Facebook contacts stopped to work

Matrix43:
I confirm this error, it still occurs, I started a topic in the Polish section and even after several updates of the Facebbok plug-in, the errors did not disappear.




I hope I didn't make any mistakes when writing the message in English

What do miranda developers use?   I thought Facebook had pretty much monopolized all the old IM programs that have disappeared over the years.   I wouldnt use FB either if I had a choice but all my contacts have moved to it.   Now I can't message any of them in Miranda and I have yet to find a decent replacement for the desktop. It seems like the official FB messenger is designed for phones.  It takes up a huge footprint on the desktop to the point you might just as well keep FB open in a browser. Which is probably what they want.

Telegram, Jabber, VK.
VK is much more popular in Russia than Facebook, access to which, in addition, has been blocked for two years.

The main problem right now is that there are no other open source applications that we can look into to figure out how to implement encryption support.

If I understand correctly, there is no way to repair this plug-in at the moment. So we'll have to wait a long time before you figure out the encryption.

If they ever can.  If there are no other open-source applications that can do it, it would make it extremely difficult.  It's a shame.  Miranda and now NG have been slowly dying for a long time beause of all the IM programs disappearing.  As I mentioned, Facebook now has the lion's share of users of those programs.  The official facebook messenger app is horrible for a PC but there doesn't appear to be anything else.
