Do you guys have a favorite IRC client for Windows?

I would certainly recommend organizing in IRC, but for more interaction,
Jitsi is worth a shot.
Zoom does work very well on Gnu/Linux, but yes - proprietary, so,
personally not interested in using them more than I already am coerced to :P
Jitsi usually handles rooms with up to about a dozen people pretty well,
but often struggles beyond that. Most issues are resolved with a simple
reload of the page.
Try it out @ either of these instances, no registration require:
https://meet.jit.si/ (typically pretty bleeding-edge, so sometimes less
stable)
or:
https://meet.mayfirst.org/ (pretty up to date, but generally more stable
of late)
Tim, you may be able to recover your ident info with the following, once
you've connected with #Freenode. If the name is registered with
NickServ, it'll email you at the registered address:
/msg NickServ SENDPASS turbox

How did this work?
I used IRC once before. A friend said "let's try this",
and told me what program to run and how to start.
The conversation went something like:
Hi, are you there? Yes. It works! Yes. Well goodbye.
That was many years ago, and I have forgotten the name
of the program. Then I got busy and forgot the WLUG
meeting entirely.
Diane has been using something called Zoom on Windows.
Google turns up some hints that Zoom can work on Linux,
but it seems to be a binary mystery code that connects
to the mother ship and does secret stuff...anybody know?

I've hoped on just to see that our channel still exists... and it does. I'm
"turbofx_" I think I registered the "turbox" username eons ago and long ago
forgot what ever password/token I needed.

I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their
constituents as "consumers".
I'm try to join in also on the IRC around 7pm.

I'm cancelling the physical WLUG meeting for March.
WPI just put out a notice that they're closed for all events/meetings and I've been contacted by several members that they're going to be staying home out of an abundance of caution or they're under the weather...
I'll be in our IRC channel tomorrow night and we can continue the fun online!
Hopefully things will calm down for April.
Stay safe.
Tim.

I should check before I type. It's just called 'freenode' in hexchat.

Konversation will work. I don't remember where any of the settings are in it.
Connect to freenode.net and join #wlug-ma
