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

"useable from a browser" is multi-device now? eh
scorch
They are mostly used as applications
jonas’
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
jonas’
moparisthebest, it's the same thing -- web taking over for being the web.
moparisthebest
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
scorch
> scorch, that's fair, I appreciate the input
👍
moparisthebest
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
scorch
> 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

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

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.

when i'm donating can I choose which project my donation should go to?

that's probably the only way this would make sense but that has never been clear

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

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)

It also lets you donate directly to the XSF though, which is a nice side effect since individuals couldn't do that before

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.
