chatty 0.3.0 blocks Pidgin from running at all on amd64

for the same reason as in ticket: #501

Chatty is set to be enabled by default on amd64, meaning libpurple is always initialized by default on start by chatty first, so if you try to start pidgin you will get:

joao@librem:~$ pidgin
Exiting because another libpurple client is already running.

To be able to run pidgin you have to do the following workaround:

killall chatty; pidgin

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
