An adversarial iMessage client for Android

Adversarial interoperability is one of the most reliable ways to protect tech users from predatory corporations: that's when a technologist reverse-engineers an existing product to reconfigure or mod it (interoperability) in ways its users like, but which its manufacturer objects to (adversarial):

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/10/adversarial-interoperability

"Adversarial interop" is a mouthful, so at EFF, we coined the term "competitive compatibility," or comcom, which is a lot easier to say and to spell.

Scratch any tech success and you'll find a comcom story. After all, when a company turns its screws on its users, it's good business to offer an aftermarket mod that loosens them again. HP's $10,000/gallon inkjet ink is like a bat-signal for third-party ink companies. When Mercedes announces that it's going to sell you access to your car's accelerator pedal as a subscription service, that's like an engraved invitation to clever independent mechanics who'll charge you a single fee to permanently unlock that "feature":

https://www.techdirt.com/2023/12/05/carmakers-push-forward-with-plans-to-make-basic-features-subscription-services-despite-widespread-backlash/

Comcom saved giant tech companies like Apple. Microsoft tried to kill the Mac by rolling out a truly cursèd version of MS Office for MacOS. Mac users (5% of the market) who tried to send Word, Excel or Powerpoint files to Windows users (95% of the market) were stymied: their files wouldn't open, or they'd go corrupt. Tech managers like me started throwing the graphic designer's Mac and replacing it with a Windows box with a big graphics card and Windows versions of Adobe's tools.

Comcom saved Apple's bacon. Apple reverse-engineered MS's flagship software suite and made a comcom version, iWork, whose Pages, Numbers and Keynote could flawlessly read and write MS's Word, Excel and Powerpoint files:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/06/adversarial-interoperability-reviving-elegant-weapon-more-civilized-age-slay

It's tempting to think of iWork as benefiting Apple users, and certainly the people who installed and used it benefited from it. But Windows users also benefited from iWork. The existence of iWork meant that Windows users could seamlessly collaborate on and share files with their Mac colleagues. IWork didn't just add a new feature to the Mac ("read and write files that originated with Windows users") – it also added a feature to Windows: "collaborate with Mac users."

Every pirate wants to be an admiral. Though comcom rescued Apple from a monopolist's sneaky attempt to drive it out of business, Apple – now a three trillion dollar company – has repeatedly attacked comcom when it was applied to Apple's products. When Apple did comcom, that was progress. When someone does comcom to Apple, that's piracy.

Apple has many tools at its disposal that Microsoft lacked in the early 2000s. Radical new interpretations of existing copyright, contract, patent and trademark law allows Apple – and other tech giants – to threaten rivals who engage in comcom with both criminal and civil penalties. That's right, you can go to prison for comcom these days. No wonder Jay Freeman calls this "felony contempt of business model":

Take iMessage, Apple's end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) instant messaging tool. Apple customers can use iMessage to send each other private messages that can't be read or altered by third parties – not cops, not crooks, not even Apple. That's important, because when private messaging systems get hacked, bad things happen:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_celebrity_nude_photo_leak

But Apple has steadfastly refused to offer an iMessage app for non-Apple systems. If you're an Apple customer holding a sensitive discussion with an Android user, Apple refuses to offer you a tool to maintain your privacy. Those messages are sent "in the clear," over the 38-year-old SMS protocol, which is trivial to spy on and disrupt.

Apple sacrifices its users' security and integrity in the hopes that they will put pressure on their friends to move into Apple's walled garden. As CEO Tim Cook told a reporter: if you want to have secure communications with your mother, buy her an iPhone:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tim-cook-says-buy-mom-210347694.html

Last September, a 16-year old high school student calling himself JJTech published a technical teardown of iMessage, showing how any device could send and receive encrypted messages with iMessage users, even without an Apple ID:

https://jjtech.dev/reverse-engineering/imessage-explained/

JJTech even published code to do this, in an open source library called Pypush:

https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush

In the weeks since, Beeper has been working to productize JJTech's code, and this week, they announced Beeper Mini, an Android-based iMessage client that is end-to-end encrypted:

https://beeper.notion.site/How-Beeper-Mini-Works-966cb11019f8444f90baa314d2f43a54

Beeper is known for a multiprotocol chat client built on Matrix, allowing you to manage several kinds of chat from a single app. These multiprotocol chats have been around forever. Indeed, iMessage started out as one – when it was called "iChat," it supported Google Talk and Jabber, another multiprotocol tool. Other tools like Pidgin have kept the flame alive for decades, and have millions of devoted users:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/07/tower-babel-how-public-interest-internet-trying-save-messaging-and-banish-big

But iMessage support has remained elusive. Last month, Nothing launched Sunchoice, a disastrous attempt to bring iMessage to Android, which used Macs in a data-center to intercept and forward messages to Android users, breaking E2EE and introducing massive surveillance risks:

https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/21/23970740/sunbird-imessage-app-shut-down-privacy-nothing-chats-phone-2

Beeper Mini does not have these defects. The system encrypts and decrypts messages on the Android device itself, and directly communicates with Apple's servers. It gathers some telemetry for debugging, and this can be turned off in preferences. It sends a single SMS to Apple's servers during setup, which changes your device's bubble from green to blue, so that Apple users now correctly see your device as a secure endpoint for iMessage communications.

Beeper Mini is now available in Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima&hl=en_US

Now, this is a high-stakes business. Apple has a long history of threatening companies like Beeper over conduct like this. And Google has a long history deferring to those threats – as it did with OG App, a superior third-party Instagram app that it summarily yanked after Meta complained:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/05/battery-vampire/#drained

But while iMessage for Android is good for Android users, it's also very good for Apple customers, who can now get the privacy and security guarantees of iMessage for all their contacts, not just the ones who bought the same kind of phone as they did. The stakes for communications breaches have never been higher, and antitrust scrutiny on Big Tech companies has never been so intense.

Apple recently announced that it would add RCS support to iOS devices (RCS is a secure successor to SMS):

https://9to5mac.com/2023/11/16/apple-rcs-coming-to-iphone/

Early word from developers suggests that this support will have all kinds of boobytraps. That's par for the course with Apple, who love to announce splashy reversals of their worst policies – like their opposition to right to repair – while finding sneaky ways to go on abusing its customers:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/22/vin-locking/#thought-differently

The ball is in Apple's court, and, to a lesser extent, in Google's. As part of the mobile duopoly, Google has joined with Apple in facilitating the removal of comcom tools from its app store. But Google has also spent millions on an ad campaign shaming Apple for exposing its users to privacy risks when talking to Android users:

https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/21/23883609/google-rcs-message-apple-iphone-ipager-ad

While we all wait for the other shoe to drop, Android users can get set up on Beeper Mini, and technologists can kick the tires on its code libraries and privacy guarantees.

highschool Suguru Geto who travels to America with Gojo during highschool for a big mission and while their at some highschool pep rally (they wanted to see if the movies were real) he see’s reader and she’s a total sweetheart and cheerleader and when he talks to her she keeps giggling because he has a very thick accent and he’s not very good at English.

my country bumpkin princess husband with his cutesy silly little accent

and them going to a pep rally LMAO THEY WOULD i'm imagining gojo going in like he's an expert (he's watched like three american hs coming of age films on the flight and now knows everything he could possibly need to know)

keeping in touch with suguru after he leaves :((

and he'd work on his english so he could communicate with you more effectively .hed even get to know the culture better so he gets references you might make

i'm gonna go sit in a corner and cry now .i love him .

~Premise: The jjk first years get into a game of never have I ever~

It started innocently enough, as a way to kill time after being patched up fresh off a particularly battering mission and subsequently sentenced to a day of rest.

Being a little more honest from the painkillers might have helped, but it didn't take long for the whole ordeal to devolve into prodding for all the juicy details on more exciting topics. This is the highlight reel.

CW: illegal activities (it sounds harsher than it is), underage smoking/drinking. Expect a (American) high school level warning ig? iykyk. Special warnings for mentions of terminal illness and questionable decisions during grief.

Fights. Kugisaki: 9 fingers, Fushiguro: 9 fingers, Itadori: 10 fingers.

At being asked if he had been in any fights Fushiguro scoffed. "Of course, we're jujutsu sorcerers." After Kugisaki clarified she meant, like, fights not related to being a sorcerer, he just went "oh," but didn't change his answer.

Despite being well built, enough to probably make it easy for him to dominate any fight (as pointed out by Kugisaki and corroborated by Fushiguro) Itadori hadn't been in any. He argued he had gotten hit a few times pulling others out of them, but Kugusaki quickly shot that down saying it didn't count.

Kugisaki herself, apparently, had a history of starting full on brawls (according to her always because somebody else was talking shit) as far back as first grade when she chopped another girl's pigtail off with a pair of scissors. Honestly, not much has changed. Itadori and Fushiguro both silently agree she's scary.

Drinking. K: 8, F:9, I:9

The only time Kugisaki had been drunk is when she was celebrating being accepted into JJ Tech (and therefor getting to leave her village). She and Fumi had done shots with some old floral liqueurs she liberated from her grandmother's cabinet. She claims the hangover "wasn't that bad," but that she wouldn't recommend it, shooting a pointed look at the boys.

Megumi had never even touched alcohol. The closest he got was when Gojo offered him a sip of wine after he graduated middle school, but he thought it smelled gross, so he declined. Kugusaki laughed at him for that.

"Pussy."

"Shut up."

Yuji had gotten absolutely plastered off some vodka when he was 11. In his defense it had been left out and he thought it was just, "weirdly spicy water."

*snort* "geez, you ARE dense."

"Hey!"

When his grandpa had been diagnosed Yuji confiscated his booze so he could take the proper tests and all. Whenever Yuji noticed his grandpa had smuggled some, he would take a swig before dumping the bottle. "I didn't want it to all go to waste," he justified sheepishly, scratching at the back of his neck. Nobody laughed at that.

Thievery. K: 7, F: 9, I: 8

Yuji stole a toy truck once when he was little kid. But he ended up feeling really guilty (especially after his grandpa chewed him out for it). So they went back and he returned it apologizing profusely in between little hiccups. This prompted a fond "d'awwww," from Kugisaki and Fushiguro chuckled a little.

Kugisaki said she had definitely nicked a few small things in her youth, mostly cosmetics, but it lost its appeal pretty quick. She thinks she still has one of the nail polishes.

Fushiguro claimed he hadn't stolen anything, but, after a pause, revealed that sometimes his shikigami, just, show up with stuff. And he doesn't know where it comes from, not that he can exactly ask. That's actually how he's gotten every single tennis ball he has for the dogs. But, according to him, Nue is the worst offender (at this point he was getting irritated). Once, after he had only recently tamed it, it brought back a shiny hairpin with auburn hair still in it. He ended up spending the better part of half an hour distressed, trying to figure out if and how he should return it. (He gave up because the whole ordeal was absurd, and he had wasted enough time that they were probably gone anyway.)

There was pause, then they all devolved into giggles. Itadori clutching his stomach and kicking his feet cus "oooooh damn, that's so funny!" and "ah geez I wondered where they kept getting those balls from."

"Itadori I told you they are not pets!" with all the bite taken out from trying to suppress his own laughter.

"Who would have thought the most uptight one of us would have the longest record, you're a criminal!"

"Hey! But you're the one who actually stole stuff." Kugisaki feigns a offended gasp.

"What color was it anyway?"

"Eh? Orange, I think? Why? You want me to paint your nails?"

"Sure, so I can have the proper colors on next time we take a walk down into town with Fushiguro's dogs."

"Oi, they don't steal stuff every time!"

"But you admit they do steal stuff!"

Thievery. K: 7, F: 9 8, I: 8

Smoking. K: 7, F: 8, I: 7

Neither Kugisaki or Fushiguro have smoked, though Fushiguro was offered a cigarette once by "some fucking idiot."

Yuji, weirdly enough, had not only smoked before, but had done so multiple times. "My Gramps used to be a regular at this bar with a bunch of old-fashioned slot games. And sometimes I would tag along to watch him. One of the regulars there offered me a cigarette, but I couldn't finish it. I think it took me 2? 3? tries using my grandpa's before I managed? I remember being so proud of myself when I went back and they offered again and I completed it. But then he, ah, stopped going as much, 'cus, I mean we didn't know it at the time, but he was getting sicker, and he didn't really wanna go out as much and stuff..." and then, quieter, "When he got admitted, I smoked the rest of the pack in probably a week? I don't know, it was a weird week. But when I got down to the last one, I couldn't light it. I guess I realized that if he came back, he wouldn't have any left and that made me feel guilty, so, I didn't. I don't know, is that stupid?"

"geez dude" Kugisaki and Fushiguro exchanged glances and she leaned down a little, "no, I don't think that's stupid."

"Ah, sorry! I didn't mean to bring the mood down."

"You mentioned slot machines, does this mean you've gambled too?"

"Fushiguro!"

Gambling. K: 7, F: 8, I: 6

Itadori had. "I probably inherited the itch from my grandpa. Good thing I didn't inherit his rotten luck!" (he laughed).

Fushiguro and Kugisaki hadn't gambled in the way the Itadori had. But Kugisaki had made plenty of friendly wagers for both favors and cash. She promised (threatened) to drag Fushiguro into them sometime.

Kissing. K: 6, F: 7, I: 6

"So, have you ever kissed anyone?"

Kugisaki and Itadori both deny it, but Fushiguro, completely unexpectedly, answers yes.

He had made out with people out of curiosity in his last year of middle school but had stopped because he got uncomfortable with some of the groping. Apparently none of it "really meant anything," to him though.

"Well, I that case I wasn't being completely honest," Kugisaki pipes up. When she and Fumi had been celebrating, she had joked offhand that the only thing that could make this better is if she'd had her first kiss by now, to tell Saori about, or something along those lines. And, well, Fumi had kissed her. "But it was just a peck and we were drunk and I'm not sure if she even remembers," so she doesn't count it as anything.

"You kissed a girl?"

"...yeah."

"What was it like?"

"It was just a brush of the lips-"

"Yeah, but, c'mon. Give us something."

"Sweet. There, happy?"

Itadori falls back, "Ah damn, now I feel lame. How come you've both got to kiss girls before me?" (Fushiguro remains silent.)

"Well what's stopping you?"

"I'm not gonna kiss somebody just 'cus! No offense Fushiguro. I want the first time to be special ya know? Like, with The One and all that." Fushiguro groans and Kugisaki raises an eyebrow at him.

"OMG that is sooooo cheesy. I didn't know you were a romantic~"

"Are you making fun of me right now?"

"What? Noooo! Of course not."

"I think its perfectly fine," Fushiguro offers and Kugisaki notices his face is a little-

Oh —so thats how it is—

"Don't worry Itadori, I'm sure you'll be able to kiss someone eventually," she says aiming a wink at Fushiguro who's ears turned bright red.

[numelfanclub]

did i ever post this??

I DIDN'T WAIT

ok so i made an au and stuff where suguru's alive but like it took a massive toll on his physical body so his right upper side is a tad weaker and heavily scarred but he's alive and stuff >_< i have more drawings hold up

honestly i'm kinda scared to post these here but RAGHH ok have fun teehee

[saaraofthesand]

I’m actually going to kill myself trying to extend canon for nanako and mimiko’s cursed techniques. I finally remember why I abandoned this story 2 years ago. akutami has made it IMPOSSIBLE to build off his world gahhhhh

[burgerwizardggg]

Part 1 of a little comic thingy I made instead of revising,, I go crazy thinking about them and the bleak future they had before geto had even left jjtech🥲jujutsu sorcerers really do just expect to work til theyre killed on the field and having this weight on their minds at the tender age of 18 sighhhhhhhhhh. Can you blame geto for choosing to kill the people responsible for the existence of curses instead of just watching while the people around him drop like flies before they make it to their 30s. They make me so sad they're so tragic oh my god

Part 2

[kalofi]

happy pride month here’s my contribution of trans nanami who didn’t transition until after he left jjtech and so when he comes back a brick shithouse it throws everyone for a loop. the group chat and i have dubbed this pre-t version of him nananiña. naniña for short

[crustyfroglord]

Do y’all think Suguru used one of his more gentle curses to kill his parents? Maybe it happened as he held his mother for the last time, hugging her and telling her thank you for everything.

They can’t see them so maybe they didn’t even know what was happening to them until they were already gone.

Do you think he ate a meal with them first? Let his mother feed him one last time? Helped his father with chores before the end?

Do you think he almost didn’t go through with it? Like maybe his finger hovered over the call button, Gojo’s number primed so he could beg his friend to come help him?

In the end, it was the count of his pulse as he stared at Gojo’s name that finally talked him into going through with it? After all that’s who all this was for, the boy who wore the skin of the strongest but who Geto had seen in his most vulnerable moments. Those times when Gojo maybe got a little too drunk and cried to him about not wanting the burden of being the strongest anymore(that’s now why Gojo doesn’t drink anymore). It certainly wasn’t for town or the people who didn’t understand him or give him grace, not even his parents who loved him but didn’t know how to deal with him.

No, Suguru wanted to change the world so it wouldn’t need someone to be the strongest anymore. So Satoru didn’t have to be the strongest anymore. So that all those people, the ones like him at school that were wonderful and strong and kind, didn’t have to be strong anymore. They could just be.

To do that, to be that for them, he had to kill the parts of himself that had lived before. His parents couldn’t live because then there would be a piece of who he was before JJTech that still existed. Pieces of him that still remembered what of was like before he had seen his gruesome the world with curses in it could be.

[nosferatuix]

Oh my god I love all of your thoughts about Geto and Atsushi Sakurai ahhh. Geto's parents must have been so happy and relieved when he went off to that "religious school" and was the happiest they'd ever heard from him. Do you think he brought his friends home to meet them.

(edit: I AM JUST NOW NOTICING I FORGOT TO POST THIS AND HAVE BEEN KEEPING THIS IN MY DRAFTS FOR GOD KNOW HOW LONG. I'M SO SORRY ANON. I SERIOUSLY HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS HAPPENED.)

yeeees i totally think he did! it's canon now that he was excited to come to jjtech and even called his mom while unpacking, so i definitely see him telling her about the friends he's made. and i hc him as someone from a farming-dominated countryside city, maybe somewhere like ibaraki, so i think once he heard satoru expressing interest in wanting to see the countryside and all that natural jazz & shoko reluctantly backing him up by saying something about never getting to have a break from the crowds of the city, he probably planned out a weekend getaway to take his friends to his hometown. i used to think this was just a sashisu trip, but seeing the new hidden inventory movie pics, specifically the one where they're all sat around a table in what looks like somebody's dining room, hainana might've been included as well.

but nevertheless, there are countless pictures of this Weekend at Geto's. pictures of satoru chasing after & holding chickens up in his hands with the stupidest brightest smile ever on his face and one of suguru's mom's wide hats on his head to protect him from the sun, shoko helping suguru's dad out with the saplings and cleaning out the harmful weeds from fields, suguru running after the both of them with a bottle of sunscreen at hand because he doesn't want to deal with their whining about possible sunburns, suguru pointing his finger and laughing at satoru for taking a wrong step and accidentally sinking down to one of his knees in the mud, then shoko pushing suguru towards satoru so they're both in the said mud and laughing her ass off at the scenery at hand. a game of mahjong continuing late into the night, them circling the dining table with suguru's mom and dad being extremely competitive at the game and absolutely demolishing the three kids. his mom walking stsk through suguru's baby pictures as he flushes into a deep cherry red in the face because they make fun of fat babyguru in ways that his mother wouldn't even realize are jokes because their insults are separated from jokes by such a thin veil that not even suguru can tell whether or not they actually find him cute lol what a bunch of assholes

i have a feeling that some part of them grieved suguru's parents just as much as they grieved suguru

[astrowaffles]

I see a lot about stsg/ifsh parallels but not enough about how it translates into the individual actions of the mirrored characters.

Megumi and Gojo are parallels.

Gojo's first truly rebellious act, his first true selfish and emotional choice, was to save Geto from death by letting Geto go. He allows him to leave Jujutsu society, and JJTech, and to become a curse user.

Megumi's first truly rebellious and selfish act was to bring Yuji in. He chooses to save Itadori from death by making him a sorcerer and refusing to let him fall into curse using.

This first decision to save Yuji by keeping him close rather than allowing him to walk away was the first step towards breaking free of stsg's doomed patterns - and the best part is, Gojo also played a major role in breaking this first "generational curse" (one of his own creation).

fire drill

while the guys of JJTECH and members of group b were in night classes a fire seemed to happen causing evacuation of the entire university! yn, maki, and nobara were busy streaming a new haul when the sirens began and the noise didn’t fail at startling the three. not having time to shut the stream off nobara gathered as many belongs as she could while maki and yn tried to get the girl to leave the building. soon enough after not being outside for a long period of time megumi sent firefighters to makis dorm (where the three were streaming) to retrieve the girls.

sad itadori! i have to stop making him so miserable but things like that would only happen to him! also poor yn busting her ass on stream lollll. this is only part 1 of chapter one. thanks for reading!

ehh nah OR continue!

[jean47mclean]

I have not been able to focus on studying at all but since I'm here I just need to get this off my mind

You know how there are a bunch of spy AUs where like Character A goes in and tries to build a relationship with Character B in order to get information on them and then possibly kill them? But then Character A learns more about themselves and the world and then doesn't want to leave or sell them out?

Well I was thinking what if there was a non-shipping version where Zen'in Megumi is supposed to go to JJTech Tokyo instead of Kyoto in order to get information on the elusive Six Eyes user by acting as an incompetent student or something I dunno

But then along the way Megumi learns about found family, what it means to care for other people instead of hold everyone at arm's length, learns how to use his ability outside the strict rules the clan places on him, and what it means to have teammates.

I think Gojo would just slide into this weird parental role very naturally because it would be very similar to canon dynamics between the two anyways

That's all I have for now may expand may not I really need to study now omgs

[averinna]

KHR really spoiled me when it come to charasong. I would beg for charasong of the JJK characters:

_ Sukuna's cover of Special Z

_ Yuuji, Megumi, Nobara and Gojo cover of Lost in Paradise

_ Gojo's cover of Ao no Sumika

_ Geto's cover of Akari

_ Inumaki's charasong entirely with food and you realize that it's actually a recipe

_ Yuuji trying to get Megumi to sing at a karaoke

_ Maki and Mai doomed sibling duet

_ Uraume's charasong about how to cook human's meat

_ Todo Choso and Yuuji song about the importance of brotherhood (Choso and Todo keep interrupting each other)

_ Nobara and Maki duet about their date in that one phantom parade cg

_ Shoko's song about how she lived her high school days post Geto departure

_ Riko's song about her daily life while being aware that she's a sacrifice and it slip through the lyrics or music sometime

_ Close to her, Yuki's song about how she was a star plasma too and how she's aware of most of the stuff that happen in jjtech

_ Nanami's song that is utterly depressing where he's not actually telling straight up his situation but when you know the context you want to cry

_ Nobara's song about how better she is now that she live at Tokyo but still miss Fumi and Saori sometime

_ Kokichi and how he live through a screen

Ok it became hcs more than anything lol

[cyber-phobia]

i would love to know more abt itadori kaho if you feel like sharing more , he sounds v interesting !

Kaho's story is also a bit of a JJK rewrite because I love the curses and how complex they are and wanted to give em more attention. Which is why Kaho ends up getting nabbed by Mahito during the Kyoto exchange with the Death Paintings!!

(There was a version where Kaho was a JJTech, but it wasn't very interesting since I'd made Gojo a bit of a bastard.)

Kenjaku is pleasantly surprised that the child that they thought was definitely dead has evidently survived all this time, and with a technique similar to their own! Old habits die hard and they can't help but test if Kaho really has their technique with a spare body....

Kaho finally gets some autonomy!! at the cost of knowing they are in a body not their own....

but!!! im quite fond of the Death Paintings, so they don't die :)

[suguruuur]

If Gojo had a house instead of sleeping at the jjtech, what would it be like? 🤔

[waraningyo]

seeing how dingy and impersonal the JJtech dorm rooms look, nobody can tell me that nobara hasn’t at least tried to spruce hers up — tried to make it hers a bit bc can u imagine spending 4 years living as a ward of JJtech and the space you’re living in just looks as if you were only meant to exist in it + nothing else??? like, admittedly she won’t overdo it with the styling n personalization bc it won’t hold a candle to her having her own space, but still.
