@_elena@mastodon.social It’s tricky and frustrating when you see hundreds of repeaters and companions, in neighbouring countries too, and then your own messages barely get a repeat. I guess I should try having both a repeater and a companion, too.

@heyheymomo@socel.net This is me and my in-laws every Christmas.

@pinakographos I’ve always wondered what the approach for controlling that level of detail is. Post-processing in Photoshop?

@el@tilde.zone I have very limited experience and knowledge so far, but I started with Meshtastic and switched to MeshCore. At least in Denmark, the network seems larger (and maybe more stable?) due to the much higher hop limit. I have received messages from the other side of the country via 15-16 hops, which would not be possible on Meshtastic. Also, the MeshCore app has some quite nice LoS and Coverage tools.

@simulo This is difficult to put into words, but re: Synthetic users: On the face of it, it seems like such a disconnect, resting on a "the map is not the territory" fallacy. I'm guessing an LLM will have been trained on transcripts/reactions etc. to generate a plausible reaction to a product test. But the transcript is not the user - it's the result of the user meeting something and trying to formulate their thoughts into words. How can that be a sufficient data foundation for synthetic users?
