XSF Discussion - 2018-08-10


  1. Syndace

    If there is no device list there is literally no way to send encrypted messages. I have no idea what conversations even sends in that case. A message only with the "your client does not support omemo" message? It should not ask to disable, but rather simply tell the user that encryption is impossible and switch to plaintext.

    No buttons that helpless users have to decide between

  5. Syndace

    as someone said earlier, if you're scared and don't understand something, you probably click "cancel"

  6. moparisthebest

    Syndace: it won't let you send anything, that's the correct behavior

  7. Syndace

    Oh, that dialogue reappears until you click disable?

  8. moparisthebest

    We have years of evidence that falling back to unencrypted is bad

  9. moparisthebest

    ISPs strip STARTLS all the time for example

  10. vanitasvitae has joined

  11. Syndace

    not talking about silent fallback

  12. moparisthebest

    Yep @ dialog reappearing

  13. Syndace

    Okay, that makes things a bit better.

  14. Syndace

    But it's not really "falling back" to plaintext if there never was an encrypted chat in the first place

  15. Syndace

    I think "force encryption" should be an opt-in setting

  16. Holger has left

  17. Dave Cridland has left

  18. moparisthebest

    It's opt out now in conversations

  19. moparisthebest

    I think that's the correct choice

  20. jjrh has left

  21. Syndace

    I would agree if the message was a bit friendlier for non-it people

  22. Syndace

    A message that does not make you click cancel because you don't understand what's going on

  23. Syndace

    But it's okay I guess, my initial rage was a bit too much

    Hi. I don't think OMEMO by default is a good choice as long as 1) there is no full stanza encryption and 2) it's not at least in draft. But the situation is difficult, for a messenger where one of the main goal is security, the choice of Conversation is understandable.

    so looks like the futur Librem5 phone will have XMPP shipped in, using the libpurple library

  167. lorddavidiii has left

  168. Seve

    I was quite surprised, as they said they were going to use Matrix. Or maybe both come with it?

  169. edhelas

    looks like both

  170. edhelas

    but with libpurple I don't expect to have a modern XMPP experience as well…

    Crowdsource some monies for it?

    I'm starting to think that's the only answer (fixing Pidgin/libpurple)

  202. kasper.dement has joined

  203. Zash

    I've been semi-seriously thinking that a while myself.

  204. Ge0rG

    Maybe that's a job for a student who's using Pidgin anyway already?
