The rapid response networks people organized to defend their communities against federal agents seeking to kidnap, brutalize, and terrorize them have undergone a whirlwind evolution to keep up with ever-shifting Immigration and Customs Enforcement tactics. Over the past month and a half of occupation, volunteers in the Twin Cities have continuously updated their rapid response model, arriving at a dynamic and resilient system. In the following...
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."

Il techbro Jack Dorsey rastrella finanziamenti dai fondi di investimento, rilascia una app ciofeca e si fa fare l'assessment da programmatori indipendenti di buona volontà
Nel weekend Dorsey ha lanciato #Bitchat, un'app di chat open source, che ha promesso sarà "sicura" e "privata". Ma poi ecco un avviso: "l'app non è stata testata o esaminata per problemi di sicurezza: non fidatevi!" 🤣
Gli esperti di sicurezza stanno già trovando delle falle.
Sounds like Bitchat was truly vibe coded and the key system in place was just not doing anything.
There’s a future to mesh and decentralized messaging protocol. But you can’t vibe code that shit.
