@nprofile1q... Hold on, this isn't fair. Now I really want to check this out and you say it isn't released yet? 😡

Just promise to boost your post when it is ready to be used. 😃

@nprofile1q... I don't see much wiggle-room for improvement if it is not clear how it works under the hood.

Ideally encryption feels almost imperceptible, and needs a mere indication on the side, but I guess the UX work won't be to GET THERE – but is to make the emerging pain points more bearable. 😂

I think the UX you would want to improve is connected more with the FEP itself than any UI concerns. Depending on what they come up with you'll be free to do what you want – or deal with strange constraints. (Key handling seems to be the arch enemy of UX in encryption if you ask me :P)

@nprofile1q... I'm pessimistic up to the point where you have to have to assume it will fail completely. Just as XMPP and MAIL failed.

The only encryption implementation with success were the approaches where the UX can be controlled centrally.

For MAIL there is #autocrypt now, it is astonishing of good it is – but email is still not encypted today.

XMPP/Jabber has OMEMO, but stillt struggles with client adoption and it isn't omnipresent.

Where it worked: #DeltaChat and #Signal both using a central library that can make sure encryption reliably lands at peoples fingertips.

@nprofile1q... Interesting, seeing how other protocols got burned by adding encryption as an afterthought (XMPP, MAIL) I think we are still very very far away from having something comprehensive, reliable and usable. Unless that's a reality I'd shy away from promoting it unnecessarily loud. 🤷‍♂️

Encryption rocks though. I hope that FEP has lots of traction.

@nprofile1q... Don't really need encryption just for the DM edge-case. I only need to know where/for who exactly my message will pop up automatically, though.

Suggesting "encryption" exists in mastodon, how can one make sure it is interoperable with ActivityPub AND nobody gets it wrong and falsely assumes encryption is omnipresent, when it is absolutely not.

@nprofile1q... what is your final goal with that project?

@nprofile1q... oh so you place the sounds in a 3d space physically correct (alternating left/right offset) and so on?

@nprofile1q... procedural how? are you saying there are no sound files involved?

@nprofile1q... I appreciate that reminder. My impression is that most knowledgeable people see e-mail as a burden loaded technology in every possible way. When in fact it probably is orders of magnitude lighter than matrix or xmpp or … Signal. 😛

@nprofile1q... Thanks for posting on peertube 😊
