  • The actual problem isn’t at all making a 4G mini-computer: you can literally buy the necessary parts as modules and wire them together with a a half-way decent microcontroller board and an smallish LED display and then make some code for it in something like Arduino IDE (though I would recommend Platform IO + VS Code instead).

    The problem is making it small (especially thin) and capable of running of batteries for days rather than hours.

    For example, if you’re trying to actually solve the hard part of the problem you would be better of using a micro-controller with an ARM core rather than the ESP32 as those things are designed to use less power. Also you wouldn’t be able to use boards as those things usually waste power versus designing your own.

    That said, it’s a nice hobbyist project.


  • Interesting that you think that when a child mass murder supporter just orders others, if they don’t obey it’s “bad faith”.

    That autocratic amoral mindset definitely explains your belief that people should just accept that no matter how evil the Democrat Party leadership becomes people have an obligation to vote for them, as well as your total inability to understand that others would not unquestioningly support leaders who would do evil to such an extent.

    Morally, you’re the same as Trump, Putin, Xi and their supporters.


  • Your entire approach to what I wrote is a perfect example of Democrat Party “Dialectics is more important than human lives” thinking - dissembling, whataboutism, technicalities, distraction whilst not at all addressing the point much less be willing to improve things.

    “The United States has been at war or in armed conflict for 229 out of 249 years since its founding” which is a lot of Democrat Presidents and Congress Majorities.

    Amazingly, your own examples of “war criminals” - Putin AND Xi - together are responsible for way fewer children murdered than Joe Biden alone, with just him giving Israel 2000 pound bombs (which the US Military itself - even after Obama changed the definition of “enemy combatant” to be pretty much “any male” so that his dronings of weddings in Afghanistan didn’t look quite as murderous - refuses to use because their collateral damage is so massive) to use against targets in Gaza which is a urban environment, putting him ahead, just behind Netanyahu.

    (Even fucking Putin whose who has been in power for decades is responsible for invading Ukraine hasn’t managed to get anywhere near that child body-count).

    Biden actively supported a Genocidal state with weapons designed to inflict maximum civilian casualties to use in an urban environment. The only way to be more despicable than that would be to personally murder the children himself.

    The last US President who wasn’t a child murdering war criminal was maybe Clinton and that was over 20 years ago.

    Tribalist muppets like you who put party support above the lives of children are why the present day Democrat Party has so devolved from even a wealth-supporting neoliberal President like Clinton, that their last president was an active child mass murder supporter and the person the chose to field as a candidate replace him which was an child mass murder supporter herself.

    That the Democrat Party leadership REFUSES to even move away from supporting child mass murder abroad even to attract votes from the Left in order to “Stop Trump” (as they so loudly claimed they wanted) says everything about their Morals and what’s genuinely important for them, and that you in your posts here doggedly support them in NOT MOVING AN INCH FROM SAID POSITION instead blaming millions of people for not voting for somebody who wants to help mass murder children, says everything that needs to be said about your own moral character.





  • Discontent only turns into Revolution when enough people voice it and act on it, as they feed each other’s confidence in changing things eventually turning into a critical mass for change.

    An external enemy that attacks for no reason, more so one which is so murderous and immoral that they would mass kill children, will make a lot of people not voice their discontent with the only structure capable of unifying them in defense against the external agreessor, much less act against it.

    Then on top of that, that murderous foreign aggressor has actually voiced their the desire for said Revolution.

    If before in Iran voicing opposition to the regime might actually inspire others to also voice their own discontent, now it will inspire others to attack that person for doing what that foreign aggressor wants.

    So what before was growing into a critical mass for change amongst the general population has now been rolled back into what is most small groups of like-minded extremelly anti-regime individuals surrounded by a general population that sees them as working for a foreign aggressor which is so evil that they blew up a school full of children.


  • In that racist muck of how you expressed yourself one does find the bright jewel of a point that in the West (especially America, IMHO) there’s a overwhelming tendency to “blame the foreigners” in some way or other (be it “immigrants” or “foreign states”) for things which are first and foremost the fault of 100% local people, the 100% local system that puts them in power and the 100% local citizenry who went along with all of it for decades.

    Specifically on what America is doing now, none of whatever Russian influence (much less, the far, far, vaster Israeli one) would at all work if the quality of the local politicians which people kept putting in power for decades (all the while going along with the stupidly obvious nationalist propaganda of how special America) wasn’t so abysmally bad.

    Americans in general are first and foremost to blame for this shit, mainly for their cheerleading of a system which started flawed and got increasingly broken over time without them doing anything to fix it (when was the last time there was a General Strike in the US???!).






  • I think American support for the Far-Right all over Europe has been ongoing and pretty openly so for a while now: some years ago Steve Bannon even came to Europe with money to - as he himself said - grow the Far-Right in Europe.

    Israel being an ethno-Fascist country are also very interested in the growth of the Far-Right in Europe as plenty of warm welcome of European Fascists in Israel attest to, including some who have often openly made anti-semitic statements.

    I suspect the horse of CIA + MOSSAD support for Far-Right parties in Spain (and the rest of Europe) has long bolted from the stable, in which case it won’t be any worse if leftwing and even centrist European leaders cut off support for those nations, maybe even the opposite since those nations are already actively supporting their political adversaries.

    PS: Whilst I’m not in Spain, I am in next door Portugal, and you can be pretty damn sure that America as a nation are total buddy-buddies specifically with the mainstream Portuguese supposedly center-right party (only not really center anything, plus they have been drifitting even further rightwards in the last decade or two) which is the equivalent of the PP and is currently in government in Portugal (which is why Portugal has been supporting both the US and Israel, including in the slanted coverage - very much using the same tricks as the BBC and NYT - of the Genocide and the this war in the local Media aligned with that side of politics).



  • Well that’s a shame.

    I’ve been looking around for a replacement to my aged Samsung A6 (which has been given an extended life by replacing the factory ROM with something with less bloatware, but is still pretty limited in terms of memory) which is not a Surveillance Outpost for just who knows how many nations and just about any companies willing to pay the 3 cents of whatever for the data, and all the Linux and degoogled Android makers only have 10"+ ones, which are too big for my use case which carry a tablet on a coat or trousers back pocket when I’m going to be sitting down somewhere and waiting for something so that I can read books and maybe browse the internet on their free WiFi.

    Personally I would LOOOVE a small Linux tablet, but I’m OK with some kind of privacy respecting Android which isn’t riddled with backdoors mandated by governments which have Information Courts issuing Secret Bulk Information Collecting Orders, like the US and the UK.




  • Any nation using nukes and getting away with it would trigger a massive nuclear race in the entire world as everybody tried to nukes (either to defend themselves from those with nukes since the possibility of nukes being used offensivelly had become a reality, or to themselves engage in wars of conquest using nukes against nations without nukes) and in a World with many more nuclear armed nations sooner or later other nations too would use nukes, in an escalating fashion, ultimatelly leading to nuclear war all over the planet and the end of our civilization as we know it and possibly even Humanity.

    This is why EVERYBODY, allies included, would turn against any nation that used nukes - it would be the only way to stop an escalation that would innevitably lead to a nuclear holocaust.

    For all their threats to do so, it’s not by chance that Russia did not use nukes in Ukraine: amongst others the Chinese made it very clear that any use of nuclear weapons was a hard red line for them.
