  • T82 extreme pmr goes for 84€ (2 walkies), standard goes for 72€… 36 each like you said.

    Motorola is quite a recognised brand. If we are looking at “buy for life” stuff then it may be worth bumping up the budget for…

    Would u say that the Motorola’s would outlast a chinese walkie like Baofeng? How long have you had the t82 for?

    A baofeng 2-pack is 30€, so I’m just trying to figure out if a Motorola is the better investment…







  • Losing control of online perception has always been there. Microsoft paint, then photoshop and now AI. Not a whole lot u can do without a massive pr team/botfarm.

    Luckily most of us aren’t famous enough that online slander affects our real lives. Unless we go full black mirror with the real life social media rating system.

    As for local first solutions, that’s going to be hard. Most businesses, where I live, are managed by IT companies who use AWS, Intune and the all of the usual suspects.

    As long as there is no foss competition to large scale IT management, then it will be difficult to sway corporate that wants “just works”. Here is small chance to shill Zorin Grid. Looking forward to that release.

    On a smaller scale individuals will have a better chance. Even if it’s just convincing your coffeeshop boss to switch to only/libre office.

    Completely running self hosted communities in cities etc… that’s would be the end game. I think education and parental upbringing will have to become a major part of that. If every school and household has a linux pc and a nas where it’s the normal way of doing things… That would shift future tech use.










  • Desktop Enivorements > distro (when it comes to beginners)

    Can’t go wrong with any user friendly distro like zorin, mint, fedora, pop_os, anduin, debian, bodhi… the list goes on and on.

    Focus on desktop environment, do you like Kde Plasma, Gnome, Cinnamon or even Cosmic?

    If u truly want something different from winbloat go the tiling window manager route. Arch + Hyprland. Garuda or Cachy are both nice for a more beginner friendly arch experience(not really recommended for beginners, but i read in of your other comments that u want something more different from Windows)
