People who actually have to work and get the bread of the day are not spending money on that. IMHO. Sorry if I sound rude but honestly unless you want to experiment with something that hardly will have any real impact in real life you are just wasting money.
To use these kind of devices you need at least two people using it.
Anyway I guess people spend their money on whatever they want.
Weird, I work and get bread and I’ve got one, and my family members all have one. And most forms of communication need at least two people last I checked.
Is it our primary form of communication? No. But if cell towers go down we’re all within range of sending a text. If I lived in a city I’d definitely have one. It’s a stupid cheap insurance policy. But by all means, depend fully on your cell provider for communication.
Here’s something fun for you: Look up Kessler syndrome. If we were to lose control of our satellite networks for 24 hours, there’s a 30% chance it causes a chain reaction to where we lose the ability to even launch satellites without first cleaning up all the space debris. That time window shrinks with each new launch.
They do have a point sadly. I absolutely cant convince any of my friends to get the fuck off of fb messenger and x and Instagram, even though its SO EASY to do so and find better alternatives. They sure as shit would never ever buy something like this.
I do kind of want one. But in my smaller city there’s no way id find another person with one.
My point is, you need two devices and ALSO the knowledge to set up these devices, it was implicit in the comment, some “normal” people even need support to setup WhatsApp do you really think they will use that kind of stuff? $20 is not a lot of money but there are people who can’t afford it anyway. Unless you live in an overpopulated area it will be pretty hard to find someone else using that kind of device, it’s just another hobby like VHF/UHF and CB.
Meshtastic it’s just coping it don’t have a real application and supposing someone make a business and start deploying the system for money the kind of people who are into it will say “greedy fuckers”
There are already users of these though? Meshtastic has plenty of nodes in the US afaik and is perfectly useable. It uses long range radios for communication so you only need a few people in a state to do it for it to work.

You don’t sound rude, you just sound too defeated to be able to think

Meshtatic radios are very cheap, about $20. It’s one of their main drivers of their popularity.
🤣🤣🤣 A communications device that requires a receiver and a sender??? Oh, how useless!
There’s over 300 meshtastic radios in my area.
Got a link? Also, do we need to dial in to a specific frequency?

TIL: Incels have their own Lemmy instance. Good for you!
Ah looked up the instance and while I didn’t find it I learned it’s not named after “magic the gathering online”
Edit: maybe “magic the gathering online for women” would be a funny way to use the same acronym
Ah done weird conspiracy shit in their comments to
I have no clue what you believe this event is actually about and why people go there.
Yes, listen to this guy - this is totally useless and you should only use
