Adium VS irssi

Is Beeper like the once super-messaging app Adium[1]? Do Beeper not use Apple's iCloud App-Password? Can one not just download and use Beeper[2] without creating an account? 1. https://adium.im 2. https://www.beeper.com. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

I love classic IM apps, and I want to give the macOS instant messaging app "Adium" a complete rejuvenation for Apple Silicon because it's last update was over 5 years ago and I've needed a good XMPP client for Mac because I've started using it. But almost the WHOLE. THING. Is written in Objective-C, containing no Swift code whatsoever. It's so old, it still has growl (old 3rd party macOS notification system before...

Jabber is now called XMPP. XMPP is a technology, actually used by many other services such as Facebook chat. (or at least it has been at one point, don't know what the current status is.) XMPP continues to also work with Adium, a multi-protocol chat app that's completely customizable (visuals + sounds). Source: almost 2 years ago

I really miss Adium (https://adium.im) which was based on Pidgin's libpurple. Adium had such a great user experience.

I found Irssi which apperantly has the capability to do this but the configuration is more complex than I hoped. While my experiments haven't concluded yet, is anybody aware of an easy to use IRC client that I can use to crawl the messages in an IRC channel? Source: almost 2 years ago

Eggdrop [0] and BitchX [1] come to mind. Irssi [2] has a plugin that enables Tcl scripting. I'm currently fiddling with TkCAD [3] in order to put a small CNC machine to use here, it needs some small adaptations to work on Linux, but I find it a nice find!

I've used irssi (https://irssi.org) for years. Have a session running on a shell host under tmux. Works perfectly for me on a desktop and a mobile ssh client. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
