Top Amateur Radio Websites – Issue 2637
This week, we're looking at some interesting developments in the LoRa space, particularly how it's being leveraged for amateur radio applications. We've got a few resources that touch on mesh networking, off-grid text messaging, and the integration of LoRa with APRS. For those experimenting with portable setups or considering resilient communication methods beyond traditional HF, these items offer practical insights. There's also a utility for managing virtual serial ports, something that comes up often when interfacing modern transceivers or microcontrollers with logging software or control applications.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

I don't think its that women are better writers (a kind of sexism on its own), its simpler than that. Bad men writers are given more chances than they deserve, or women are given fewer than they deserve. That makes the quality of the stories lower for movies written by men.
