We are now entering hour three of the thrilling stand-off between @moonman and his archiac yet open sourced chat client. He has been unable to connect to the user who he wishes to talk to, which makes one wonder - what is the point of a chat client that needs this much time to set up when fast and easy alternatives exist? Is ideological purity really worth this much time spent on tweaking and trial and error when even American Online Instant Messenger would serve the same purpose? Is a chat client that does not allow you to chat effectively even a chat client, or is it an exercise rooted in idealism instead of practicality?-

@vriska okeydoke no biggie.
as a side note though, I'm not really doing anything special, just set up my own server.-

@maiyannah @moonman I tried to set up a client on windows on my old laptop and it took me the better part of two hours and its like yeah I get why open source is good and privacy is good but if the NSA wants to read my rambling about the Cryptic Ancient Unknowable Secrets i dont really mind

@vriska @moonman It's funny because this is exactly my experience with IRC and why I prefer XMPP haha

@vriska do you already use the google one
I could try just linking up to that one. i am not sure but I think that still works-

@moonman a really really fun lil chat client. open source IRC based communication with fun themes and cool typing quirk features (and a Potato Knishes thing)

@moonman You will have to add google to the insecure domains because it uses dialback but gtalk should still work. OTR and most extensible features don't work though and they have to have actually used gtalk when it was called that

@moonman I mean i see why in theory its a good thing but I don't really have anything to say that requires that level of encryption.
