Every app has to have fucking AI now for some reason.

      I mostly use it to make international calls cause sometimes the country my folks are living in shuts down the cellular internet for some reason when major exams/riots are happening and whatsapp stops working.

      Imaging telling a whole nation of people they can’t use internet on their 500+ dollar phone. The fuck did they buy them for, playing temple run?

        Btw you can suggest them the Briar messenger app. It can send messages via nearby peoples phones if they also have Briar. So if enough people installed it, a city could have it’s own messaging network even when the official one is down

          Nice, I don’t think I’ll be able to convince the whole city to install it though :-)

          Those “briar clients” still use the “same” internet…

          It could work if clients/nodes would exchange data using other channel (lora/bluetooth/etc)

            That’s exactly what it does
