Jack Dorsey’s Bitchat App Sees Downloads Spike in Uganda Over Internet Shutdown Worries

“Recently, the app drew attention during Nepal’s Gen Z protests, where it supported protesters in overthrowing the government. On September 4, authorities banned 26 platforms, including Facebook, X, YouTube, and Signal, to curb demonstrations against nepotism and a digital tax. Downloads jumped from 3,000 to 50,000 daily, with 48,000 in Nepal alone on September 8, equating to 38% of global installations. Users leveraged Bitchat’s mesh networking capabilities, with each node extending reach up to 30 meters in crowded areas, to organise marches that culminated in arson at the parliament building and the regime’s fall.”
Bitchat is a decentralised peer-to-peer messaging application that operates over Bluetooth mesh networks. No internet required, no servers, no phone numbers. This also means ideally you want to have installed it BEFORE any outages.
It is an open source and offline mesh chat application, which means each device acts as both client and server, automatically discovering peers and relaying messages across multiple hops to extend the network’s reach. It is similar to what Meshtastic does with license-free radio. There is zero registration required, and therefore it is also not easy to identify anyone using it.
It does now also have Geohash channels, where someone on that channel will extend it to the Internet, if available. The Internet side can use the Tor network if available. Broadcast messages are public, but if you know someone’s handle on Bitchat, you can chat with full end-to-end-encryption.
It has an interesting feature to emergency delete all chats, keys, etc when you triple tap on the app title. And apart from protests and censorship resistance, it is also ideal for any natural disasters where infrastructure has been knocked out.
The app runs on iOS as well as Android.

How to absolutely *not* do #OpenSource: require people to commit to work on other issues with your project in order to file bugs. So, sorry, #Typer, I won't be filing bugs. You figure out how you messed up your release yourself.
Also, please don't use #FastAPI. They are clearly bothered by the fact that people dare use their projects and waste their precious time with support requests.

Let's get this straight: it is entirely normal for a #OpenSource project to accumulate bug reports over time. They're not a thing to be ashamed of.
On the contrary, if you see a nontrivial project with a very small number of bug reports, it usually means one of the following:
a. you've hit a malicious fake,
b. the project is very young and it doesn't have many users (so it's likely buggy),
c. the project is actively shoving issues under the carpet.
None of that is a good sign. You don't want to use that (except for b., if you're ready to be the beta tester).

#OpenSource #Regulation incoming! The @EUCommission is about to ask for feedback for:
* a strategic approach to the open source sector in the EU that addresses the importance of open source as a crucial contribution to EU technological sovereignty, security and competitiveness
* a strategic and operational framework to strengthen the use, development and reuse of open digital assets within the Commission.

Cache que todo congreso gringo tiene poder para discutir un impeachment hace rato desde que Trump desplegó sus tropas, pero solo recién empezaron en hablar por twitter después que todo está hecho.
Independiente del lado político, los gringos son todos unas mierdas que fingen que se importan con el imperialismo que ejerce sus gobiernos pero siguen disfrutando de los logros.
Estados Unidos otra vez acabando con la paz mundial y estabilidad de naciones.
Hasta en el #opensource tenemos que estar pendientes de la opinión de los seres de luz estes como brújula de lo que es cierto o no en el momento de contribuir con código abierto. Todo tiene que estar basado allá y incluso si quieres donar.
Para que vea un ejemplo claro es como todo que tiene que ver con resolución de pantallas, las resoluciones bajo 1080p son ignoradas por los proyectos ya que "quien usa resoluciones menores?". Es el pensamiento promedio de esa gente que vive su privilegio.
Big Market statt Big Tech!
Die USA haben ihre Tech-Monopolisten. China hat seine massive staatliche Förderung. Beides ist nicht das, was wir in Europa unter einer funktionierenden Marktwirtschaft für digitale Dienstleistungen verstehen. Wir müssen unseren eigenen Weg gehen.
