Just found out that #BeagleIM automatically fetches web links in messages and plays the page's video if there is one.

This is not acceptable behavior!!!

* It's annoying. There isn't any obvious way to stop the video.

* It's insecure. The linked page might attack vulnerabilities in Beagle's video player.

* It exposes the user's IP address to anyone who sends them a message, potentially physically endangering them.

Will uninstall and replace ASAP.

je viens d'installer #monal et #beagleim sur #macos

Il n'y a pas photo, #beagleim c'est mieux.
https://beagle.im/

points forts de #beagle en 2sec:
- la visio conf marche direct avec #conversations
- les images ne sont pas recadrées bizarrement comme dans #monal

points faibles:
- l'interface n'est pas traduite (anglais)
- pas possible de l'installer sans passer par l'AppleStore
- leur site web et les captures d'écran ne font pas honneur au produit.

Beagle IM

Lightweight and powerful XMPP client for macOS, with audio and video calls and built-in privacy

Pronto... separei minhas contas de #xmpp em diferentes apps no desktop e mobile.

No desktop:

  • A conta "pública" tá no #BeagleIM pois ele é ótimo para interagir em canais públicos (MUC)
  • A conta "privada" tá no #Monal pois é ótimo para conversas 1:1 e grupos

No celular:

  • No isafashionPhone01 (#iOS) tem o #Monal com a conta privada
  • No isafashionPhone02 (#Android) tem o #Conversations com ambas contas (pública e privada) porque ele é excelente em todos contextos

🤗

@lproven Sadly it's not only the companies not supporting #XMPP anymore, but also the client ecosystem becoming more and more degraded.

For example, on Mac there used to be a bunch of well maintained OSS clients, like #AdiumX. These are more or less gone, with a few exceptions like #BeagleIM and #MonalIM. Might be a different situation on Linux though...

This is sad. For me XMPP on its high was the pinnacle of IM.
