I’ll do one better, I’ve been a beeper (not beeper mini) beta tester for a while, and I’ve had uninterrupted imessage access through their older method which never had a single outage!

I imagine though they have been using a method like spinning up virtual mac machines or matrix bridge to get it to work.

either way it is by far my favorite messaging app, I’m so damn tired of all these companies walling their messaging service into some enclosed garden while everyone I know decides that THEIR favorite app is the one everyone should be using.

Thief, the dark project + my brand new EAX 4 speaker surround system… hoooly shit

hardware / software hacker living in china (shenzen) has a great youtube channel and lots of other socials that advocate for open source hardware, builds cool shit, breaks shit in cool ways. just as willing to hack at her own body for fun and personal interest. uses her look to both be disarming / educate folks; her motto is “if I can do it, anyone can do it”

some extras: from being a subscriber to her youtube channel and a fan for many years now, she is indeed hyper capable / knowledgable, has some views that wouldnt be considered conventional by various western queer types but come from an honest experience living as a queer person in non western systems. she has also been more bitter about treatment by western media and other folks who assume their preconceptions are more valid than her lived experience, something I am personally familiar with being from a slightly controvercial country myself.

oh, but you DO want to be pedantic.

very much. (to be a bit too pedantic here)
