✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Accounts configuration dialog for Empathy instant messaging client

so basically, this utility lets you configure your instant messaging accounts for Empathy. that's the main character energy right there — you run it, it helps you set up your accounts, you go chat. the way that this is literally just a friendly little dialog launcher and nothing more dramatic than that?? obsessed. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --hidden — don't display any dialogs at all. do whatever work there is to do (for example, importing) and then exit. like, sneaky mode. no windows, no popups, just vibes and then bye 👋
• -n, --if-needed — don't display any dialogs if there are any non-salut accounts. so if you've already got real accounts in there, she stays quiet. lowkey polite of her ngl
• -s account-id, --select-account=account-id — initially select the given account. here's the example from the page so you know what an account id actually looks like:

gabble/jabber/foo_40example_2eorg0

yes that's the format, don't come for me, just copy it exactly bestie 😭
