Just wondering, what kind of business’s use a radio repeater like that? I had thought most radios were used for airlines, or public services

I just finished my thesis last semester, it’s a huge milestone. Good luck on yours!

End the workaholic streak and get back to my hobbies, maybe even make new friends via hobbies

1000% agree. But to Lemmy’s credit, I found a greate niche community of linux and programming enthusiasts, plus I’ve noticed I run into Europeans more in the wild on here.

I think the fediverse has it’s benefits. Still not a full replacement. Truthfully I don’t think it will ever be, those niche communities will always end up being hosted where it suits them best.

I know these people closely, you do not. I don’t think they expect him to go full on dictator. Maybe thats true for some other Trumpists, majority not true for the ones I know.

Talking points you brought up seem to be a strawman. For Christians, a big reason they vote for Trump is because the Republican party has taken a hard stance on not allowing abortion. For many, many Christians, that is as serious a topic, as facism is on left-wing discussion forums.

And again, their voting ideology is not so clear cut. They don’t support Trump because they believe he is perfect in every category, rather, he checks the one box (or rather, his party) that is extremely controversial and important to them.

Also yeah, right-wing extremists are more common then left-wing. So there is a concern there. I stand by what I said though, that the majority of Trump voters do not support extremist action.

From my conversations with Trump supporters, they typically acknowledge Trump is a bad choice and don’t like the way he acts, talks, etc. They typically view what Trump says as an exaggeration, saying things like “he won’t actually xyz”.

Universally, people I know that support Trump in real life, support him either because they are Christian, and feel that the Democratic party is against their core values. Or, they feel some kind of hatred against leftists, because of propoganda they have been fed.

That’s the way I see reality. There are extremists on both sides, but I refuse to stop believing that Trumpists aren’t voting with what they believe is best for America, even if I personally disagree with them.

I really dislike these discussions that paint the other side of a political battle as something insane like Nazi’s, that just isn’t real, and it makes me so sad to see people either believing it, or feeding the cycle by adding to the joke.

I like how the top 2 comments imply that all the trump supports are nazi supporters, despite the article explicitly stating that the boat was a known anti-semitic person who has tried to stir shit up in europe as well. There is even a video of trump supports splashing the boat to try to get them out of the parade: https://twitter.com/i/status/1845629364525846602

I think I’m going to stop interacting with political feeds until after the election. It seems obvious that party politics are in full swing, and everyone is trying to demonize the other by making strawman arguments. Please, just vote logically and for the rights and justifications that are at stake, not because you think your fellow americans that disagree with you are anti-semitic.

I agree with everything you said, but I gotta ask: What is a zeeb?

I’m so glad I have a Reddit alternative now like Lemmy. Every news article I see about some corporate move Reddit makes, it seems further and further removed from the community-driven website I had hoped it would be.

Specifically, I think the abilty to make hydrogren from renewable resources at large-scale will change everything. Hydrogen fuel cells are more space efficient, and require less toxic manufacturing, when compared to current renewable energy generation and storage methods. If hydrogen is seen as cheaper or more green than other power sources, it will change the market completely.

Hydrogen generation is also an active research area, and just this year they’ve have some promising results for renewable hydrogen.
