Gajim 2.4.2

What’s New Gajim Setup for macOS Installing Gajim on macOS was possible for a while now, but it was inconvenient and difficult for most users. Setting up Gajim required using a terminal, manually installing dependencies and when installed, it did not offer proper system integration. Thanks to @Codimp and other contributors, installing Gajim on macOS is now done with a single click. With Gajim 2.4.2, we provide DMG setups for both x86 and ARM64 macOS architectures, allowing for a quick and easy setup of Gajim on your (or any other) Mac.

Gajim 2.4.0

What’s New Read markers: You already know read markers for your chats, which look like: ‘Contact has read up to this point’. Now, Gajim supports read markers for group chats as well! For group chats, we went for a different approach though: Each participant’s read state is indicated by the participant’s profile picture next to the message which has been read. Since this is working pretty good, Gajim now uses this approach for regular chats as well.

One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger #Apps.

My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal ¹, #Telegram, #Discord ², #WhatsApp, #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside:

WHY is there no #CrossProvider #Messenger to handle that shite?
WHY does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated #WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU they can??

This problem ain't new and already got solved for corporate social media ages ago! (Not to mention actually good messengers!)

And no, bridgesdon't count!
I mean API 0 - style access because obviously none of the platforms will allow, endorse or support such an endeavour and actively fight the developers and users !

So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim / #Gajim or @pidgin / #Pidginfor garbage platforms!

Cuz back in the day we had way worse messengers yet people actually made #AIM, #ICQ, #MSN, #QQ, #IRC & #XMPP work just fine from one single "phat" client!
Can we please get that back?
