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
Syndace
as someone said earlier, if you're scared and don't understand something, you probably click "cancel"
moparisthebest
Syndace: it won't let you send anything, that's the correct behavior
Syndace
Oh, that dialogue reappears until you click disable?
moparisthebest
We have years of evidence that falling back to unencrypted is bad
moparisthebest
ISPs strip STARTLS all the time for example
vanitasvitaehas joined
Syndace
not talking about silent fallback
moparisthebest
Yep @ dialog reappearing
Syndace
Okay, that makes things a bit better.
Syndace
But it's not really "falling back" to plaintext if there never was an encrypted chat in the first place
Syndace
I think "force encryption" should be an opt-in setting

It's opt out now in conversations
moparisthebest
I think that's the correct choice

I would agree if the message was a bit friendlier for non-it people
Syndace
A message that does not make you click cancel because you don't understand what's going on
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
lorddavidiiihas left
Seve
I was quite surprised, as they said they were going to use Matrix. Or maybe both come with it?
edhelas
looks like both
edhelas
but with libpurple I don't expect to have a modern XMPP experience as well…

maybe somebody should sacrifice themselves and bring libpurple to a reasonable level?
Zash
Crowdsource some monies for it?

I'm starting to think that's the only answer (fixing Pidgin/libpurple)
kasper.dementhas joined
Zash
I've been semi-seriously thinking that a while myself.
Ge0rG
Maybe that's a job for a student who's using Pidgin anyway already?

jonasw: being a student doesn't magically stop with a master's degree. You are still tainted by the attitude.

I'm guessing they did research before using libpurple.
What does libpurple offer that other libraries don't?
