untakenstupidnichas anyone tried telegram+nitroid?13:55
sicelonot I - i think Fremantle > Nitroid14:09
sicelotelegram - there's a Telegram plugin for Pidgin. Last I checked, it works fine.14:09
sicelothere's also telegram-cli, but of course, that may not be everyone's kind of thing14:10
bencohtelegram works fine with pidgin yeah14:19
bencohpidgin is probably not the best UI ever, but still14:19
untakenstupidnichow could i get the telegram plugin? its not there14:49
bencohyou can install it from extra-devel15:09
bencohhttp://maemo.org/packages/view/purple-protocol-telegram/15:09
bencohto be honest the author could probably promote it to testing at this point15:09
untakenstupidnicjust remembered that telegram is censored here and there is no obfsproxy to accompany tor15:55
siceloouch15:57
buZzuntakenstupidnic: which here?16:18
untakenstupidniciran16:19
buZzah16:22
buZzcouldnt you run any tor client and just torify for that telegram webapp thingy?16:23
buZzat least on maemo leste that works fine16:23
bencohdon't tell me you seriously intend to use web.telegram.org on maemo16:35
bencohon n900 at least16:35
bencohyou can change the proxy settings for pidgin btw16:36
sicelo:-p16:40
brolin_empeyuntakenstupidnic: Move to a country that does not censor telecommunications?16:52
untakenstupidnicbrolin empey: wow, you are so smart!16:53
brolin_empeySarcasm detected.16:53
untakenstupidnicindeed 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_empeyOK.16:58
buZzbencoh: at least, i've seen people use the -electron- version of telegram on maemo leste on droid417:15
bencohn900 isn't anywhere close to the droid4 I'd say :)17:17
bencohin that regard at least17:18
siceloTelegram Desktop is not Electron, is it?17:18
bencohit could very well be, I dunno17:18
siceloI very much doubt that. How can I confirm/check?17:18
sicelominicom and myself have run Telegram Desktop on Leste on both N900 and Droid 4. Runs OK with a couple of quirks here and there17:19
bencohtelegram-desktop seems to be based on qt517:20
buZzsicelo: i think so17:21
buZzoh, ok17:21
buZzisnt electron a qt app?17:21
bencohno idea :)17:22
sicelomaybe you should first define what an electron app is :)17:22
bencohhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_(software_framework)17:22
sixwheeledbeastno electron is far from qt17:23
usnbencoh: tor itself is censored. you need pluggable transports17:37
usnsicelo: really? an update version?17:38
usn(telegram-desktop seems to be heavy)17:39
sicelousn: 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 unoptimized17:56
sicelobut yes, maybe telegram-cli is better option on Leste for N90018:15
usnyay! it totally works! just the back of device is bit warm indicating it would eat the battery shortly. but good for emergency.18:28
sicelowhat works? :-)18:32
usntelegram-desktop on leste18:32
sicelo:-)18:33
brolin_empeyI 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
