Tell me it’s rewritten in Rust, and I’ll orgasm.
It won’t be 😔
Love that this is still going, spent literally hours and hours on this for MSN a long time ago
I can’t believe this is still going. I used this back in the day as the superior AIM client. This was truly a blast from the past that I didn’t expect in 2025.
And they’re still on Sourceforge!
I remember it for the same reason. Pretty cool that the project is still going
I remember that I switched to this from Trillian back in the day.
Whatever happened to Trillian? Really liked its design back then.
WhatsApp
Sad but true.
Gaim❤️
Interesting, that’s a name I didn’t hear in a long time!
I’m wondering if matrix support is planned at some point (maybe even natively, I’ve seen that there is a plugin for it but the last commit to that was 2 years ago)
Honestly i didn’t even know this was still a thing
Ι hope they stop all their old protocols, and include only xmpp, matrix, irc, and maybe a couple more relevant ones, but drop msn/icq etc old stuff.
I think ICQ, AIM and MSN messenger are all dead now. WhatsApp works on Matrix via a bridge. Not sure about other platforms.
The key is modules. Then people can use the protocols that work, even if they’re a little stale.
Using gajim but will go back to pidgin when it adds xmpp to v3.
It doesn’t work well with XMPP unfortunately
I wonder if Finch is still around.
Is it gonna be rebuilt on LibAdwaita?
looks like it, yeah
yes
Initially Pidgin 3 supported both GTK+ 2 and 3 but shortly after Gary took over, GTK+ 2 support was dropped. A few years later, it was then decided we should just bite the bullet and move to GTK 4 instead, as GTK+ 3 was no longer being actively developed which meant we were just creating tech debt. As part of the GTK 4 migration we also pulled in Adwaita even though we’re not an official GNOME application.
Aww man (well it’s fine but ngl libAdwaita fits poorly outside of gnome)
