If you really need to #IM with people via #Google, here's a nice #XMPP gateway for your side: https://github.com/ZeWaren/jabber-hangouts-transport -

@bobjonkman, at this point #GoogleTalk is (just) a pretty shitty #XMPP server: it's missing a whole bunch of important XEPs like Carbons and fully-functional MUCs, and it doesn't do back-end #TLS so most (better) servers will refuse to talk to it. -

So, #GoogleTalk still works and is still #federated #XMPP, but is an #island WRT other #Google services: there are no lines of direct communication with the Google mainland, despite being able to still see the lights on in the distance sometimes. -

#Google's migration of #GMail users from the #GoogleTalk backend to Hangouts would have actually been pretty good for an internal corporate rollout where 100% migration was achieved with intense handholding. But for something this public, they should have at least sent stragglers an e-mail with specific hard cut-over dates—instead of assuming that if you weren't present for the parade then you didn't matter. -

For a while #GoogleTalk was still available via #Google's webUIs, but then they switched the back end on those to Hangouts for everyone and removed the option for which back-end was in use. And for a while they displayed prominent notices about what was going on, but then eventually they stopped doing that. So if you went some period of time without using #GMail for example, you might have missed all of the banners. -

Hm. Apparently I cannot join https://sn.pztrn.name/group/xmpp. POST to https://sn.pztrn.name/main/salmon/group/122 returns 400 part way through the process.... -

#Google didn't so much shut down their !XMPP federation support as just stop maintaining it (which one could argue is actually worse); there's some info in "No, it's not the end of XMPP for Google Talk": http://xmpp.org/2015/03/no-its-not-the-end-of-xmpp-for-google-talk/ -

Wow—I could have sworn I was subscribed to the XMPP group.... I guess I must be remembering the identi.ca-hosted group of yore.... -

Didn't Google shut down their !XMPP federation when they started Hangouts? -

I think I'm switching to #Gajim for all my desktop #IM needs. And Transports in the XMPP server for everything that's not actually #XMPP! -

I don't know how it took me so long, but I'm finally realising how important #XEP-0280 is, too.... -

OK, I have realized how important it is to have an XMPP client that is "Messages carbon" compliant. Gajim and Xabber for the win -

Apparently I'm hosting the *national* !OSM birthday parties at this point? Mappers elsewhere in the US don't like #cake, or what? http://www.weeklyosm.eu/archives/7982 -

#FairPoint tells me that local #phone service is now taxed a rate of ~130%. #WTF. I guess the state and/or federal govt have #deprecated it? -

Now I need to find affordable "house phone" service.... -

Just signed up for #Comcast Business Internet service; since #FirstLight told me they don't want customers anymore, and #FairPoint *acts like* they never even wanted customers in the first place, this seems to be the only option left. -
