Comments, folks? I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if this this would be a safe way to communicate. Sine BT is usually a distance limited thing, how does this get a message to someone, let's say, in another city? #communication #bluetooth #messaging #resist

Bitchat ist Jack Dorseys internetfreie Messaging-App
Private Mitteilungen drahtlos zu übermitteln, aber ohne Internet - das soll Bitchat hinkriegen. Der Ansatz ist nicht ganz neu.
Greetings Programs!!
We're back at it tonight working on @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 4!! Come on by!!
How it feels texting that one bro who replies days later:
Greetings Programs!! We're back at it starting a brand new cycle towards @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 4!! When are the experimental versions over? Once we've stabilized a whole lot more API and that doesn't happen without putting in the work which is what we're doing tonight! Come on by!!
#Meta is killing #DMA #NIICS / #messaging #interoperability through a hundred petty (and not so petty) restrictions, which are questionable under the law. I hope:
1. @EUCommission will do something about this fundamental obstacle to the functioning of the #DMA...

Greetings Programs!! It's release day for @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 3!! It's not quite the release I was hoping for, but that's okay, that just means the next one will be better! (or something...) Come on by as we release it out to the wild!!
Grettings Programs!!! We are 4 days away from @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 3 and I'm still trying to get stuff done! Come watch me sweat or whatever!
I don't want to use YET another #messaging app for our immediate family only.
We really only use Signal, Discord & FB Messenger in a limited capacity.
I don't want to get cellphone numbers for them yet. And I can't find a data+wifi only way for them to "call" us.
I can't even use Google Chat because Google won't let me add an account managed by Family Link onto a device that has another Google account on it.
Screw this whole industry.
Greetings Programs!! We are 7 days away from @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 3!! Come on by and see what we're going to cut to make that date!!

Some people are spreading misinformation and lies about Element and Matrix. This is the factual response from Element.
The Matrix.org Foundation has published an article too, Dispelling myths and misinformation, https://matrix.org/blog/2025/06/dispelling-myths/.
I don’t know why people are doing this. The lies are so big & obvious, it’s… I’m disappointed.

Greetings Programs! We're back tonight in some regard. We're down to just about 10 days until @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 3 and we need to figure out what we can sneak in at the last minute! Come on by!!
Great News! I have moved to Signal for my messaging needs!
The catch: No one that I know personally uses it.
My take in 2 words: Use Signal.
"WhatsApp is rolling out ads. In an update on Monday, Meta announced that it will now show ads from businesses through its Stories-like status feature."
