So, I haven't been able to connect to Facebook via my favorite chat program, Adium, for some time. It just asks for my password over and over, even when it's correct. I'd Googled the problem before and found no easy answers. I just thought something on my end was screwed up, or the app was broken and the developers weren't fixing it. I just downloaded a new version today, and the problem still persisted. Then I did some Googling and found a fix.
Guess what? You're not supposed to connect to Facebook using Facebook. You're supposed to use Jabber instead. This is apparently common knowledge. Then why keep the "Facebook" option around when it doesn't work? Probably just to screw with me, I guess.
Details are here.
