Money is going into AT Protocol to build up to what ActivityPub already is


It's a bit VHS vs Betamax, but commercial interests are also going to skew towards AT.
in reply to mattlqx

I really don't see why people are funding a second Protocol. ActivityPub is perfectly fine and be expanded for those few cases it's not enough. I'm glad we at least have a bridge with @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy but that's an opt in thing that users on both sides need to follow. It just kind of sucks that Bluesky and AT Protocol is getting more attention than the Fediverse and ActivityPub knowing we've proven that we can create more than just one platform with our protocol.

This story as written is deceptive and omits key facts.

#Colombia DID NOT reject repatriation of its citizens. It rejected the landing of military planes and the handling of its citizens in chains as criminals. The norm for repatriation is to deliver people unbound in civilian planes. Colombia upheld its duty to protect the dignity and bodies of its citizens, consistent with international treaties, which the US was violating.

English media is routinely distorting the facts.

Looking for an Android data migration tool


I recently got a fairphone and I want to move my pictures, contacts, messages, etc. from my old android phone to the new one. My initial search found some apps that do this but they look like absolute privacy nightmares. What is a good way to accomplish this without handing my phone contents out like candy to whichever malevolent spyware developer?

I managed to get everything moved over except some google data, man they are bastards. I am happy to be a little more extracted from their ecosystem though.

Making A Mini AM Transmitter Better


The chances are that many of you will have made an FM “bug” style transmitter, a simple one-transistor oscillator usually driven by a small electret microphone. It’s also relatively straightforward to do the same for AM, and if you take a look through AliExpress you’ll find some modules which do just that. [Doz Television Workshop] has one, and he’s treated us to a thorough run-down of its design before addressing some of its shortcomings.

An AM transmitter is simple enough, in this case an oscillator and buffer driving a class C power amplifier. The modulation is applied by a transistor in series with the power amp, driven from an audio amplifier. Some attention has gone into the design of this one, with a proper output filter and plenty of room for tweaking to achieve proper levels and modulation density. There are some problems though — The modulator transistor is mounted upside down for the heatsink, and the frequency stability leaves something to be desired. [Doz] fixes the heatsink mounting and incorporates a DDS frequency synthesizer with an Arduino for control.

More after the break…

The resulting transmitter is better, but there’s still a problem. The limitations of AM broadcasting demanded both limiting and pre-emphasis, which he applies in software through one of the more powerful Teensy boards. We have to admit we’d have tried to do the job the analogue way, but that’s merely preference.

This board looks to be a good solution for an AM radio collector wishing to use their sets in an age of declining AM transmission. It should be legal under Part 15 for Americans, but as he points out it’s not for Brits. We suspect such a low-powered device wouldn’t attract adverse attention though. The video is below the break.

If you don’t need so much quality, it’s possible to do the job in a much less elegant manner.

The character has one hand to its mouth, and the other hand appears to be holding a long, thin object resembling a gun or wand. Above the character's head is a small, stylized diamond shape.
