@Tadano @nishi you might be asking for too much if you're asking for VC support in a CLI client
i personally do not mind having a QIP styled client that is psi with file sharing support and vc being in mumble instead

@lina @nishi I love XMPP but I do not love its desktop clients. In fact I rather dislike them and wish there was a decent TUI option with image + VC support

@Tadano @nishi the rule i hold for open source stuff is don't complain unless you're willing to submit a bug report or other feedback, better yet unless you're willing to contribute that yourself
proprietary shit however is fair game and you are encouraged to drown it in diarrhea even if you're never gonna make a bug report
psi is good enough imho, the only thing it needs is to fix the unencrypted files and to fix the outgoing messages being marked as unencrypted by omemo despite them being encrypted

@lina @nishi Would be cool and satisfy my terminal autism :faunatarded:
And yeah I would love a client that looks like Psi. I just want a client that isn't shit and actually supported properly.

toxic for tox has that, finch may do too cc @Zerglingman
every so often someone airs "man what if vc" in the profanity muc, and the answer is always "we take pull requests :)" so there you go

@menherahair @Tadano @Zerglingman @nishi yea exactly, either contribute a pull request or just use mumble, most people will choose the latter, expectedly

@nishi @lina @Tadano @menherahair ^
There's a guy that roams around mumble, bit of a weirdo, keeps you humble, he always complained that my server will drop you if you try to upload images. I told him to stop using mumble for sending images. Let text chat be text chat, voice chat be voice chat, and file transfer be file transfer.

@Zerglingman @Tadano @menherahair @nishi i did that once and i didn't get upset cuz come on man, mumble's inconvenient for looking at text messages, let alone images, just thought it'd work out cuz i don't like posting shit that has zero context

@nishi @lina @menherahair @Zerglingman I ought to start a Mumble server already. Would probably run better than Matrix even with the usage of Dendrite or Conduit over Synapse

@Tadano @menherahair @lina @nishi Oh definitely. Mumble is like 1/10000th weight. Federation is heavy.
umurmur is basically "install, put channel name, turn on, forget", so ez.

@Zerglingman @Tadano @lina @menherahair why not use xmpp when it works :marseydespair:

@nishi @menherahair @lina @Tadano I do. I like xmpp a lot more than matrix. xmpp is, in my opinion, the best chat/IM protocol. It beats IRC solely on the grounds of allowing multiline messages. Formatting is nice but you can just do that clientside with markdown or whatever, not necessary.
Matrix, meanwhile, is not a chat protocol. It's a synchronisation tool.

@Zerglingman @Tadano @menherahair @nishi more like it's a proof of concept that you can imitate discord with foss that nobody cares about cuz discord users will keep using discord and people who like good software and protocols will use xmpp and a client of choice

@lina @nishi @menherahair @Tadano Surprisingly dicksore people actually do sometimes try using matrix. And then immediately come face-to-face with the reality that matrix is nothing like dicksore, and leave. It would be nice if they tried xmpp instead.
But one thing I have discovered is that normies care a lot about catchy names. Maybe we would have more success calling it jabber, but I like the filter as-is.
