@UncleIroh @shortstories @charliebrownau >i'm pretty sure IRC isn't even a thing anymore. closest thing to that is hexchat.
Thanks I hate it (hexchat is an IRC client)

>haven't heard of delta chat
It's basically a souped-up mail client

>no-one uses XMMP except feds
Fuck you retard, join [email protected], let's make vidya great again

Avoid. The guy who wrote lokinet is on here, he was also main dev on session for a while, and he has nothing good to say about it.

Could someone ELI5 me how to get access to this? I have no clue, I'm on a Pinephone running Alpine Linux, so I'd need a terminal client of some kind. I was using gomuks for matrix for a awhile but it is buggy as shit.

@charlie_root @shortstories @charliebrownau @UncleIroh Finch :^)

Do I need sign up on someone's server too? dcc tried to get me into terminal xmpp and I just didn't fucking get it.

@charlie_root @shortstories @charliebrownau @UncleIroh Yes. And some clients will ask you for a JID straight up without telling you what it is. It's just like fedi acct; username + server. I don't think finch does that though.

@shortstories @charliebrownau @UncleIroh @charlie_root *oh and you don't need to register on a webpage or whatever, you just set your username, password and server and connect and say "yes create account" and it does it.

Also try out SimpleX Chat, run a relay or something since you're already into privacy messaging.

I like it alot, though obviously not as much your dad loves fucking that rusty pole.

It's a neat idea, but it reeks of techbro influence; they seem to be barking up completely the wrong tree. They have completely unrealistic understandings of what the attack vectors actually are.
So I don't necessarily think it's bad, just that it's probably not all that private.

I'm aware of who ToB's are. The audit looks good tbh. Literally nothing in that report that worries me.

I love that it's written in Haskell, and I like that it has a typescript sdk. i like that is has a dedicated terminal CLI too. and most of all i like that id's are as quick, disposable or permanent as you want them to be.

And here your are with a hardon for pidgin. GTFO and wait your turn on the rusty pole. Goblin's almost done.
