I love these posts, every week it's "Gloop is now on Ploof!"

People interested in BitChat should download it just so you have it in case it gets popular or you find someone to use it with. I tested it and it's surreal to text without WiFi or cellular.

If they care so much about availability maybe they should reconsider including libs.gms.location and be available on F-Droid (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/24907#...)

Is this bit-chat or bitch-at?

Bitchat is an AOS (https://andotherstuff.org/#foundry-projects) project. Surprised, they didn't rehost it on ngit (https://gitworkshop.dev/), which is also an AOS project.

Yo where's my

That Radicle site design is an interesting take for a git repo platform. Good use of full width spacing, well thought out navigation, nice code rendering. I dig it.

Are there any special features comparing with other decentrilized message product? Such as Nostr or XMTP？

In theory, this could work.

Setup machine with bluetooth receiver.

Funnel packets from Bluetooth receiver over a virtual private network (ie, wireguard, tailscale, netbird).

Then in another state/country/continent with server connected to vpn then rebroadcasts those packets over BLE.

A mesh network overlayed on top of another mesh network.

I hope they will enjoy fighting with https://radicle.dev/ over the project name.

btw what's the current state of mesh wifi?

seems like after November or January 2029 might need it since administration now has a kill-switch so why wouldn't they use it

Such a terrible name. Can't believe marketing didn't catch it.

Is this irc compatible?
