(Gajim was gnomed since June actually, Void Linux repos didn’t update to the new iteraction until a few days ago though so I wasn’t aware.)
Gajim was the best XMPP client for desktops, with a nice UI and all the features I’d ever need in a messenger (YMMV).
So of course it should have been turned upside-down with a UI redesign that removes compatibility with GTK3 themes while also looking extremely out of place on my system. Modern GUI design suck SO MUCH.
So this is a “don’t move my cheese” post?
I understand the need the vent from time to time, but most people have/create blogs for such things. Maybe it’s just time to look for another xmpp client.
There aren’t really any good clients for XMPP unfortunately. I’m just moving away to Matrix (ironically the one I avoided because it didn’t have good clients when I looked into IMs).
Movim is a very full featured client that supports group voice and video calls with screensharing, and it’s about to get discord-like spaces in a week or two.
Otherwise there’s Dino and Dinox.
I’ll look into Movim, thanks!
Hope it works well for ya! Also should mention that if you want to screenshare an application’s audio, you have to be using a Chromium based browser currently, due to it still being pretty new.
Dino is good.
Do you not think rants belong here? What about linking to a rant on a blog?
No, a lot of previously good tools got entirely unusable (like, buttons/tabs not working) outside Gnome with the move to gtk4. Granted, most of them Gnome tools. While not-Gnome tools generally work, but look out of place by not folllowing any user settings.
And also the brain-worm of “simplified” (useless) settings menu.
I’m not going to your blog 🙂
I’m usually not a ranting person. But it does happen from time to time. 😉
It’s nothing to do with length. I just don’t make a habit of visiting any particular website to read it. That’s what the threadiverse is for.
Alternatively: that’s what RSS is for.
RSS was killed by greed. Too many companies pumping out too much SEO garbage that I don’t care about, and not providing anything more than a headline in return. The threadiverse produces a curated feed of articles that are boosted up and down by the community. That’s why I’m here.
This place is pretty depressing you should branch out. I rank you guys like 18th out of places I can Hamas-post.
