What is my position on LLMs, you might ask. I love it and I pay for subscription of one of the shit corpos!!!"

One of the most braindead takes on LLMs I’ve heard in awhile.

Which version did this happen in?

2.3.0, according to their new website, though I found out about it at a much later version.

The latest pre-libadwaita version of Gajim is 2.2.0, I don’t think there were any problems with that version.

It also locks up whenever we try dragging a picture into the chat window to send.

I remember that Gajim installed from Flatpak wouldn’t allow drag’n’drop functionality at all.

Whaat, that can happen??

Before the June update Gajim wasn’t related to GNOME at all and worked perfectly fine on my Xfce desktop. The update fully switched to GTK4 + libadwaita, and they also redesigned their website to look exactly like GNOME’s.

I suppose they changed their design direction…

Yeah that’s exactly it.

Gtk3 is considered legacy now

Cinnamon and Xfce still exist though. It’s not like gtk3 is suddenly out of use.

I’ll look into Movim, thanks!

I don’t, they are free to change their software any way they want to, and I’m free to not like the changes they’ve made.

There aren’t really any good clients for XMPP unfortunately. I’m just moving away to Matrix (ironically the one I avoided because it didn’t have good clients when I looked into IMs).
