@angristan i absolutely hate all these electron apps
@quad tfw you have chromium installed 20 times on your computer
@angristan @quad you could always just... not install them
@quad @angristan I get by fine not using any electron apps, life's good
@sir @angristan At work. Slack and Microsoft Teams are both pushed out and start on boot on my machine it can use like 5 GB right after boot once I open my browser.
At home the only electron app I use is KeeWeb because frankly the regular Keepass application just isn't that good.
@quad @angristan there's a pretty good weechat plugin for Slack. Also, pass > keepass
@quad @sir @angristan Thing is some electron apps aren't even unbearable. Even slack running in my browser, not electron slows my whole PC to a crawl. Electron's bad sure but slck's just exceptionally bad code on top of all that.
@rx14 @quad @angristan weechat plugin
@sir @quad @angristan I don't use weechat and I don't want to.
@angristan @quad @sir I use hexchat + znc for IRC and don't wish to change.
@rx14 @sir @quad @angristan actually I do wish to change but what I change to would be a nih
@rx14 @quad @angristan you should give weechat an earnest try, it's vgood
@sir @rx14 @angristan weechat is pretty dope. Though it's annoying to use in platforms like Windows unless you spend ages setting up a perfect cygwin install
@quad @sir @angristan good thing I don't use windows
@rx14 @sir @angristan tfw i use basically every platform. Winblows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, Windows Phone and even FreeBSD are all things I use at least once a day outside of weekends
BTW Windows is the worst of them all. Especially the phone one.
@shpuld @rx14 @angristan @sir main problem I have with IRC is that ZNC's push notification module is retarded and never works. Gave up trying to keep it working after about 3 months of it ruining everything for me
@quad @shpuld @rx14 @angristan I just don't get push notifications. I check my highlights when I'm back online.
@sir @shpuld @rx14 @angristan I move too much for that. I don't have time to keep checking IRC. I used to keep an IRC app running in the background but that just kills battery life since it's not push.
I won't even see my main desktop again until Monday. About 2 hours today I'll be on one desktop and tomorrow it depends on if a package of hardware arrives or not what I'll be doing
@quad @shpuld @angristan @sir I don't want push notifications from irc kek
@rx14 @shpuld @angristan @sir I only use IRC for communication related to hosting and servers. Twitter and Mastodon for fun. The rest is business only.
Even Discord i only use to keep up with people I maintain bots and sites for. But at least it gives me push notifications so I don't need to put effort into keeping myself updated
@quad @rx14 @angristan the root of that problem is not weechat
@sir @quad @angristan I don't think the value proposition is there for me. I think the only thing that would get me to change is the android app, the rest is just minor.
@rx14 @quad @angristan FTR I use ZNC, too
@angristan @quad @rx14 on android I connect with Atomic, not weechat
@sir @angristan @quad why the heck does atomic require the device id permission
@Michcioperz @sir @angristan @quad wow maxpowa can call it a day and give up on his irc client already lmao
@Michcioperz @angristan @quad @rx14 why is that link not f-droid
@Michcioperz @sir @angristan @quad thanks so so so so so much for this its perfect. It even handles znc backlogs of 10000 lines at connection speed.
@rx14 @quad @angristan @sir @Michcioperz oh just one thing, there's no option to order channels alphabetically lol
@rx14 @quad @angristan @sir @Michcioperz wamm must always be the bottom channel, unacceptable
@rx14 @Michcioperz @sir @angristan @quad smacked that on the issue tracker
@rx14 @Michcioperz oh and Vexatos says thanks for the app too
@rx14 @angristan @quad it's FOSS, go find out
@rx14 @angristan @quad @sir if weechat had a gtk/qt client id go for it
@rx14 @angristan @quad get over your fear of the terminal, weechat even works with the mouse
@sir @angristan @quad I don't have a fear of the terminal at all, I used vim for ages. Its just simply not as powerful. It'd be 99% ok for an irc client its the 1% that matters
@rx14 @angristan @quad I find it hiliarious that you think HexChat is more powerful than WeeChat
@sir @angristan @quad not in functionality, but in interface
@rx14 @sir @angristan i cannot think of a single thing the hexchat UI does that Weechat doesn't
@quad @sir @angristan accept gtk themes
@rx14 @sir @angristan It accepts whatever the fuck your terminal is configured to do so you can blame that on your terminal emulator not weechat
@Michcioperz @sir @angristan @rx14 enable the buffer bar and you've got essentially the same UI just in cli form
@rx14 @sir @angristan you do know that weechat is 5 billion times as powerful as hexchat right
@rx14 @quad @angristan I guess you can't be right all the time
@sir @quad @angristan "Your completely subjective opinion is objectively wrong"
@angristan @sir @quad I keep discord (which has more features than slack) open and it's fine compared to slack.
