    I use purple-discord (libpurple/Pidgin plugin) + BItlBee (IRC chat gateway, libpurple variant) + Quassel (distribued IRC client, like a bouncer) on a home server, and use Quasseldroid to connect on mobile. I would eventually like to simplify this setup.

    Personally, I believe it may actually hold up in court.

    That's why for my own projects, I actually made sure to get approval from all contributors when vendoring a dependency just after the ToS change: https://github.com/justjanne/QuasselDroid-ng/issues/5

  • GitHub scraped your code. And they plan to charge you

    If you upload code to GitHub, you grant them (and every GitHub user) a license to do exactly what Copilot does.

    This ToS change happened 2017, and I actually had to get approval from all contributors of my projects to accept to the changed ToS: https://github.com/justjanne/QuasselDroid-ng/issues/5

    What GitHub’s doing is shady, but it’s been obvious it was going to happen for years.

    ah didn't realize it had gone away. its successor appears to be [0]

    now I'm reliving the chaos of the late-00s/early-10s instant messaging apocalypse when AOL sunsetted AIM. Clients like Trillian were absolutely necessary before AIM shut down. Everybuddy was a good linux-friendly client. When I still spent time on IRC, I really really liked Bitlbee [1] with ERC [2].

    (I'm not saying that there's a connection there, but rather that all the chat protocols started getting used less around the same time for the same reason, which was smartphones becoming commonplace in late-00s.)

    I used to have a similar setup to use IRC for everything using https://www.bitlbee.org. Fun times!

    Another approach to this is to use bitlbee's twitter support and your favorite Emacs IRC client to access that. This is especially nice if you are using bitlbee anyway.
