#libpurple — Public Fediverse posts

(At a later point I'm going to generate #ObjC bindings for #libpurple 3 using #ObjGTK and then use #ObjFW to integrate libpurple into #Adium. But I never said that, because probably it will never happen.)

Well, turns out to update that plugin I should update #Adium to use a current GLib and current libpurple. In order to do that I need to compile Adium anew, which means I should have a more powerful machine to run #Mavericks. That means I need to set up the Hackintosh. Well, that escalated quickly.

"#Mozilla can press on with independent subprojects such as #Thunderbird owners #MZLA #Technologies #Corporation. The popular #Electron #framework is based on #Chromium. It's too late to change that, even if maybe #Servo may one day offer an #alternative. But if #Thunderbird sucked in #Libpurple, it wouldn't matter if #Slack and #Teams and so on used #Electron, as Thunderbird could talk to the servers directly."
"But pointing at what we'd like to see is attempting to #treat the #symptoms and not the #disease. Is there a way to #encourage Mozilla to be an #organized, #focused, #professional #business, with #eyes keenly set on a clearly defined #goal? Perhaps that's the wrong #question. Perhaps that shouldn't be the goal at all. For all that the #Linux business is #huge, no #company #develops the #kernel. They all #cooperate on it. The #Linux #Foundation #funds it, but doesn't really #guide it."

I started a new project: a #libpurple plugin in #rustLang for the cable #p2p chat protocol.

Most of my time on it so far has actually just been figuring out how to tell rust-bindgen how exactly NixOS is an unusual environment.

I got tired of having to open and look at ten different programs/websites/devices for instant messaging; and decided to centralize all my IM needs on my irc client with #bitlbee and #libpurple.

But telegram and whatsapp make doing that such a headache that i decided to give up after two days of failed set up. I will just minimize the use of those IMs to check once a week and keep using IRC as The One True group chat as i always have done.

My current WeeChat setup

Since it's come up in conversation a couple of times in the past week (waves at @snowdusk__ and @yarmo), here's a #screenshot of my current #WeeChat setup (though with different buffers selected than my usual arrangement).

"What am I looking at on the screenshot?"

A buffer list ¹ on the left. Buffers represent the channels, private message streams and status timelines from the various chat media you are connected to.
Side the buffer list are a variety of horizontally and vertically panes, which @weechat called 'windows', each window showing the contents of one
² of the buffers.

"What buffers are visible in these window panes?"

From top left to bottom right these are:

• #sourcehut's water cooler IRC channel,
• #Twitter timeline, provided through the Twitter #libpurple plugin for #Bitlbee.
• #chanmon, a Perl script to display activity from all currently active (and monitored) buffers.
• #highmon, a Perl script to display highlights from all (highlight-monitored) buffers.
• Lobby #IRC channel, general discussion channel.
• #openMSX on #liberaChat IRC network, for discussions regarding the #MSX emulator I occasionally contribute to.
• #Twitch chat channel for #Kikoskia's stream, provided by setting up a Twitch OAuth token and connecting over their IRC-compatible interface along with twitch python script for stream status details.
• The #WeeChat IRC channel on #libera.

"What's making it work?"

All running in a #tmux terminal multiplexer session, running under #WSL2 on #Windows, in the #WindowsTerminalPreview #terminal client.

(Repost to fix an at-mention...)

Footnotes

¹ though I still use buffers.pl script rather than the built-in buflist plugin because I'm too lazy to migrate my settings to make it look and act in the way I've gotten used to.
² or more, as buffers can be merged, displaying the contents of each of the merged buffers chronologically in the same window pane.

(wollte in #IRC einen völlig validen nick wählen - ging nicht, wird kommentarlos abgeschnitten)

@boris I was thinking of doing something closer to #Pidgin / #libpurple where there are existing data sources and you make them available behind a standard API and interface. I'm thinking socials, chat, events, wikis.

@grimmy Regarding your posts about #Pidgin and mobiles. You're certainly correct about proprietary platforms. But there is #Chatty and its a nice mobile client based on #libpurple!

Pidgin’s doc/ folder has some… very interesting stuff in it! :gutkato_pensas: :gutkato_pingveno:

From time to time I work on #Quail which is (or rather was) an instant messaging client based on #libpurple using the #Qt toolkit.

It has pretty much been abandoned for 9 years and the little bit of work I've put in so far was mostly just fixing some bugs I experienced when testing it. I'd like to continue working on it in the little bit of spare time I have although I don't really have a clear idea where I want to go with this.

#QuailDev

Background story on my motivation behind adapting #Dino https://fsci.in/blog/importance-of-free-software/ #xmpp #FreeSoftware

#Gajim is the only other app that works decently with #omemo/end to end encryption, though its developers are opposed to making the ui adaptive. The other app #chatty has good adaptive ui, but end to end encryption is broken and it is unlikely to see any fixes anytime soon (since it uses #libpurple and does not have any recent releases).

With all the interest in #mastodon I kinda wish the #libpurple #bitlbee or #irssi plugin compatibility wasn't so buggy...

@ArnoldSchiller RIP #Pidgin & #libpurple

Could #KDEConnectSMS or its GNOME equivalent be made to work as a #libpurple plugin for #Pidgin? I do like how Pidgin allows me to have my Matrix, IRC, Whatsapp, and Telegram all together, and it would really ice the cake to have access to my text messages there too.

#KDE #KDEConnect #GSConnect #SMS

@Cyb3rrunn3r
Meine waren nach zu langer Inaktivität tot. :/ Aber gute Idee, sollte auch mal wieder die #libpurple auspacken. Sei es bei der Biene oder den Vögelchen. Und das gute alte OTR dazu.

Have #google finally turned off the old #jabber interface for hangouts? I can no longer get #bitlbee to connect to it in either native or #libpurple forms.

While I am still in the process of setting up my #PinePhone after reinstall: Anybody ever tried buulding #Pidgin with #GTK3? As I want to mess around with #libpurple-plugins, I would love to have a non-Xwayland GUI that's more adjusted to working with many plugins than #Chatty currently is. (Advice on how to do everything with Chatty is also appreciated!)

@joseph
For a while I used it to use fb chat, twitter, icq and some other protocols powered by #libPurple. Unfortunately you do miss out on things like thumbs up for posts (which was awkward for the Pokémon GO raid chat I was in, which used those to gauge interest/attendance for raids) and directly seeing embedded images.

Know what we need? A #libpurple desktop app that uses a database
