@jessica @p @m0xee On PC maybe try movim since you seem to be fine with web frontends.

Meanwhile I can't use Matrix without shoving it into a burner system, Element, the only actual client, requires a bunch of crap from the browser.

gomuks is a pretty good console client if you need IM only and you are on a platform that has go toolchain (e.g. if you are on PowerPC MUSL system you're out of luck).
It supports E2EE and all that, but of course no voice calls.

Pretty sure MUSL doesn't matter unless you use cgo.
@p @jessica @m0xee You're too used to Plan9, Go stuff loves linking to the lib C on Unixes.

Mostly because of broken things like nsswitch.conf which should have been protocol-based instead (much easier to debug and works via any reasonable language).

Everyone else is too used to drinking the fluoride.

cgo is haram. (This is why I abandoned IPFS's libp2p.)

I can't think of a good reason to rely on NSS for anything rather than avoiding it like with all ancient broken cruft.

Same, at least PAM is something you can get rid of, I did.
But well… Unix is a seriously rotten zombie.

@lanodan @p @jessica@mk.absturztau.be All of this started as a discussion of an article about some browser shit. How did we get here? 😄

@lanodan @p @jessica@mk.absturztau.be Pretty much! I knew that once I start hanging around Fedi it would take a lot of my free time away.
Now I see I was 100% on point 😂
