<midfavila>i use pidgin/finch pretty much exclusively for telegram
<riteo>do you use telegram a lot?
<midfavila>yeb
<midfavila>unfortunately
<riteo>because personally even just opening a sticker to see what it is was pain
<riteo>yeah same
<midfavila>pidgin can do inline stickers with tdlib-purple
<midfavila>including animated ones
<riteo>ohhhh
<riteo>reactions?
<midfavila>shows up as an inline message
<midfavila>"X reacted to (message) with :thing:"
<riteo>uh I should take another look
<midfavila>yes you should
<riteo>I mean I have telegram-desktop which is very optimized actually
<midfavila>https://github.com/ars3niy/tdlib-purple
<riteo>flatpaked :( but very optimized
<riteo>surprisingly it's qt based
<riteo>no electron shit
<midfavila>pidgin uses like 30-50mb at rest
<midfavila>including with tdlib-purple
<midfavila>:P
<riteo>yeah obvs pidgin is lighter lol
<midfavila>gtk2 gang
<midfavila>finch is even less
<midfavila>although i still want to write ii(1)-like clients for stuff in the future so that i can get away from libpurple
<riteo>ouch last commit 3 years ago
<riteo>oh yeah thinking about it an ii-like solution might allow for different backends quite nicely, wouldn't it?
<midfavila>https://github.com/BenWiederhake/tdlib-purple
<riteo>I kinda disdain dinamically loaded plug-ins
<midfavila>more active fork
<midfavila>yeah its not ideal
<midfavila>the goal is to just have fifos/sockets/whatever for everything, arranged like ii
<midfavila>and then have a frontend written using an intermediate API that sits atop xaw/curses
<riteo>nice
<midfavila>so at build time you can link against either the xaw version or curses version, get the same experience, and be able to use all that stuff just fine
