Oddbean new post about login | logout This is my choice of communications worldwide. With a subscription of just $49.95 a month I get unlimited messaging everywhere on the globe. Paired with the Garmin explore application you get mapping as well. You can’t beat this. More folks should consider using this device. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/765374
That's still proprietary and you can be locked out of your account pretty easily. I have a similar device for when I hike solo. But it's not something I'd rely on for primary coms.
Very cool, but, It’s a shitcoin
What do you rely on for primary comms, if I may ask?
Anything FOSS and encrypted, really. Signal, simplex, matrix, nostr, etc. All of them have issues, but, a variety at hand is useful and provides some redundancy.
Thank you 😊 and GM 🌞
You're welcome. And thank you. ☺️ There is no perfect communication platform. Every one of those I listed has some advantages over the others. There are tons more (XMPP and session cons to mind at the moment) that also have their uses. I don't go all in on one thing or another, favoring a diverse approach that remains flexible.
