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 its worth it
add me -
@moonman I do not have the agency to spend that long setting up anything. I'm sorry.
-
@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.
-
@vriska okeydoke no biggie.
as a side note though, I'm not really doing anything special, just set up my own server. -
@moonman cool!
maybe someday I will make the switch to Xtreme Merriweather Post Pavilion -
@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 No I don't, I literally use skype or pesterchum for all of my IM
-
@vriska Potato Knishes is pesterchum
-
@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 A magical thing
