Is this bit-chat or bitch-at?

    It depends on whom you’re talking to

    Sounds like a suitable addition to the ATProto ecosystem :)

      It's explicitly in opposition to ATProto. That's probably why they went with Radicle and not Tangled

    Or a misspelling of bitch hat

      Have you ever heard of the rather excellent Pen Island, vendors of fine pens? On my work computer, so you can plumb the internet archive for yourself.

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

    One seems to be built on top of the other? Very confusing though, I agree.

    • IshKebab 21 minutes ago

      I think radicle.dev is the software that lets you store issues and PRs inside a Git repo, and radicle.network is some kind of interface to people's hosts that run the Radicle software. Something like that?

      I agree it's super confusing though and their explanation isn't exactly clear:

    I'm pretty sure that's the same project.

    I assumed they are the same :-O

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.

  • culi 35 minutes ago

    Probably on purpose. Like "Broken, But Whole"

    It could be deliberate. Like Wechat's Chinese name is "Weixin", which is a pun on "for sex" in Mandarin (for which its "people nearby" feature originally saw heavy usage). As a decentralized social network, Bitchat might see similar usage.

Is this irc compatible?

  • embedding-shape 1 hour ago

    Everything is pointing towards a hard "no", but I didn't dig deeper than literally read the first sentence in the README:

    > A decentralized peer-to-peer messaging app with dual transport architecture: local Bluetooth mesh networks for offline communication and internet-based Nostr protocol for global reach. No accounts, no phone numbers, no central servers. It's the side-groupchat.

  • culi 33 minutes ago

    How would it be? Bitchat is for offline communication over Bluetooth Low Energy networks

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.
