separate, but public, github/svn style thing, web driven, or something else?
QOTO itself is a service basically for open-source STEM. So we provide a bunch of free stuff to help faciliatate that... It includes a GitLab instance with full Ultimate licenses for every user. I was going to use QOTO resources to host the software itself, and make this a group on that gitlab server.
That said I wouldnt be opposed to hosting our own dedicated Gitlab server... but that would cost more as it is a hefty service.
> I'm not saying no.. I'm saying yes, but it'd have to be a side-gig that I can work on after normal work hours.
This is open source, thats how it works, you commit whatever time you want day to day, no obligations other than to let the community know your availability at any time when possible if we rely on you for a deliverable thats all.

Echo chambers are real.
So i spent a few hours guaranteeing 20 instances, and adding about 25 or 30 endorsements/censors/hesitations.
I love the idea and I think it has a LOT of potential.
Regardless I want to list it all here so the effected instances can be aware and if they wish respond/react. You can read my reason for endorsement of any of the below servers in the links provided.
I suppose this can also double as my #FollowFriday #FF !
Also please consider if you are an admin signing up and endorsing these and other instances as well.

@AmpBenzScientist yea, though that is pretty common stuff for this server.. pretty sure almost everyone has good math and tech skills :)
But yea i figured in non-political stuff we would be more similar
Toughbook fan, Mathematician and Locksmith with limited success in other areas.
Political stance is far right and far left. Proponent of First Aid Kits and PPE. Easily disheartened by big tech. Partially hinged personality and stubborn enough to not write this in the First Person.
Distrust of Psychology and a fan of satire. I love a good joke and contradict myself. Somewhat serious but easily distracted.
