Radio/ether heeft z'n dienst behoorlijk bewezen in crisissituaties. En juist amateurradio heeft lokaal grote verschillen kunnen maken. Iirc. En ook in allerlei doemscenario's speelt het een rol. Dus een moderne versie ervan heeft potentie. Je hoeft niet elke NL'er erop te hebben om effect te creëren
Ja maar eens even zien of de nogal bedreven community met heel veel technische kennis het netwerk betrouwbaarder en landelijk dekkend krijgt. Of: regionaal dekkend. Niks mis mee. Mooi initiatief.
"Ja maar, noodzender"
Ja maar, noodradio-netwerk"
Right.
Tja. Ik maak mij alleen sterk dat als de gebruikelijke verbindingen plat liggen, de radio ook.
Staat in het artikel: regionale omroepen zijn rampenzender, dus handig als journalisten dan informatie kunnen doorgeven via het mesh-netwerk. Dan weet iedereen die luistert naar de radio wat er gebeurt en waar.
En waar gaan die journalisten hun producten plaatsen als alles plat ligt? ;)
Kijk! @tonverlind.bsky.social zit ook op Meshcore en raadt het journalisten ook aan.

Prof Lord Nicholas Stern, Chair of Grantham Research Institute: "I welcome the clear and strong commitment from Ed Miliband to accelerate the pace of electrification and the transition to clean power."
The core response to climate change "must be a rapid reduction in world demand for fossil fuels."
IPPR on Ed Miliband's energy speech:
“The transition to net zero is the only way to protect the UK from a never-ending wave of international conflict driving up energy prices.
“Closing the Strait of Hormuz won’t push up the price of solar. Trump invading Greenland wouldn’t make wind more costly."
"Low-income households will get [free] plug-in solar panels to cut their energy bills, the Government has announced."
This is how you do a just transition.

An update from my very occasional newsletter, on plural AI futures and previewing some new @carefultrouble.bsky.social research with the Data Labelers' Association buttondown.com/justenoughin...

“This fascinating report attempts to think through the politics of different alternatives in a way that will be of real interest to all those engaged in this debate.” /12
@anandmenon.bsky.social of @ukandeu.bsky.social said
“For many reasons, a recognition of the cost of Brexit, a realisation that the ‘reset’, should it succeed, will have only a relatively small economic impact and the impact of Donald Trump among them, the debate on UK-EU relations is shifting. "
in our continent where the UK can have the power to share decisions and exert proper influence. Recognition of that rational economic, political and security reality is gaining increasing public support, as this report shows. It ... will bring electoral appeal & serve the future generations."
Neal Kinnock former leader of the Labour Party and VP of @ec.europa.eu said:
“With an erratic US President playing war-games with all our lives, as he launches inflation-spiking conflict across the globe, it is now more obvious than ever that our ‘special relationship’ has to be with our neighbour
“Looking beyond the current EU negotiations, pushing for UK membership is the most sustainable policy option available - not only would it create the most growth, it would also galvanise support from progressives across the UK." /8
Tom Bruffato, lead author of the report, said:
“As the UK faces alarming volatility overseas and worrying economic stagnation at home, our findings indicate that the government revisiting its approach to Europe is set to become not only legitimate, but essential."
and deeply felt support for EU membership. "
“Lengthy negotiations accompany all of these options, but its only membership that provides both the economic boon and the political safety net to fend off the concerns around sovereignty swiftly exploited by the faux-patriots on the right.”
@pimlicat.bsky.social stated: "We've crunched the numbers to assess the relative economic merit and political pain of each of the alternatives, and it's plain to see little appetite exists for the halfway houses of a customs union or single market entry, relative to the resounding and
The study also highlights that EU membership would generate a more ambitious growth agenda than the status quo, and would restore the UK’s status as a decision maker, rather than a rule-taker, in Europe. /8
The analysis also highlights that advocating a membership approach - as opposed to a CU or SM - would be the only proposal to increase support among @labouruk.bsky.social @libdems.org.uk and @greenparty.org.uk backers (+7%, +11% and +14% respectively). /7
And even two fifths (39%) of Conservative supporters and 1 in 5 (18%) of Reform UK supporters back this policy position, further shoring it up - in conjunction with the resounding support from left-leaning voters - as the most sustainable policy path forward overall. /6
or diverging even further from the EU, with a majority of voters (53%) in favour and just a third (32%) opposed.
Support for rejoining the EU is also highest among Labour (83%), Liberal Democrat (84%) and Green Party (82%) supporters with more than 3 in 5 (63-69%) of each strongly supporting this.
Over twice that number (42%) say they only “somewhat support” Labour’s strategy suggesting the bulk of backers are ‘holding their nose’. Moreover, beyond the government’s current stance, the UK becoming an EU member is the most popular option, compared to joining the EU’s SM, negotiating a UK-EU CU.
Based on polling by @yougov.co.uk the new analysis finds that although 61% support the government’s current approach to EU relations, which aims to reset the relationship, build closer ties and establish deeper alignment, but just a 19% express “strong” support. /3
A comprehensive assessment of the economic benefits and political trade offs has determined that, if progress on the government’s UK-EU reset stalls, backing the UK’s membership is the only sustainable policy position to offer a political dividend to its proponents. /2
