I can't think of any way.

There is a Facebook plugin for Pidgin, and you can get at your chats that way with a more versatile cross-platform messenger, if you are more normally on other chat services.

If you want web-based clients, try a multi-app client such as Ferdium, RamBox or Station.

You can still use the official clients. Also, there are third party clients for Messenger. I've used https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook with Pidgin.

This is a common issue in the facebook plugin. See https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/issues/514 for more information.

I went to try the Pidgin Facebook plugin, and I couldn't login. There's no more app passwords as the plugin suggests, if you try to login without the 2 factor Facebook sends "Is This You?" notifications every time, but doesn't let you login if you say yes.

There's github issue[1] for it and no resolution, except a weird python script hack to do 2 factor which may or may not be reliable.

Yeah... There's a bunch of talk at https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/issues/526 and https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/issues/445.

Looks like it _might_ be fixed? https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/issues/514

You are using https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/archive/refs/tags/v0.9.6.tar.gz as the distfile. This source code archive is automatically generated by github and the developers say that it shouldn't be used.

I use Pidgin on desktop and found a custom plugin that re-allows you to connect to Facebook's messaging service. I'm basically invisible and when someone sends me a message, it shows up in Pidgin but doesn't send a read receipt or let others know I'm typing back (even though I can see when they're typing).

In the words of Jerry Seinfeld, what's the deal with binary symlinking not working? Example, the ProjectM visualizer I downloaded and moved to a more static directory. It runs fine in that directory but when I symlink it via KDE's Dolphin by drag/dropping to my desktop, it does nothing. Same when I try to make a shortcut in KDE's application launcher. Why is it so to be like that for when you do it to get your shortcut?

I think this is the spiritual successor to Winamp's visualiser, ProjectM:

If you're referring this this ProjectM, then it looks like Steam might be the best option.

It can also be used standalone from this github

Here you go, open-source, stand-alone version of the winamp visualiser: https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm

You might give Milkdrop a try. It started as a Winamp visualization plugin. It has its own scripting language and a ton of presets you can poke at to figure out how things work. I'm not sure what state Winamp is in these days, but Milkdrop has been ported to work as a Foobar2000 plugin called ProjectM. It looks like there's also a standalone version now, too: https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm
