DMR without needing the site to setup your ID etc?

might have mixed it up with dPMR, HAMs have lots of overlapping similar stuff... and love gatekeeping. 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…

I was more pointing out the irony that DMR is being promoted which requires centralization.

Also, DMR isn’t all about Ham Radio. It is used commercially.

My understanding is that the rules around those is similar to prop 65 rules. So unfocused as to dilute the original purpose.

The cookies used by the site appear to almost all be from Cloudflare, GitHub, YouTube: service providers that are not at all interested in enabling a cookie-free web site, and chose this route as malicious compliance. There's also one cookie to store a language preference that could be handled through HTTP headers instead.

Yeah, this is basically what happened with prop 65 as well.
