Everything on the left (except Tux) is terrible today and that's fine, things evolve. It would be fun to see modern versions of each of those logos though.

I was so in love with Pidgin for a while that I even made a mock-up for how to improve it. I think I still have blog posts up about it.

Including Tux, they look like they’re from the 90s (probably because they are). I’m glad we don’t see much of the branding mascots anymore, even Tux isn’t really heard of now.

All the mascots retired into SuperTuxKart.

Firefox 3 was published in 2008. This post is 16 years old.

Gnu, Firefox, and gcc are not terrible

I still use pidgin and finch.... They're admittedly wonky but the only way I've figured out how to get a lightweight client for m$ teams (need for work..)

I think they just meant the logos are terrible, rather than the software

I used pidgin all the time about 10 years ago for MSN. Has it changed?

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago

I love pidgin, I'd still use it if they'd support OMEMO, OTR being outdated and all.
