  1. Greetings Programs! Tonight we're writing an AI policy because all that time that AI saves other's has to come from somewhere...

    I've been avoiding this for awhile but we've gotten a number of AI contributions recently and I'm tired of spending any time on them, so here we go!

  2. I (@grimmy) am going to state this as clearly as possible here in the hopes it'll propagate quickly.

    , and the other projects we maintain alongside it, have never and will never knowingly accept AI-assisted anything.

    We proudly respect all licenses, and proprietary, and will not taint our license with whatever you think AI-generated code is licensed under.

    A more formal document is now in the works in the hopes that our precious volunteer time will be spared.

  3. @zzt My new response to people that say I should use AI or accept AI generated patches for @pidgin is for them to use their amazing AI to create their own version of #Pidgin. I'm still waiting for something to show up...

  4. I'm amazed how often people think that @pidgin used to connect to some public API in #AIM, #YIM, #ICQ, #MSN, etc...

    In reality we helped you break the #TOS constantly by using an unauthorized client that only worked thanks to the tireless efforts of reverse engineers.

  7. So random question to all users. Which plugins are you using to improve your XMPP setup in Pidgin right now?

    We're not going to make any promises, but we're throwing around the idea of possibly adding some of this to Pidgin 2 as a stop gap.

    If you have other suggestions or plugins, please let us know!

  8. I just got an email about some security findings in an alpha release of pidgin3...

    The necessary code changes total about 10 lines (haven't done them yet so it's just an estimate).

    The "documentation" of the issues, which is clearly AI generated is 1534 lines of text. This is a waste of everyone's time and your precious tokens, please be more succinct.

  9. Greetings Programs! We back tonight with our first stream of the @pidgin 3.0 Alpha 3 development cycles. 90 Days until that release and there is a lot I would like to get done, so lets get to it!!

  10. We're excited to announce that we just released Pidgin 3.0.0 Alpha 2! While this version is still not recommended for end users, you can read all about it in our official release announcement! discourse.imfreedom.org/t/pidg

  11. We're trying to gather some data when it comes to how people manage their "presence" in chat applications. That is, whether you're available or away among other options.

    We know this has declined over the years due to privacy concerns, but we're looking to gauge whether people update their presence in an ad-hoc fashion or use the saved presences that we support.

    So if you don't mind, please let us know and boosts are appreciated!

  12. So I'm looking at what it'll take to recreate the "dice" / "roll" plugin form the Purple Plugin Pack into @pidgin 3 and holy crap has dice notation gotten stupidly complicated..

    The days of simple 2d20 are gone as this is now a thing..

    > A d X kh H kl L kc C + B, which means "roll A dice with X sides each, keeping the H highest, the L lowest, and C of the player's choice"

    And I'm noticing this isn't complete either as it doesn't mention what B is 🤦

  15. So Ubuntu announced a new project named Myna. The only problem with that is that that was the name of our still in very early development #matrix client library.

    Since it's still in such early development, we're just going to rename that project, if you have any suggestions please let us know!
