I’ve never heard of AtlasOS until this comment. I read the documentation and it’s interesting that they need you to install it using a fresh Windows ISO. I wonder what they are doing that can’t be accomplished on an existing Windows installation with a bunch of Powershell scripts?

Beeper has been working in this space for awhile - there’s no way they would publish an app with a copyright violation. I assume they have a workaround for that aspect.

It looks like Beeper has purchased the software from the person who developed this, but his GitHub repo for it is still up.

He has also created a way to permanently side load apps on iPhone without jailbreaking. I imagine Apple will be working on both of these “problems”.

Interesting. I just checked and found the information. It sounds like they want to rebuild the whole app and just add one service at a time. They are starting with just iMessage.

Edit: I wonder how long this will last. They aren’t using a Mac to log you into your iCloud account with this. They have found a workaround.

“This is now possible because the iMessage protocol and encryption have been reverse engineered by jjtech, a security researcher.”

Edit 2: I’m really curious about this. The researcher has some Python that can run anywhere and let you send iMessages. It seems like something the Apple would shutdown, but, on the other hand, I wouldn’t expect Beeper to introduce an app that might get disabled.

I’m confused about this article because I have Beeper, but they make this statement:

“Beeper Mini is a new app from the folks behind Beeper, a unified chatting and inbox app that brings together the best chat apps under one roof.”

I haven’t heard about a mini version.

I can. I just was more interested in learning about a new package manager, rather than the main topic of the post.

It talks about installing with nix package manager. I’ve never heard of this one. Can anyone comment on how well nix would work foru Ubuntu installations? It sounds like it installs some daemon, which I haven’t heard before from a package manager.

Quick Change. It’s full of big stars (Bill Murray, Randy Quaid, Geena Davis, Jason Roberts) but I never hear people talk about it. I find it pretty funny.

Is it encrypted while in transit between servers?

I expect this post in a couple days: “How do I remove a paper towel that is frozen to my bottle of wine?”
