We have a similar organisation to the FCC that deals with these matters. I will take this up with our radio specialist first though.

The bit that has me scratching my head is that it is our analogue VHF system that is picking up these communications.

All emergency services are supposed to have moved to digital, encrypted channels and yet I am sitting here listening to the police despatch co-ordinate units to chase an agitated man with a bat as we speak. It's happening daily, especially early in the morning but it just doesn't make any sense to me.

Unless some part of their network is still analogue, we shouldn't be hearing anything.

I do not know enough about the technical side of these technologies to understand this, I just use them regularly.

We have an extensive network of private repeaters set up all over the state on our own land. I just hope it is not us that are somehow causing this problem. We have the requisite licenses for all of our bands and nothing has really changed for us. Trouble only started when they went digital.

Go ahead and make that list if you're so inclined. On par with Pulp Fiction? Come on. This has got to be good.

There's no argument to be made really. Nobody is obligated to take on the considerable risk that being federated with this type of content entails.

We are talking about porn communities where posters actively attempt to appear underage.

I just watched someone make an argument that defederating was discriminatory against trans people who sexually identify as 'littles'.

Again, why the hell would anyone volunteer to have any of that type of content stored on a server that they are responsible for? It's a massive legal risk and nobody is obligated to take it.

This is not the first time that the NSFW instance has refused to deal with blurry lines around child sexual abuse material. They think it's ok for people to present as children in this context and they have to accept that no reasonable person wants any association with that content.

Out of context as raw images, that's a hard case to defend.

We use the same licensed VHF network at work for the last 30 years. Ever since our local cops switched to 'digital', 'encrypted' radio comms, we regularly pick them up on our VHFs across the entire district, regardless of what frequency we are on.

It's like their whole thing is leaking across the bands, which should not be possible given that it's encrypted but here we are. If it were anyone else, we'd be pursuing them for abusing the frequency band that we pay for but it doesn't feel like a battle that we want to start.

I hope Myanmar calm their troubles soon. I have my doubts though. I've been watching for years because I'd love to visit the country - every time it calms down, some military leader decides he's seen enough progress for one decade and launches a coup.

It's pretty easy to block the sources of such news. I certainly don't see any of it. I operate on the assumption that the kardashians all died from full blown AIDS. I might not be right today or tomorrow, but soon.

Yeah man, it wasn't a great time. I only publicly lost it once. I had a young baby at home so I was taking all the precautions imaginable at the time - early days so it was still a big scary bogeyman especially for babies and the elderly.

I'm masked up grabbing a few things at a local grocery store and this vile woman walking towards me takes off her fucking mask to do a huge sneeze. Sprayed the entire isle with visible particulate. I fucking lost it. I had a can of something in my hands and I threw it violently into the ground sending goop everywhere and started screaming about her being a disgusting bitch and asked her what the point of the mask was. Not my proudest moment. I did my best to stay home after this unless absolutely unavoidable. People are gross.

There's a massive difference in smoothness between 60 and 120hz for me, even just scrolling you can tell straight away how deliciously smooth 120 is.

Who the FUCK is out there shitting in public restrooms? Obviously you don't leave the house in the morning before you shit and then shower, in that order. Only an insane person takes a dump in a public restroom.

The pandemic taught me that 90% of public restrooms will leave my hands dirtier than when I started, and risk further infection than if I just go in, piss, don't touch anything and then front kick that door open.
