<p>When you price in externalities (landslides, replanting, etc.), and others don't is easily turns the scale. Especially if others are selling illegally cut down trees... (Not alleging anybody in this specific case, but have some examples from my closer neighborhood)</p>

<p>might have mixed it up with dPMR, HAMs have lots of overlapping similar stuff... and love gatekeeping.<p>Nevertheless IMO the mentioned demographics/use-cases want something turnkey ready, ~single button, and currently LORA based stuff is not like that, and is clumsier and needs a certain level of... tinkerer mindset, compared to a commercial license free radio system (which might have been set up with a minimal effort), where learning curve is basically volume knob and PTT button.<p>I have handed out simple FM radios for total tech-illiterate people (mothers, children, elderly physical workers) in an outdoor event with 0 cell coverage, and comms worked perfectly over the dozen square kilometer area. Biggest incident was a lost radio handset.</p>

<p>I agree, this site is an eyesore.<p>I use windows color filters (Grayscale inverted is my preferred, in the past I used plain inverted) for poor man's dark mode (or light mode in this case) for stuff that doesn't honor my color scheme and hurts my eyes. It also has a hotkey, so it is really handy sometimes, but you need to enable it in the settings.<p>Assistive technologies are great, not only because they benefit those who have no choice but to rely on them, but also they can benefit the luckier people.</p>

<p>I guess this is largely equivalent to Qvik in Hungary.<p>- Instantenous transfers (<5 sec hard requirement, usually sub-second) between local banks,
- All local banks must implement support (not sure about the deadline, system is working reliably since a few years),
- money can be sent or requested (needs approval, of course).
- Primary IDs (bank account numbers) and optional secondary IDs (Phone number, email address) can be used
- Supports QR codes for requests,
- Free from any transfer costs for private people (not sure about companies) under 20M HUF (~50k EUR).<p>It is implemented using an Erlang according to my information, and is a very robust, well designed and tested scalable system.</p>
