untakenstupidnic | has anyone tried telegram+nitroid? | 13:55 |
---|---|---|
sicelo | not I - i think Fremantle > Nitroid | 14:09 |
sicelo | telegram - there's a Telegram plugin for Pidgin. Last I checked, it works fine. | 14:09 |
sicelo | there's also telegram-cli, but of course, that may not be everyone's kind of thing | 14:10 |
bencoh | telegram works fine with pidgin yeah | 14:19 |
bencoh | pidgin is probably not the best UI ever, but still | 14:19 |
untakenstupidnic | how could i get the telegram plugin? its not there | 14:49 |
bencoh | you can install it from extra-devel | 15:09 |
bencoh | http://maemo.org/packages/view/purple-protocol-telegram/ | 15:09 |
bencoh | to be honest the author could probably promote it to testing at this point | 15:09 |
untakenstupidnic | just remembered that telegram is censored here and there is no obfsproxy to accompany tor | 15:55 |
sicelo | ouch | 15:57 |
buZz | untakenstupidnic: which here? | 16:18 |
untakenstupidnic | iran | 16:19 |
buZz | ah | 16:22 |
buZz | couldnt you run any tor client and just torify for that telegram webapp thingy? | 16:23 |
buZz | at least on maemo leste that works fine | 16:23 |
bencoh | don't tell me you seriously intend to use web.telegram.org on maemo | 16:35 |
bencoh | on n900 at least | 16:35 |
bencoh | you can change the proxy settings for pidgin btw | 16:36 |
sicelo | :-p | 16:40 |
brolin_empey | untakenstupidnic: Move to a country that does not censor telecommunications? | 16:52 |
untakenstupidnic | brolin empey: wow, you are so smart! | 16:53 |
brolin_empey | Sarcasm detected. | 16:53 |
untakenstupidnic | indeed i would move if state did let us, or nationalism had not frigged the world so i could somehow get a citizenship without getting a passport here first. | 16:56 |
brolin_empey | OK. | 16:58 |
buZz | bencoh: at least, i've seen people use the -electron- version of telegram on maemo leste on droid4 | 17:15 |
bencoh | n900 isn't anywhere close to the droid4 I'd say :) | 17:17 |
bencoh | in that regard at least | 17:18 |
sicelo | Telegram Desktop is not Electron, is it? | 17:18 |
bencoh | it could very well be, I dunno | 17:18 |
sicelo | I very much doubt that. How can I confirm/check? | 17:18 |
sicelo | minicom and myself have run Telegram Desktop on Leste on both N900 and Droid 4. Runs OK with a couple of quirks here and there | 17:19 |
bencoh | telegram-desktop seems to be based on qt5 | 17:20 |
buZz | sicelo: i think so | 17:21 |
buZz | oh, ok | 17:21 |
buZz | isnt electron a qt app? | 17:21 |
bencoh | no idea :) | 17:22 |
sicelo | maybe you should first define what an electron app is :) | 17:22 |
bencoh | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_(software_framework) | 17:22 |
sixwheeledbeast | no electron is far from qt | 17:23 |
usn | bencoh: tor itself is censored. you need pluggable transports | 17:37 |
usn | sicelo: really? an update version? | 17:38 |
usn | (telegram-desktop seems to be heavy) | 17:39 |
sicelo | usn: on Leste? yes it's the FOSS version of Telegram-Desktop. I actually don't find it that heavy. It definitely runs on Leste N900. But since it's qt5, some of the scrolling just feels a bit unoptimized | 17:56 |
sicelo | but yes, maybe telegram-cli is better option on Leste for N900 | 18:15 |
usn | yay! it totally works! just the back of device is bit warm indicating it would eat the battery shortly. but good for emergency. | 18:28 |
sicelo | what works? :-) | 18:32 |
usn | telegram-desktop on leste | 18:32 |
sicelo | :-) | 18:33 |
brolin_empey | I think the short battery runtime was one of many reasons I obsoleted my N900 in 2014. The Nokia BL-5J/BL-4J battery looks small in volume compared to Android smartphone/phablet batteries so I suspect the energy capacity of the BL-5J/BL-4J battery is less too. | 19:30 |
