If you're wondering what Twitter founder Jack Dorsey has been up to after founding Bluesky, he's actually been working on a project to offer offline communication through Bluetooth patterns. On X this week, he announced Bitchat, a Bluetooth mesh chat app. With a TestFlight beta currently underway, he said the app is in review to be published in the App Store. What makes this app unique is giving users the ability to securely converse using Bluetooth connectivity, which means you don't need to worry about having a cell signal. As long as you're around 300 meters from someone, you can communicate. These are the main features of Bitchat in its current state: Offline Communication: Works without internet thank to Bluetooth mesh networking E2E Encryption: All messages are encrypted with Curve25519 + AES-GCM Extended Range: Message peers reaching 300m+ of distance Favorites System: You can store-and-forward messages for favorites indefinitely Mentions: Use @nickname to notify specific users Rooms: It's possible to create #rooms for topic-based conversations Password Rooms: Secure rooms with passwords and AES encryption. Dorsey also revealed the app's privacy features. Notably, Bitchat doesn't collect data -- it creates a new ID each session, and you can triple tap the Bitchat logo to instantly clear all data. https://twitter.com/jack/status/1942402456933061103 While this doesn't appear to be the reason that Dorsey created the app, I genuinely believe that this will be best way to chat with friends and family members on a plane or other places where you don't have a good cellular connection. After all, sometimes you just want to share something quickly without texting, and none of the current messaging apps can accomplish that for me. As a result, iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, and other standard chat apps aren't always the best bet.

Washington, D.C. — In a dazzling display of cognitive dissonance, a group of Republican lawmakers, pundits, and conspiracy hobbyists gathered this weekend on the National Mall to protest what they called the “wrongful conviction” of Ghislaine Maxwell — the British socialite sentenced in 2022 for trafficking minors to, as official records would suggest, literally no one. The rally, titled “Free Ghislaine: If There’s No List, There’s No Crime”, drew several hundred attendees waving flags adorned with Maxwell’s face superimposed over the Statue of Liberty and holding signs reading “Justice for Epstein’s Business Partner” and “Stop the Deep State Frame Job.” Leading the charge was Rep. Clayden Rawls (R-TX), who took the stage to raucous applause. “You can’t tell me a woman gets convicted for trafficking underage girls without a single customer in sight,” Rawls bellowed. “Who was buying? Who was on the list? And why won’t they tell us?” Rawls, and several speakers who followed, seemed willfully forgetful of one inconvenient detail: the Trump-era Department of Justice already addressed this — repeatedly. In a 2020 press conference, then-Attorney General William Barr solemnly assured the public that Jeffrey Epstein “most definitely killed himself” in a high-security Manhattan prison cell, and that no client list existed because Epstein, quote, “didn’t have any clients.” A follow-up memo from the DOJ warned Americans to “stop asking about it.” Tucker Carlson 2.0, who resurfaced recently after a brief gig as Belarus’ Minister of Vibes, also addressed the crowd. “Folks, this is classic Deep State gaslighting,” Carlson growled. “They tell you Epstein killed himself. They tell you there’s no list. They tell you to stop asking. Well, I don’t take orders from some government agency with an eagle logo. I get my truth from grainy screenshots on Telegram.” The crowd cheered wildly as Carlson led them in a chant of “WHERE’S THE LIST? WHERE’S THE LIST?”, briefly pausing only when a megaphone-wielding organizer reminded them that, according to their own party’s DOJ, the list officially doesn’t exist. Even the RNC seemed caught off-guard by the rally’s existence, releasing a hasty statement clarifying: “While we remain committed to government transparency and accountability, we also officially recognize the findings of the Trump administration’s Department of Justice regarding the Epstein case and urge Americans to focus on the real issues — like Hunter Biden’s laptop.” For her part, Ghislaine Maxwell was reportedly “perplexed” by the sudden groundswell of support. In a statement from prison, she said, “I’ve never been a Republican, but I suppose it’s nice to be remembered.” The post BREAKING: Republicans Hold ‘Free Ghislaine’ Rally, Demand Justice for Woman Convicted of Trafficking Minors to Absolutely No One appeared first on Genesius Times.
