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:

ADL is going to fund their defense I bet.
His girl’s boyfriend probably doesn’t wear any kind of protection either.
A French court in Nîmes ordered that a wind farm be dismantled over the death of a golden eagle and more than 1000 other birds.

One of the most annoying lies is the claim that "wind farms don't really matter for the damage caused to animals, as cats, vehicles and buildings kill far more of them".

Cats kill sparrows, not golden eagles!

Wind turbines slaughter raptors.

They also massacre trillions of insects, according to a German study.

And they murder bats, because the pressure they create destroys their echo sensor.
