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. It was built with native widgets and also incorporated chat themes that were implemented using WebKit's rendering (https://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=search&cat_id=5&sort=downloads). It was fast and memory friendly given that it was a native app and the themes were just small templates offering... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
> there was also some Duck app for macOS? You are thinking of Adium (https://adium.im). I believe it was a port of pidgin/libpurple to cocoa/aqua (or whatever the macOS gui framework was back then). - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
Getting some Qs about Delta availability, hope this clarifies things! • Delta is exclusive to AltStore in EU • Because of Apple’s new dev terms, all downloads in EU cost us €0.50/yr in AltStore PAL and App Store…so couldn’t offer Delta in EU App Stores without making it paid • App Store only supports one-time paid-upfront apps, so we’d have to pick a price that could support ~years of CTFs • PAL’s €1.50... - Source: Hacker News / 7 days ago
Offtopic: a while ago the mastodon web interface changed so you had to enable javascript to see anything. I stopped reading mastodon links. I've just noticed that the server will cough up the post if you add "/embed" to the url.

If you're not aware, the author is Doug Gregor, one of the leads on the Swift team at Apple and parts 1 to 5 in this series were all posted on the same day: https://mastodon.social/@dgregor79@sfba.social/112253040283087966. - Source: Hacker News / 14 days ago
Message from iGBA creator: https://mastodon.social/@rileytestut/112268412745806214 > So apparently Apple approved a knock-off of GBA4iOS — the predecessor to @delta I made in high school — in the App Store. I did not give anyone permission to do this, yet it’s now sitting at the top of the charts (despite being filled with ads + tracking) >I’ve bit my tongue a bunch in the past month…but this really frustrates me.... - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago
If you use Mastodon, I'd really urge you to try Phanpy. It's not just a great Mastodon client - it has a few genuinely innovative interaction patterns that work really well. Really hard to believe that it's pretty much made by one person, given how polished and full-featured it is: https://mastodon.social/@cheeaun. - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago
