I was just looking into Adium for Mac again (because I was bored?). It hasn’t seen significant development in 8 years. The last update was 4 years ago. It was my favorite multi-protocol IM app based on Pidgin’s LibPurple. Anyway, beyond being a one-stop location for my chats, I was able to keep logs of my chats. Was perusing them and came across a contact I stopped communicating with over 15 years ago. I was weirdly lonely and asked a lot of inane questions then (I guess it seems more extreme when you compress conversations that took place over the course of 3 years into 30 minutes).

It’s a little wild to see what folks are up to after decades since regular contact. People still do things when you’re not around to observe them. People don’t need to see things for you to have done something.

#Adium #Pidgin #LibPurple #LostConnections

@d1 @daniel Second that. Quality and UX are way more important than features. See #Matrix #Element for how not to do it. I consider some lovely cuteness as part of UX, not an extra feature. See #Adium and @tootapp for how to do it.

Ähm, Google, nein. Und wenn dein LLM mit den Suchergebnissen integriert wäre, hättest du das sprachliche Ergebnis wohl anders berechnet. Aber dem scheint nicht so.

#adium #xmpp #lurch

(At a later point I'm going to generate #ObjC bindings for #libpurple 3 using #ObjGTK and then use #ObjFW to integrate libpurple into #Adium. But I never said that, because probably it will never happen.)

Well, turns out to update that plugin I should update #Adium to use a current GLib and current libpurple. In order to do that I need to compile Adium anew, which means I should have a more powerful machine to run #Mavericks. That means I need to set up the Hackintosh. Well, that escalated quickly.

#matrix #libpurple

(No, I won‘t do it [now]. Element Web works fine using Firefox.)

Ok, the #Adium #Matrix plugin doesn’t take into account the server specified nor the proxy. It’s a very rough hack.

#MavericksForever

So it seems that #MacPass needs a backport, same for #MacDown, which starts, but doesn’t open any document.
Luckily #Adium starts without any problems, it just needs a #Matrix plugin of course:

@raphm Plus j'y pense et #Pidgin 100%, app pour Linux et Windows, sur macOS tu peux utiliser #Adium - ajoute un "compte" Bonjour et voilà, les autres utilisateurs locaux apparaîtront.

Working out which social network to use is difficult.

Oh for the days of #adium though that works for x too!

@bjoern Ich hab #XMPP z.b. als Familienchat im Einsatz. #Prosody (u.a.) läuft auf einem Hardkernel Odroid HC4. Als Clients sind beispielsweise #Sunbird / #Thunderbird (Linux), #Adium (macOS), #Conversations und #MonoclesChat (beides Android) im Einsatz. Auf Push verzichte ich, das Pulling der Clients ist schnell genug.
Der XMPP wird auch als Notification-Dienst für die sonstigen Cronjobs und co auf dem HC4 verwendet und sendet mir darüber erfolgreich Statusmeldungen :)
