• Is there anyone still maintaining a native IRC client for macOS?

  If you don't mind terminal clients, irssi is still regularly updated (most recent version was released in March of this year). It's available with homebrew. Source: 9 months ago

• Best (easiest) way to crawl an IRC channel?

  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

• Karl Lehenbauer, “Tcl: The Tool Command Language – Lisp for the Masses”

  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!

• Ask HN: What IRC client do you use?

  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

• Twitter’s Encrypted DMs Are Deeply Inferior to Signal and WhatsApp. The social network's new privacy feature is technically flawed, opt-in, and limited in its functionality. All this for just $8 a month.

  I love how Matrix or its most popular client Element do not even get a mention. Source: 12 months ago

• A new onboarding experience on Mastodon

  The title undersells the change a bit in my opinion. By default, mastodon now encourages new users to sign-up on https://mastodon.social which has caused a bit of a kerfuffle in the fediverse. Personally, I'm largely ambivalent to the change; I understand the reasoning, and it's what https://element.io has been doing for https://matrix.org since the beginning. It is more than a bit of a sea-change though given the... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Paying users get early access to the new change

  We currently have the Matrix protocol, with client applications such as Element supporting it. We also have XMPP as another option. Generally more modern than IRC, these platforms are primarily developed as FOSS software. This makes it less likely for developers to impact their users negatively. However, despite these advantages, these platforms lack the refined user experience (addictiveness and stickiness) that... Source: 12 months ago

• [For Hire] Computer Programming Tutor or Teacher (C, C++, and others, details inside)

  Please DM me if you are interested in hiring me or have any questions at all. We will work via Element (https://element.io) voice/screen share calls, so please make sure you have a mic available. I look forward to hearing from you. Source: 12 months ago

• Discord alternatives?

  Your best bet is probably matrix, the most user friendly client iirc is element. Source: about 1 year ago
