Mike @mmasnick: " #Jack sort of vibe-coded over a weekend, I guess, a #mesh network system called #BitChat. I didn't realize it used #Nostr under the hood…"
@rabble: "It uses #Bluetooth as the primary messaging thing of discovering people. I'm a bit involved with it… We now know through looking at the App Store stuff for BitChat… we can see when a country is having a crisis because all of a sudden the BitChat installs spike up.
…today we were on a call where we were like, "What's going on in #Brazil?" Huh? Because two or three days ago, the installs spiked up and Brazil became the number one country for BitChat."

Air India AI-171 crash: "Aircraft health data that had been transmitted via ACARS by VT-ANB about 15 minutes prior to the crash, indicated faults in the electrical system as well as in all Flight Control Modules (FCM). However, the flight crew never became aware of these faults or transmissions and therefore continued with the takeoff."
Whistleblower report. P100 Primary Power Panel caught fire repeatedly …

Brazil’s Supreme Court jailed ex-president Bolsonaro for plotting a coup — then upgraded his cell. The court may be defending its own power as much as defending democracy.

@everton137 Agree to a certain point.
The Iranian activists and contacts use twitter. Yes, they could move, but they have bigger problems. How else do we hear from them?
About Europeans, Americans, and Brazilians, politicians and journalists specially, I agree.
@pait I hear you. Still, at some point, we must ask ourselves if "staying informed" has become a passive consumption of horror optimized for engagement rather than change.
For politicians and journalists in Europe, the US, or Brazil, staying on the platform feels less like a necessity and more like a convenience.

Latin America’s political mood is moving right as voters punish governments that fail to deliver, but local contexts and individual leaders shape how this trend plays out. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/09/world/year-of-the-right-looms-for-latin-america/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #latinamerica #joseantoniokast #javiermilei #nicolasmaduro #donaldtrump #nayibbukele #gustavopetro #luizinacioluladasilva #sebastianpinera #claudiasheinbaum #chile #argentina #venezuela #elsalvador #ecuador #honduras #costarica #peru #colombia #brazil #mexico

BTW we usually set post location to #Chapecó even though it's actually more than 100km (60mi) away, because nothing closer seems available, unfortunately.
I wonder where #Pixelfed looks for location data. 🤔

![Seen from behind inside the apartment, a grey and white cat sits on a crocheted rug on a cube-shaped ottoman, looking out through a retractable screen fitted in the glass door that leads to a balcony. Outside, the rooftops of buildings are visible under a clear blue sky. An external air conditioning unit is installed on a side wall of the balcony.
