How Beeper Mini Works
ah didn't realize it had gone away. its successor appears to be [0]
now I'm reliving the chaos of the late-00s/early-10s instant messaging apocalypse when AOL sunsetted AIM. Clients like Trillian were absolutely necessary before AIM shut down. Everybuddy was a good linux-friendly client. When I still spent time on IRC, I really really liked Bitlbee [1] with ERC [2].
(I'm not saying that there's a connection there, but rather that all the chat protocols started getting used less around the same time for the same reason, which was smartphones becoming commonplace in late-00s.)

Is/are there any FOSS Discord Client for Android?
I use purple-discord (libpurple/Pidgin plugin) + BItlBee (IRC chat gateway, libpurple variant) + Quassel (distribued IRC client, like a bouncer) on a home server, and use Quasseldroid to connect on mobile. I would eventually like to simplify this setup.

The first beta of Slidge (XMPP bridges) is out
I used to have a similar setup to use IRC for everything using https://www.bitlbee.org. Fun times!

Screenshot: twittering-mode
Another approach to this is to use bitlbee's twitter support and your favorite Emacs IRC client to access that. This is especially nice if you are using bitlbee anyway.

Does anyone know where the source code for Beeper Cloud's iMessage bridge is?
It’s written in Go and hasn’t been opened yet but it’s heavily based around this project: https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush

Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access after launch of service that brought iMessage to Android | TechCrunch
neither this nor search is very much a hard problem as it’s been solved many times over already. The harder part is that beeper never reverse engineered anything, they bought the POC from a high school kid that did it as a project: https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush meaning they never had the ability to do it in the first place

Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access
This should have been obvious to anyone who saw the code where it simply contained the raw literal string `FAIRPLAY_PRIVATE_KEY = b64decode(“…”)`. I suppose now we’ll see how accurate the commenter’s claim “if this becomes a problem, I know how to generate new keys” is.

The discord

- Beeper got a C&D according to an insider
- Apple to Android after 10+ years

Beeper Mini is an interesting alternative to AirMessage
Beeper open-sourced their reverse engineering effort, which means that there will now be a significant ongoing community effort to maintain the solution. It would be very difficult to stop the Beeper solution from working without also breaking iMessage clients running on older versions of MacOS or iOS. Apple may be able to keep new iMessage features locked up, but it would probably only be a matter of time before the community manages to reverse engineer those features, as well.
