Hello

On the Gajim GIT server, I got an error message on the issues list. "An error occurred while getting issue counts"

seb: the server goes down pretty often but it seems to be working now

Yep, it restart automatically

> pidgin 3 soon umu: it's "soon" for kinda 8 years already. Why are you sure about that?

they actually started working on it lately

wonder if there will be a time where we actually say its ok to use pidgin

for xmpp that is

It's already okay and valid to use *any* XMPP client. Even such simplistic as sendxmpp.

It's always been ok to use pidgin. It's just not great

pidgin is pretty good same with libpurple

umu, in which ways?

you actually dont need pidgin to use libpurple contrary to popular belief

Link Mauve, libpurple is has a considerate design as to not be tied to just one protocol

It’s actually quite tied to how AIM represents things.

well it even supports icq

which i need to use sometimes

Its support for legacy protocols doesn’t mean it is a good library, for XMPP it is a terrible one.

for xmpp yeah

but

my grandma knows how to use it because its familiar

umu, you mean she uses libpurple to develop clients or such?

no just the interface is easy to use for her

Ah you mean Pidgin’s?

ye

You’re switching subjects here.

wym

We were talking about libpurple just before.

Also, you should bring that to xmpp:devel@conference.pidgin.im?join or to an offtopic room, this is completely unrelated to Gajim.

(I forgot to check where we were before replying.)

Let me duplicate here: Does Gajim jingle file transfer work with conversations? For me it lets me choose the device to send it to, then begins sending, then fails. After a restart, the "send file directly" is greyed out for that contact.

That's a on a vanilla build.

Both on master and the archlinux package.

> Does Gajim jingle file transfer work with conversations? Not sure if it works. But from the xsf channel today: > hm, nothing which is jingle really works in Gajim

yeah I just wonder how much that encompassed

Does conversations even support it nowadays? Is it even something we want to support? Honestly my only encounter with jingle file transfer was that time I read it leaked ip addresses on tor on smth and was not encrypted whatsoever ✏

> and was not encrypted whatsoever Seems to not be the case for conversations, I think https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/omemo-filetransfer.html
