It's cool that Microsoft open sourced Comic Chat but I open sourced my IRC client 13 years ago http://pocketirc.com
Download today for all your Windows Mobile Pocket PC, Pocket PC 2002, and Pocket PC 2003 devices.
Welcome to Microsoft Comic Chat!!!
"...a chat client from the 1990s that renders your Internet Relay Chat (IRC) conversations as automatically generated comic strips. Instead of plain text, everyone talks through cartoon avatars in speech bubbles laid out into comic panels in real time."
I'd completely forgotten about this until OSNews reported that Microsoft had re-release it.

This Sunday-morning-in-europe I am just going to briefly opine on Minsky and Papert's #Perceptrons ( #bookstodon ) and leak disspiriting nz government secrets about how nz's #AI #strategy is going by way of illustration (and #original #news #journalism I guess), from a multifarious handful of senior employees from different regions and departments / crown corporations.

The BitchX is Back!
No, not the Elton John song from the seventies - The #IRC client (considered the most popular before #Irssi and #weechat) back in the late 90's on #DALnet and into the 2000's.
But there's a twist, this is an entirely revamped beast, kinda like finding an old Model A Ford that's so rusted out even the axles are seized up and the doors are paper thin with shattered windows, and plenty of bullet holes in the body...
... and then restoring it back to factory showroom floor condition. Except for the engine - a rusted hunk of metal that was replaced with a brand new Chevy 454 Big Block V8; something really contemporary that you might not expect. I'll leave you to discover what that is by visiting the link where the maintainer explains everything :)
And remember, you too can once again be Too Lame to run BitchX!

@Em0nM4stodon precisely that!
And it's not as if there ain't options anymore:
We're in 2026, @tails / @tails_live was never easier to use and setup, @torproject got more battle-hardened with countless options ranging from IRC & XMPP+OMEMO ( i.e. monocles chat), to Zulip, RocketChat, PGP/MIME (i.e. @delta & @thunderbird ) & OnionShare (by @micahflee ) …
OnionService over Tor!More folks need to take ComSec serious before they get criminalized like Russian Opposition Figures…
