[11:44] <enyc> Mekaneck: =) thankyou for arranging that.
[11:44] <enyc> freenode scandals continue unabated...
[14:21] <Mekaneck> enyc: you're welcome :)
[14:24] <enyc> Mekaneck: raises interesting questions  what irc-clients  installed with (or installable on)  ubuntu-MATE  set default irc-server to point to freenode...
[14:24] <Mekaneck> hmmm... that i don't know
[14:33] <enyc> Mekaneck: can you check?  probably simple bug reports to create as-needbe
[14:38] <Mekaneck> i'm not using Ubuntu Mate
[14:41] <enyc> I'm suspecting ubuntu-mate somewhat falling out of fashion
[14:42] <enyc> linuxmint-mate seems more popular mate-variant  and then  machines changed and so on  so less needde niche if i'm not mistaken but there we go
[14:42] <Mekaneck> But iirc Hexchat is pointing towards freenode, maybe they'll change it to Libera for the 21.10 release
[14:43] <enyc> Mekaneck: hrrm not clear what files it uses to do that may need invistigcaiton ;p
[14:55] <alkisg> The welcome screen "chat room" button links to "wimpy's world on discord"
[14:55] <alkisg> hexchat doesn't seem preinstalled anymore, in 21.04
[15:13] <enyc> alkisg: ok but was in 20.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS installs?

[15:19] <alkisg> It's there in 16.04, not in 18.04 or 20.04
[15:19] <alkisg> (meh matrix thinks # is "header")
