Update: it may be limited to those using a hackintosh in conjunction with beeperserv (the jailbreak tweak). Still kind of lousy of them to lock the reddit topic though…

Several users recently reported that after using pypush—the tool that Beeper paid $25,000 for in order to build Beeper Mini—Apple banned their genuine Apple hardware devices from accessing iMessage.

When their comments were shared to the r/Beeper subreddit, one of the mods whom Beeper appointed decided to lock the comments, citing the “need to investigate this further” and directing concerned users to “reach out to support through the appropriate channels.”

Repeat after me:

I will embrace the power of Open Source and actively seek out and support technologies that align with my values. I will educate myself and others about the importance of privacy, data security, and ethical practices in the tech world. I understand that my choices as a consumer have a direct impact on the market and the direction in which technology evolves. I will prioritize products and services that are transparent, respect user rights, and contribute positively to society.

I will also advocate for a culture of innovation where success is not just measured by profit, but by positive contributions to society and adherence to ethical standards. I will encourage and participate in conversations about the future of technology, ensuring that voices calling for change are heard and amplified.

I commit to being part of the solution, not just a critic of the problem. I will use my skills, resources, and influence to contribute to a technology ecosystem that is fair, transparent, and respects the dignity and rights of all users. I understand that this is not just a fight against unethical practices in the tech industry, but a movement towards a future where technology truly serves humanity.

I am officially taking a very public stance against Big Tech, and advocating for a radical shift in how we interact with and create technology.

Do you want to join the future of ethical technology with me?

Let's build FOSS technology. Let's embrace ownership. Let's embrace freedom. Let's innovate with integrity, creating tools that empower rather than exploit. Let's prioritize the user, designing for needs rather than profits. Let's champion privacy, safeguarding our data as fiercely as our freedoms. Let's foster collaboration, embracing diverse voices in technology creation. Let's cultivate ethical entrepreneurship, where values drive business models. Let's promote digital literacy, educating ourselves and others on the importance of tech ethics. Let's support small tech innovators, the underdogs challenging the giants. Let's demand transparency, holding companies accountable for their actions. Let's create with purpose, ensuring technology serves the greater good. Let's unite for a tech revolution, where freedom and ownership are paramount.

Together, we can redefine the technology landscape, shaping a future where ethics, empowerment, and innovation coexist. Join me in this journey towards a more ethical, open, and user-centric digital world. Let's be the architects of a new tech era, let's build the future we want to live in.

Let's build Arx.
