A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

And now here I am, nostalgic for the good old days of having one chat app that could connect you to everyone over XMPP/jabber.
Pidgin exists
Please, don't recommend pidgin, it's a security hellhole, and a pretty terrible XMPP client at that. If you want something with a similar vibe, check-out https://dino.im/ or https://gajim.org/ if you are more on the "power-user" side of things :)
Yeah you could even communicate between facebook and google easily. The world didn't have to be full of walled gardens.
