This week's donation went to the XMPP Standards Foundation. They support the software and services behind the XMPP network protocol. If you've never heard of XMPP it is a messaging protocol that is a more privacy and security friendly alternative to options like SMS, WhatsApp, etc. The architecture of the XMPP network is similar to email; anyone can run their own XMPP server and there is no central master server. This federated open system approach allows users to interoperate with others on any server using a 'JID' user account, similar to an email address. Various ways to secure trhe emssages on XMPP exist such as OMEMO and OpenPGP.




The main website for the project is here:

https://xmpp.org/




The foundation's source code is on Github:

The project has a presense on Mastodon and it's Youtube account can be accessed on Invidous:

By definition it is but at the same time good for them and I wish my country would do similar steps.

ADL is going to fund their defense I bet.

I figured he was talking about a boyfriend until he said otherwise.

His girl’s boyfriend probably doesn’t wear any kind of protection either.
