yeti I'm sure I can be forgiven for thinking that *BSD users may also be terminal IRC users too?
I get it though, IRC is ancient and positively redundant by today's standards and we should all use telegram/discord/matrix/*messenger etc. But by that logic we probably shouldn't be using BSD as a desktop OS. We'd be better served using Ubuntu or ChromeOS for that matter. The whole allure (for me) of BSD on old hardware is nostalgia, and that includes doing things the old way.
I Understand that's not everyone's preference, but that's why I'm here. For a hefty dose of nostalgia and to learn how to do things by hand.
I use ircIIover weechat/irssibecause well, its the original ... Yes its annoying as hell but I don't rely on it for anything.
I've got my limits though, I tried using viexclusively for text editing but I eventually caved in and installed vim
I'm certainly not one of those angry militant nostalgic *nix users who think that everyone should do things the hard way but I just assumed I was among others who like "pushing shit uphill" just as much as I do 🤣
