doing some ICQ research and I found that LICQ's homepage is still online, with zero hint that it hasn't been updated in 11 years:

@foone It's on the web: https://dflund.se/~pkj/
More specifically, https://dflund.se/~pkj/Projects.html links to https://dflund.se/~pkj/ICQServer.tgz.

I agree in principle, although as a vintage 20th-century programmer I don't know what half this stuff is.
But I'll tell you what I miss on phones and other locked-in devices: a shell prompt and full filesystem access.

@pzriddle @futurebird amusingly I'm using most of this for 20th century programming: as in, I'm hacking old 80s and 90s programs by using 2020s tools

@indigoparadox @foone not sure if shitpost or honest, but: there's a very good reason why there's no System64.

@foone Hey there, ICQ # 83277132 here. Sadly ICQ has been shut down on June, 26th, 2024. Used Miranda as a client replacement, maybe you can dig into their protocol implementation to find more hidden gems: https://github.com/miranda-ng/miranda-ng/blob/master/protocols/ICQCorp/src/protocol.cpp

@arndissler I know, I'm aiming for a much older version of the protocol, which hasn't been supported since 2000 or so
