So it appears that someone tried to phish me on #librea.. Yeah, guess they don't know who I am, but that's okay :)

One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger #Apps.
My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal ¹, #Telegram, #Discord ², #WhatsApp ³, #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside:
WHY is there no #CrossProvider #Messenger to handle that shite?
WHY does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated #WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU each of them can??
This problem ain't new and already got solved for corporate social media ages ago! (Not to mention actually good messengers!)
I mean API 0
- style access because obviously none of the platforms will allow, endorse or support such an endeavour and actively fight the developers and users !
So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim / #Gajim or @pidgin / #Pidgin for garbage platforms!
Tein paluun irciin ja päädyin paikalliselle kaupunkikanavalle paasaamaan pyöräilystä. Mut se oli sen toisen syy, se aloitti! Kysyi mielipidettäni bussien runkolinjauudistuksesta, johon mulla ei ollut mitään sanottavaa, koska pyöräilen kaikkialle. Siitä se sit lähti.
Sori siitä.
No ei oikeastaan.
(Nyt odotan että mut stalkataan sieltä tänne, ja jommassakummassa asiasta auotaan.)
Vous avez envie de #discussions saines, entre amis ou autour d'un projet ?

#irc #tchat
I couldn't figure out how to add my #matrix account to the Chats app, so that's why I fell back to using #irc
That said, I'm surprised the #gnome weather app worked... because it doesn't on normal #alpinelinux o_O.
I'll try to add my calendar and contacts later and see if I can make an actual phone call... crazy stuff :}
Updating from my #alpinelinux laptop... because typing on the #postmarketos #gnome shell is really challenging/unforgiving both in terms of latency and accuracy.
I was not a fan of #firefox, especially with the bottom address bar, so I used console to install #epiphany via:
$ doas apk add epiphany
Not only does epiphany look better on the phone, but it also allows me to install web apps, which I did for #thelounge, a web-based #irc client.
Does anyone have an #accessible #irc #client for #WindowsXP? Discord, as you can imagine, is proving rather difficult to use, so I'd like to use IRC instead for the communities I'm a part of that have both. Thanks in advance!
@sacha hey, I'm having @damaru on the #lispyGopherClimate tomorrow (and @eduardoochs is going to hang out live in #emacsconf on #irc) -
I was just wondering if you had anything you would like to see an early-emacs-days #writer do with #emacs in our community particularly (noting your https://sachachua.com/topic/#topic-index-emacs-and-writing ).
Sorry, gef, for volunteering you for lab experiments ;p
Honestly my goal is to see whether #eev anchors work for his flow, and whether it's-possible to use my own 'easy' graph stuff.
OK nerds, what's the best #IRC client on #Linux these days?
I'm interested in both TUI and GUI clients, but they are in separate categories and I will probably use both in different situations.
Do we care about #IRCv3? This seems like a decent overview of clients: https://www.ilmarilauhakangas.fi/irc_technology_news_from_the_second_half_of_2024/
1/3 - @internetarchive I miss being a kid on mIRC. Before what most people today classify as social media, before ICQ, MSN Messenger, FrontPage 98, StarCraft, RuneScape, Napster, BitTorrent, or Stack Overflow. I was a kid fresh out of BBS discovering the “Information Superhighway” on a dial-up connection.
@micahflee good Idea, tho I'd use #XMPP+#OMEMO or #PGP/MIME for the former and #IRC for the latter ...
Je vous propose sérieusement d’organiser une campagne sur TikTok pour promouvoir LinMo.
Si vous voulez qu’on se rencontre sur #IRC répondez à ce post, ou envoyez-moi un MP, je vous recontacterai et on se créera un salon pour en discuter à plusieurs.
(J’ai déjà eu une discussion sur le développement d’une application de rencontres LGBT prévue pour limiter les risques de takeover/fuites de données, on n’a rien fait après mais on a passé un bon moment.)
Local Timeline...
@intransitivelie I'm with you on that. Just seems to me to be a worse-than-IRC closed version of #IRC... why?
Wenn ich manche Konversationen hier so lese, fühl ich mich immer wieder an meine Zeiten im #IRC erinnert. Echte Unterhaltungen, freundliche Menschen, echte Diskussionen....
Ich freue mich sehr hier zu sein im #Fediverse
Möge es lange so bleiben.
Danke euch, dass ihr da seid.
You ever heard of the fake "artist commune" that was really a concentration camp run by the Nazis to present a humane and caring face to the world?
The International Red Cross inspected it and thought it good.
When you see prisoners being given food and water in staged photo-shoots don't be fooled like the #IRC was.
@bassistance Look what I have just found https://bashforever.com/ #Bash #IRC
Had an issue with a piece of software after an update. Went online, searched for 30 minutes, found nothing useful or relevant.
Spent 20 minutes wrestling with it myself, seeing if I could fix it.
Gave up, went on #IRC and got a workaround to my problem in literally 3 minutes (and an hour later, an update to the software package to fix it properly).
IRC proving to me, yet again, that it continues to rock.
Thank you for the support, random stranger.
@jospoortvliet explains the advantages of #IRC and #NFS for communication and sharing files at the @nextcloud #NextCloudSummit25
He then proceeds to explain why #NextCloudTalk is a good latest step in the evolution of collaboration.
