FWIW, Pidgin is still very much alive, we even had a release in February... Also not sure what "very open Pidgin" means as we're 100% GPLv2 but whatever.

Grim, I apologize. I spoke too soon. I didn't mean to offend you or demean pidgin. I was reacting too harshly to the parent.

[rw_grim → erohead]

Thank you for apologizing.

I haven’t used pidgin in years but does that Teams plugin really work? I’ve seen projects try to integrate it into matrix and drop off because it was too hard.

[EionRobb → heyoni]

Works for me!

Although I'm the plugin's developer, so I may be a little biased :D

[rw_grim → heyoni]

It did last I knew, but I don't use teams so I don't know for certain.

[heyoni → rw_grim]

You are one lucky person and I envy you.

[rw_grim → heyoni]

Yep it's a great place to be especially when the CEO from a company punches down on a volunteer project on the day that CEO sold their company for 125 Million USD... /s

[heyoni → rw_grim]

Haha sorry I meant lucky as in not having to use Teams.

[rw_grim → heyoni]

Yeah I know, I was just using the opportunity to vent some frustration :)

[Grustaf → rw_grim]

Is 125 m the actual number? I would be surprised if they got more than 10.

That's what tech crunch and others are reporting https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/09/wordpress-com-owner-automa...

Wow, almost half of Automattic's annual revenue!
