I hope Qualcomm wins and wins its countersuits too.

I've been saying now for a while Bluesky is going to win, and it's easy to predict why. Mastodon has the completely wrong approach, its features are certainly interesting but the whole problem with it is most people are having tro

They won't even let me pay them the 20k-30k even after I made it clear that it might take me awhile to save it up, but I could feasibly do it.

Like yeah, they're right there is no bolding and italics on IRC, that's part of why it is great.

Why either, when I first went online bandwidth sucks, it still sucks even in the United States today only it sucks more upstream, especially, when in the world of file sharing, everyone hates a leach. Given that, Rich text support is not wa

More "basic formatting features (bold, italic)" No, thanks. If Discord were, you know, open source, The way I compiled it would strip those options out as well as any edits to pure ASCII Smileys.

Based on should be, that IRC can be extended, if users want to. They can have the features they want, but with discord, if I don't, I'm just along for the ride they provide.

by daeros 2y ago
I'm just going to say it, at this point given the way these talks have gone, but Discord is a vague amorphous blob of binary code that cannot be meaningfully forked to strip out and remove unwanted functionality should the end user not

And? IRC offers me the lack of bloat I prefer, it lacks the features they want, but I specifically want to merely be modules and plugins that you can opt out of if you don't want the overhead of having to bother with them. It also off

What if I told you, that I have no interest in addressing the needs of today? Because I feel the whole smartphone revolution was a mistake, and we'd be better off chucking ours all into a river and calling it a day. I get wanting mobil

Lol. These discussions are often with people who don't know shit. Like fair point.

Hahahaha, the lack of features is a feature. All that shit is bloat, no thank you.

Which frustrates us oldies because that polish is literally all it is. Even images are as simple as loading the image someone links in chat in the browser.

Firstly, IRC is not a Product anyone is trying to sell, I am an IRC evangelist, advocating for an old but adequate technology that can be configured to add the functions that people demand. IRC is not a Product, we are not salesmen, we are

People don't know a lot about IRC so they don't see it's value.

"The users have all left." the comment reminds me of the way people are when I talk about how badly I want Terrestrial radio to die in a fire. "People still listen to terrestrial radio?" Sadly, yes. There's a new c

https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/chathistory plus backlogging, I do appreciate that it's a module and not, you know, Standard.

by daeros 2y ago
Um if you need backlogging, as I noted, a Bouncer will provide. if they don't provide it for free hosting this on something like a digital ocean droplet can implement it, but then again, it can get expensive. https://github.

Why waste time redeveloping the wheel when what we should be doing is modernizing IRC to bring it into the 2020s and adapting what we already have and know works into something more familiar to these n00bs?

Every "problem" the IRC protocol faces, including UX, can be fixed.

Further, even if it were the case, it's the fault of android and Apple developers for having failed to implement a client for mobile. An issue that could and ought to be resolved.
