kermet 🐸
Just.... read those comments
but vijeho
Oh, not you specifically lol
lol
these armchair radio lawyers
at least the law keeps anarchists off our bands <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>
*HAM not worth it, i'll stick with my Comcast thankyouverymuch*
loik
do they realize they have an ip, a mac address?
Yeah, but at least you're allowed to encrypt
are you ban from encrypt on HAM
definitely
Even compression is frowned upon
They want you to transmit in plain text mostly
And these operators *love it!*
whats the open frontier then?
It doesn't exist
FCC has their dicks up everyone's asses
Hell, it's illegal to even *automate* any of your transmissions
well that blows a lot of cool ideas
Right?
But don't tell the hams that. They'll read you the riot act about "The spirit of the hobby!" or whatever
or list off FCC codes
well it is what it is, its radio waves
they are after all, right up there
having them rattle off the FCC codes before i do something stupid is helpful actually
Maybe the free market should shield their products better?
Thing is, you don't know if it's stupid
You'll never be able to find out
stupid as in illegal
eh, no victim no crime
say that after Gunner's radio gets us nuked
*Would you like to play a game?*
now i remember why i never got into it
a friend and i had some ideas about it, close to 10 years ago, but after i looked into it i realized how much of a pain it was
some of the stuff we wanted to do wouldn't have even been allowed
i guess the operators can sleep easy knowing they are protected from the clutter haha
Bunch of grumpy old fucks that want to stifle creativity so they can continue LARPing Red Dawn and complaining about their prostate to another continent
