Ask HN: How to deal with constant interruptions at work (with ADHD)
I replaced the Slack client with wee-slack [https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack]. It brings a much more "zen" experience to using Slack and better compliments my keyboard-centric desktop/workflow (e.g. clear all unread channel notifications? keybind! Jump between all the high priority/@mentioned notifications? keybind!) It also helps if you're expected to be available via Slack, since it can keep you showing "green" while you've actually been ignoring it.

Building a Slack/Discord Alternative with Tauri/Rust
Fwiw, last time I looked, wee-slack was a decent improvement for slack text chat. These days maybe a matrix bridge?

Ask HN: Is it still possible to live in a terminal?
> - My company uses Slack's enterprise auth, and all the CLI slack clients I could find haven't been updated in years and no longer work.
https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack is decent.
> - The web is using more javascript than in the past.
cli browsers are probably the only truly unrealistic thing. An idea that I've been kicking around for a while is to build a simple CLI "browser" that uses PhantomJS or similar under the hood to request, load, and render the page into an image, convert the image to sixel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel) and display it that way (or use any of the various terminal emulator-specific features (KiTTY has https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol/ for example)). Probably pretty clunky, but it's doable if you're in the mood to write something purely for fun.
> - Mutt doesn't handle multiple email accounts natively for work/personal. The solutions are hacks at best. Email servers are starting to use more complete auth mechanisms that don't work well with mutt.
I don't think they're hacks. You can define exactly how you want it to work. That's a feature, not a bug. Sure, it takes a little bit of work to set up but you can use https://github.com/cweagans/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/mut... as a starting point if you'd like.

One Week of Libera Chat
When the IRC gateway stopped working, I found https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack worked pretty well. But I switched employers months ago and no longer have to use Slack, which is even better! (So, I don't know how well it works today.)

Thoughts on the state of the freenode IRC network - Edward Kmett
The weechat plugin unfortunately cannot coexist with wee-slack (https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack/issues/812, https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix/issues/248), so if one wants to participate in the Haskell Foundation Slack, or any other Slack (e.g. for work), then Matrix is off limits. Yeah, it's just a bug that will eventually get fixed, but it does make things unnecessarily complicated. :-/

Vim on Slack?
Not really Vim but there is a plugin for WeeChat: https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack

What's the best way to find an emacs ninja to help/hire?
NB. On integrating slack & other webby things. Terminal applications might be a big help here (the Windows terminal now has excellent compatibility if you’re using Windows). For instance, there’s a slack plugin for weechat (a terminal IRC / chat client) which by all accounts works pretty well. Or there’s this client that runs directly in a terminal.

How to be social in the terminal
Wee-Slack is a WeeChat plugin that is based on python WebSockets and delivers most of the basic functionality of the Slack client. To use this, you need to receive a Slack API token. One way is - after installing - to run on WeeChat: /slack register This command prints a link you should open in your browser to authorize WeeChat with Slack. Once you’ve accomplished this, you should run:

Removing discord client cordless from package manager
The cordless project https://github.com/Bios-Marcel/cordless is now abandoned and archived, and the maintainer has been banned for a ToS violation.

We shouldn't use Discord to help with issues
The developer of the cordless Discord client got banned, presumably for using a third-party client.

Trademark Actions Against the PostgreSQL Community
The only blocking issue is that their success (and subsequent spam/abuse issues) is greater than their focus on open access, to the extent that they formally disallow 3rd party client access.
So at the one end of the spectrum with have IMAP/SMTP, in the middle we have things like Telegram (everything's GPL3! The protocol is terrible and here are all the details! Go nuts!)... and at the other end we have Discord: One Protocol, One Allowed Client™®©.
Do I use Discord? No.
Would I like to use Discord? Yes.
Why can't I use Discord? The client is too much for my older laptop.
Would I like to use Discord? Yes there are a pile of people on there I'm missing out
Can I do anything about it? Yes, I have two options:
1) use https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ until it suffers the same fate as https://github.com/Bios-Marcel/cordless
2) throw the whole thing to the wind until I have better hardware
Hmm. You know come to think about it the chances are people with similar interests are probably also stuck on older hardware too and probably won't be using Discord either...

How Discord Stores Billions of Messages (2017)
> There are alternate Discord clients, and — unlike Slack — Discord doesn't try to actively prevent people from writing alternate clients against their API.
Yes, they do.
https://github.com/Bios-Marcel/cordless:
> Hey, so I know this is somewhat of a bummer, but I got banned because of ToS violation today. This seemed to be connected to creating a new PM channel via the /users/@me endpoint. As that's basically a confirmation for what we've believed would never be enforced, I decided to not work on the cordless project anymore. I'll be taking down cordless in package managers in hope that no new users will install it anymore without knowing the risks. I believe that if you manage to build it yourself, you've probably read the README and are aware of the risks. I'll keep the repository up, but might archive it at some point. And yes, you'll still be able to use existing binaries for as long as discord doesn't introduce any more breaking changes. However, be aware that the risk of getting a ban will only get higher with time!

- Wish we could bring a Discord terminal client like this back

No shield of privacy though
Worth noting the developer of another third party client, Cordless, recently had their account disabled, which ended with the project sadly being abandoned.
