    flow: if you encounter an element that's marked as critical, and that you don't know, you engage the airbags and make the computer explode

    flow, it came up the other day, and I’m still playing with the thought. It *could* be useful for entities to (a) learn that the peer who received the message cannot deal with an extension and (b) for the recipient of such a message (generalized, could be an IQ or a presence or whatever) to show an indiciator, e.g. if it’s received in the context of a 1:1 conversation

    Kind of a large shift to move away from ignoring what you don't understand

  90. ralphm

    This

  91. ralphm

    IMNSHO client and feature/protocol developers should include fallback behaviour in their design.

  92. lovetox

    whats the fallback for chatstates? :D

  93. lovetox

    i think its a failed approach to say everything needs a fallback

  94. Kev

    The fallback for chatstates is not rendering chatstates.

  95. Kev

    The fallback for most things is ignoring them.

  96. lovetox

    there are things where it makes sense, and there are things where the client just ignores it

  97. Kev

    In fact the majority of fallbacks are probably ignoring them.

  98. lovetox

    yeah if you consider ignoring a fallback, then im fine with it

  99. Kev

    Ignoring as a fallback has worked well for most things over the last 20 years.

  100. lovetox

    i agree, although im not on board for 20 years :D

  101. Kev

    Nor me, only 18.

  102. lovetox

    regarding having a body fallback for reactions, i can see both sides, but i find it unlikely that somebody uses a legacy client for very important conversations and depends on that new clients send a body fallback

  103. Daniel

    Seeing how very much annoying message correction is in clients that don't support it (looking at you Dino) I can only imagine that reactions with fallbackswill be much much more annoying once a popular client has support for it and people start using it

  106. Kev

    It's taking the piss, but it's genuinely going to be like that.

  107. Kev

    And assuming we take this as the new model, it'll continue long beyond when 'all' clients support reactions.

  108. Kev

    And, of course, you'll never be able to stop supporting old versions, or it'll start getting worse again.

    But another choice for reactions could be not having a fallback body. Yes, non-supporting clients wouldn't see anything. Not sure if that's bad.

  158. marc_ has left

  159. MattJ

    Even if a client wanted to not show the fallback, but otherwise not show reactions, that would be trivial to implement

  160. flow

    I think it is. But I also believe the whole discussion is mostly pointless as we do not have any implementation experience, is heavily dependent on the personal taste and you can't forbid clients developers to add a fallback body (even if the XEP states so)

  161. marc_ has joined

  162. flow

    also I think it is trivial for clients to not show fallback bodies if the XEP is designed right

  163. flow

    i.e. messages with fallback bodies will also have that special extension element

    Indeed

  172. lovetox

    flow, fallback is for clients that dont get updated

  173. lovetox

    a client who gets updated, just ignores evey message that has the reactions namespace

  174. lovetox

    no need for fallback

  175. lskdjf has joined

  176. rion has joined

  177. larma

    a client that gets updated can also produce the fallback body on their side for incoming messages. So if you'd want to annoy pidgin users, you could have libpurple render the reactions fallback body even if there was none transmitted on the wire 😉

    > also I think it is trivial for clients to not show fallback bodies if the XEP is designed right This is the minimum I will insist on. But given that, I think that annoying legacy users is less bad than silently leave them out of the conversation.

  197. Kev

    I think the 'legacy users' thing is fallacious.

  198. Kev

    If I implement this this afternoon, everyone in here other than me is a 'legacy user', and will start getting annoyed.

  199. jubalh has joined

  200. Ge0rG

    Kev: yaxim is implementing the suggested quoting format for a year or so now, and emoji on their own line will be displayed in 6x size. Nobody complained about that so far.

  201. Kev

    And then I start developing a new extension that does similar things, so do the same, and not only is everyone else a legacy user, but there's no spec yet for them to implement. So if we believe that it would be 'annoying' to 'legacy users', that means it's annoying to current users too.

  202. Kev

    If we believe it's not annoying, that's a different thing (I don't currently see how it could not be annoying, but it would be a different thing).

  213. Ge0rG

    Even if we believe that it's annoying, we need to weigh between the right of legacy users to participate and the importance of reactions. That said, annoying them is probably a very good way to increase the pressure on the respective client authors.

  214. jubalh has left

  215. Zash

    It can easily backfire into "xmpp sucks" tho

  216. Kev

    Assuming that users have control over which clients they use is fine in the personal-user-on-the-Internal case (mostly), but not in many other environments, but you still might get interactions with other clients. I don't believe we can reasonably have a policy of "Inconvenience people who don't support feature X so that they upgrade".

  217. Zash

    Kev "This message is encrypted but your client sucks, switch or GTFO"

  218. Kev

    Idd.

  219. Ge0rG

    Kev: my humble opinion is that it's much more annoying to learn, by accident, after the fact, that you missed out on a part of the conversation.

  220. Nekit has left

  221. Kev

    Maybe <fallback>...</fallback> is the least bad option. It's a bootstrap problem for now, but in the future we could rely on it.

  222. Zash

    How is that different from body?

  223. Nekit has joined

  224. Kev

    It doesn't get shown in the conversation flow automatically.

  225. Ge0rG

    what would <fallback> be good for, then?

  226. Ge0rG

    For the clients that implement the XEP but decide to not show the actual reaction?

  227. Ge0rG

    So they can show the ugly <fallback> text element?

  228. Kev

    Assuming <fallback/> to be be a generic fallback mechanism, It'd allow a client to alert the user that there are parts of the content that they're missing.

  229. Kev

    While not flooding the log with potentially more meaningless reactions than there is message content.

  230. Zash

    Like EME but generic?

  231. Kev

    EME?

  232. Zash

    Encrypted Message Eeeeeh, what was it?

  233. Ge0rG

    Element?

  234. Zash

    XEP-0380: Explicit Message Encryption

  235. Kev

    Kinda, ish.

  236. Zash

    So a generic variant of this would be "this message won't make sense unless you understand feature x"

  237. Kev

    Or, rather, "If you don't understand this element, the meaning is X", I think.

  238. Ge0rG

    Would that be just a tag, or an actual text element?

  239. Kev

    But I could imagine a client saying "This chat contains content that Swift can't render: 5000 messages containing [An emoji reaction to a previous message]" or something, where the [] has come from the <fallback/>.

  240. Ge0rG

    also it can't be inside of the non-supported element, because it's not supported, so it needs to be outside, and have the ns of the non-supported element as an attribute, because a message can contain multiple fallbacks.

  241. Ge0rG

    It's all a PITA

  242. Zash

    How is saying that better than just having some fallback "foo reacted with bar" in body?

  243. Kev

    Zash: Because that's one message rendered in an info box somewhere outside the log, rather than 5000 messages inside the message box preventing you seeing the 1000 messages of content.

  244. Ge0rG

    Speaking of which. This MUC mostly contains irrelevant presence changes.

  245. Zash

    And can't you do this any time you see a message with unknownnamespaces?

  246. Kev

    Ge0rG: Yes. Imagine if your client was showing each of those to you because it didn't understand they were presence updates, it'd be insufferable.

  247. alameyo has left

  248. alameyo has joined

  249. Kev

    Zash: You can warn that there's content you don't understand, but not know whether it's interesting content, or what the content represents.

  250. Ge0rG

    Kev: my client does understand that, but fails to aggregate / hide them in a meaningful way.

  251. Kev

    Talk to your client author :)

  252. Ge0rG

    Because apparently, you can't force client authors to do useful things.

  253. Kev

    Swift hides updates other than joins/parts, and even those it condenses in a (hopefully) smart way.

  254. Kev

    And even that I'm considering dropping.

  255. Ge0rG

    It's something that's actually useful for admins, and for when you are writing a message to somebody who just disappeared.

  256. Kev

    The join/part, yes. Which is why I'm only considering dropping, rather than having actually done so :)

  257. Zash

    Someone who was recently active (sent messages) leaving is more interesting than some idling and then dropping out, right?

  258. Kev

    Depends entirely on the situation, I think.

    Only show the leave if a message by that person is visible on screen. The next logical step is to add a presence indicator to that message.

    Also want to note that MIX would handle these cases better in sense that you can choose to not subscribe or display certain streams.

  292. adityaborikar has left

  293. adityaborikar has joined

  294. Ge0rG

    Like the Emoji Reactions stream?

  295. ralphm

    I can see a use for an explicit fallback element. That said, I'm also curious about stanzas with more than one namespaced element.

  296. ralphm

    Ge0rG: I suppose that would be a very decent idea. However, then you'd have different handling for one-on-one chats.

  297. ralphm

    I meant presence and join/leave above.

  298. Alex has left

  299. Ge0rG

    Yeah, got that.

  300. Chobbes has left

  301. ralphm

    I don't think doing reactions over pubsub for one-on-one chats is a good idea. But then, having both options for MIX would suck.

  302. rion

    Isn't xmpp going to fully migrate to pubsub?

  303. ralphm

    So I'm tempted to say: don't put reactions in a separate stream. Unless we have multiple streams that are delivered with regular message stanzas, and I don't like that either.

  304. ralphm

    rion: going strong since 2004

  305. ralphm

    Eh 2002 I mean

  306. xnamed has joined

  307. ralphm

    rion: seriously though, something like reactions is likely considered part of a conversation. Taking it "out" by using pubsub events breaks that.

  308. Steve Kille has left

  309. ralphm

    Unlike, say, a stream of code commits, the tunes you are playing, or news flashes.

  310. ralphm

    If I'd work on Slack, for example, I'd build something that takes such streams out of the channel, and move them to the side bar.

  311. ralphm

    However, you could still start a thread from such notifications, e.g. causing the commit with comments to become embedded in the chat stream.

    Hello, I'm currently developing a little XMPP admin helper app for Android and now I want to make a icon... I have an Idea involving the XMPP Logo but a) I'm not sure if I can modify it so that it fits in the Icon context and b) how I have to meantion that it's based on the XMPP Logo wich is as Wikipedia tells me under MIT... (My app is btwe under GPLv3)

    j.r, re licensing, you'd just need to mention somewhere in your COPYING file or README that you're using the XMPP logo with license XYZ and put the license there. If it's really MIT, I don't know, you'll have to copy that specific version of the license, because the copyright line is also part of the license and that makes MIT things somewhat unique

  450. pep.

    Also if it's MIT then you can of course reuse/modify/etc. etc.

  451. j.r

    pep., ok so I just have to find the license put it into my readme and I'm good to go?

  452. pep.

    IANAL, but that's generally how it works :)

  453. pep.

    Maybe it's even in the file itself. Is it an svg you got?

  454. pep.

    hmm no it's not in the one from xmpp.org. Too bad

  455. pep.

    hmm, CI for xmpp.org is borked. There's a PR to fix it: https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/595, is anything blocking for it?

  456. pep.

    If it's blocking on editor(s) not having time (which I'm not blaming him for), I'll rush my application for that. Where do I send my resume again?
