genuinely the way you transmit VHF and UHF signals farther than visible range is by reflecting it off of temperature inversions in the troposphere

……this is genuinely how mirages work

why is it called tropospheric propagation and not miragic propagation /j

@wakame @puniko @cinnamon germany is a good case study on how not do it

they only started doing anything about it once people literally fucking died due to lack of emergency notification infra

@puniko @wakame @cinnamon
i find the priority wrong and likely causes people to miss emergency warnings

cell broadcasts are not some new fangled technology, it predates smart phones and has been widely deployed by mobile network providers since at least 2008. they place very little requirements on the device receiving them (it doesn’t require a ractive internet racconnection, or even have a sim raccard at all…) and infrastructure wise require a lot less than any phone app requiring push notifications will

it also, like, doesn’t require an app you first need to install and oops your phone is not supported for some reason. it’s part of the operating system on phones

which yeah the app is more versatile and all and likely useful regardless of that, but when an emergency hits the most likely alarms that’ll tell you will either be physical sirens or cell broadcasts

differentiation between omnivores (eats plants and meat) and omnivores (eats anything)

@puniko @wakame @cinnamon why is the first thought of politicians to get people to install an app nobody installs and requires internet racconnectivity to function, instead of using the emergency broadcasts functionality that has existed for decades and just requires any cell tower in range to broadcast the warning

the forp :)
