> at the same time they'd read "multi-device" and be like "wow that would be cool, wish my messengers had that feature" lol Dont all messengers have that feature? Before coming to xmpp i never had that issue

Idk about those 2, fb messenger instagram dms and discord do
-
moparisthebest
facebook messenger is a webapp no ?
-
moparisthebest
also discord ? and instagram dms I suppose
-
moparisthebest
I wouldn't count a forum software as a multi-device messenger either
-
jonas’
even being a webapp, if it supports multi-device it counts ;)
-
scorch
Theres also an app for messenger
-
moparisthebest
"useable from a browser" is multi-device now? eh
-
scorch
They are mostly used as applications
-

moparisthebest, says the one who wants to run everything over port 443 :P
-
moparisthebest
what does that have to do with browsers ? :P
-
scorch
They are the mostpopular messengers where Im at
-
moparisthebest
if there's an open port, use it
-

moparisthebest, it's the same thing -- web taking over for being the web.
-

scorch, that's fair, I appreciate the input
-
scorch
> "useable from a browser" is multi-device now? eh Lmao with this logic xmpp wouldnt count either, because theres movim and converse

I just never thought about opening the same web page on multiple devices as being multi-device, cause really it's just accessing the server, which is 1 device
-
moparisthebest
but the more I thought about it, I'm not sure that distinction matters
-
moparisthebest
especially compared to actual single-device apps like whatsapp and signal etc, I hear these have desktop apps nowadays too but they go through your phone or something? crazy
-
scorch
well phone users don't open the webpage they use the application, which is probably built on electron sure but it still counts
-

> especially compared to actual single-device apps like whatsapp and signal etc, I hear these have desktop apps nowadays too but they go flow
-
scorch
they actually do that? bruh

Dunno how popular telegram is, globally, but I think its desktop client is pretty independent from its mobile one
-
rion
The connection there IIRC is the necessity to confirm from another device when you add desktop device via SMS or in-app code. And this another device is usually a mobile phone.

Telegram's UI is probably the best for a regular user IMO

> Telegram's UI is probably the best for a regular user IMO Until you want to share a file over the garden wall. This is where it abruptly stops being convenient and starts to hinder your every move

We had our first application for fiscal hosting :) I followed up and let them know their request would be considered and forwarded it to the board/treasurer.

Daniel
when i'm donating can I choose which project my donation should go to?
-
Daniel
that's probably the only way this would make sense but that has never been clear
-
Sam
Yes, you'd go directly to the project page and donate there. The fact that they store their money at the XSF is entirely transparent to you
-
Sam
I added an office hours for 05 October to show off the project and Open Collective and answer these sorts of questions as well; it should help us build an FAQ or something
-
Sam
(well, not entirely transparent, it lists that they use the XSF, but it's clear that you're donating to them, not the XSF, I should say)
-
Sam
It also lets you donate directly to the XSF though, which is a nice side effect since individuals couldn't do that before
-
Daniel
I see. I didn’t follow the whole thing too closely but there has been some vibe of "xsf receives large sum of money and redistrubutes that somehow"
-
Daniel
but maybe that has been entirely in my head
-
Sam
*nods* that's not good if I made it come off that way, sorry about that. It's more that small projects often don't want to go through the hassle of setting up a bank account or legal entity to hold money, if they're in line with the XSF's non-profit mission the XSF can now hold those funds for them. But they are still the projects funds donated by the projects donors.
