Going back to Konversation for GUI stuffs. DCC file send/receive is kinda important to me. For everything else, including a lot of Matrix usage, WeeChat is still the Kewlist :p
Honorable mention goes to Halloy, which I think looks really good, supports tiling, and says it supports DCC Send - I don't mind manipulating config files by hand, and I might check it out with a FlatPak, but if I'm sufficiently impressed it looks like I'll have to build the .deb and SlackBuild myself, ... Well? Somebody's got to! Right?
@joel Well, the writing has been on the wall for a long time regarding IRC, let's hope Matrix manages to take that spot eventually, I am definitely not happy about the heavy reliance of many projects on Discord!
@mischievoustomato@icedquinn@joel Discord is horrific, it's a mess. Super overwhelming and there's a huge feeling of patriarchy. Finding any information is near impossible.
@hund man, this hurts. #Hexchat was the first #IRC client I tried under Linux, way back when, as a newb, I'd hop on the ubuntu channel and ask my questions. I kept using it for a long time until I learned to set up irssi, and still would use it in some livecds.
So I'm not particularly "affected" by this, but it does have a special place in my heart.
Cela dit, placer le code source sur GitHub pour qu’il “demeure là-bas jusqu’à la fin de Microsoft”, alors que GitHub n’est lui-même qu’une “poubelle à retardement” qui peut virer (et l’a déjà fait) n’importe quel projet à sa seule discrétion, c’est pas la meilleure idée du monde, je dirais. :/
(Et avant de dire “oui, mais on peut le reprendre” : c’est JUSTEMENT parce que PERSONNE n’a voulu le maintenir, malgré un appel pour ça, que ce logiciel est abandonné !)
@TritTriton I will say it anyway, abandoned projects get revived all time time, sometimes years later. If people love this client so much somebody will pick it up eventually.
But regardless, the great thing about IRC is that there is no shortage of clients.
greek #translation in #hexchat (irc client) for kick/ban actions :
"πάρε μπούλο"..
been using hexchat for almost a decade, first time i notice this..
tbh, smiled at first, but this feels completely wrong.
there's no greek word "μπούλο", just a greek slang that means "piss off" "fuck off" or similar.
btw, hexchat is using proprietary #transifex for translations, so i won't bother trying to correct it...
