This is a fork of the original Adium (source) that revives and modernizes it for current macOS. It began as an Apple Silicon (arm64) port, as the original is an Intel-only binary from 2021. Since then much has changed: WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal and Microsoft Teams arrived next to the classic services that stood the test of time, encrypted voice and video calls over XMPP, full Dark Mode, replies straight from Notification Center banners, a rebuilt System Settings-style preferences window, a WKWebView message view, and a long list of fixes for how modern macOS behaves.
This is something I've had a problem with as well on my late 2016 13" MBP, 2 usb-c port model. I have two external drives that I sync via rsync occasionally (1 local, 1 offsite). No matter what type of dongle I use, one of the disks always ejects shortly after beginning the rsync. Even with the Apple dongle, when I plug in one of the external disks via usb-a, and plug my usb-c power to the dongle, then plug in the 2nd external disk directly to the only other usb-c on the mac, it fails every time.
What I have been doing instead is unplugging the power cord and syncing the disks while running on battery. This seems to work, but the odd thing here is that about 50% of the time when I do this I lose my wifi connection as soon as I begin the rsync from disk to disk. Nothing I can do makes the network work again until after I unmount the external disks.
Having only two ports on the computer, one of which is also used for power, has turned out to be far more annoying than I imagined.
