* Introduction
The following applications are not really needed. I alternate between trying to /stay in Emacs/ taking advantage of the consistent interface, and simply using a stand-alone app on my Workday computer.
** Twitter
The venerable [[https://github.com/hayamiz/twittering-mode/tree/master][twittering-mode]] allows me to follow all the twits.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (use-package twittering-mode
    :init
    (setq twittering-use-master-password t
          epa-pinentry-mode 'loopback)
    :config
    (defalias 'epa--decode-coding-string 'decode-coding-string))
#+END_SRC
** Telega
I'm thinking the [[https://zevlg.github.io/telega.el/][Telega package]] would be better than Bitlbee for Telegram communication.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
(use-package telega
  :commands (telega)
  :defer t)
#+END_SRC
For some reason, you need [[https://github.com/Fanael/rainbow-identifiers][rainbow-identifiers]] to work, oh, I guess the docs state this.

*Note:* Turning this off as it needs version 1.7.7 of =tdlib=, and that isn't easily available on my Mac. Maybe I may enable this on my Linux system.

Let's =provide= a name so we can =require= this file:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports none
  (provide 'ha-aux-apps)
  ;;; ha-aux-apps.el ends here
  #+END_SRC
