To understand how we can replace Google push notifications (FCM) with something open source and decentralized, we need to understand how they work and why they are needed in the first place. This talk explains the mechanics of push notifications and why, despite their potentially bad reputation, they are a more elegant solution than having every app maintain its own persistent server connection.
While open-source tools like microG can remove proprietary Google software from your Android phone, the actual notifications are still sent via Google's servers (Firebase Cloud Messaging).
UnifiedPush is a framework that allows push notifications to be delivered in a decentralized manner or through self-hosted servers. Numerous open-source Android apps already support UnifiedPush, including Tusky, Ltt.rs, Fedilab, DAVx⁵, Fennec, Element, and many more.
The presentation ends with a short demo on how to use UnifiedPush on Android.

This Epstein revelation will rock the Bitcoin World | BREAKING NEWS
I’m nervous that everyone online will have to ID verify due to this issue. I see that as one possible outcome that could help to prevent one problem but inadvertently cause more problems, especially for those living under authoritarian regimes or anyone who needs to remain anonymous online.

Bit rot is what happens when you look away. Dependencies go stale. Security vulnerabilities get discovered in packages you forgot you were using. The framework you built on releases a new major version with breaking changes. APIs you depend on deprecate endpoints. The ecosystem moves on, and your project stays frozen in time.

NOSTR does not eliminate the problems of online interaction. It replaces the problems of _centralized control _and platform/server dependency with the problems of absolute personal responsibility and conceptual complexity. It trades the risk of an admin's capriciousness for the risk of one's own human error. This is not a system designed for passive consumption; it is a toolkit for active and conscious digital citizenship, with all the power and danger that entails.
This text is a precious gem. Gets to unfold the powerful mechanics in motion on NOSTR, while keeping an eye on some of the fragilties present at present state of development.
Its core point highlighted here works as disclaimer and advertisement for both new comers to the protocol, to nostrers sometimes aware of just a narrow perspective of this socio-technical implementation and also to a broader public still outside nostr. But there is way more worth reading, specially design comparisons between social networks paradigms (a theme often overlooked among fediverse users discussions).

The northern lights may be seen in up to 20 states Thursday, Feb. 5, through Friday, Feb. 6, after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a geomagnetic storm watch, warning that minor G1-class event is likely when a coronal mass ejection (CME) is expected to graze Earth’s magnetic field.
The CME was launched into space from the sun by a powerful X8.3 class solar flare from sunspot AR4366 on Feb. 1 — the most intense solar event recorded in 2026 so far and one of six powerful X-flares this week. Most recently, Earth-orbiting satellites detected an X4.2 class solar flare on Feb. 4, making northern lights possible this weekend.

“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.” - Major General Smedley Butler, USMC (1935)

One internal Google presentation, which is undated, conceded that using YouTube for learning is hard because the platform is distracting and disorganized. It showed an example in which YouTube recommended “Will Ferrell Hilarious Acceptance Speech” from user “cocksandballs123” to someone who had searched for content about “linear equations.”
One internal November 2020 presentation slide said acclimating children to Google’s ecosystem in school would hopefully lead them to use its products as adults: “You get that loyalty early, and potentially for life.” Another undated slide deck suggested imagining a world where “Parents ask their children ‘Why aren’t you watching more YouTube?’” and “School Administrators shift budgets from Textbooks to YouTube subscriptions.”

The Epstein files are everything I expected and more. And the files that were released were but the tip of the iceberg.
It feels good to be in this state. And it's weird to admit that because the inspiration that led me to this flow state is pretty fucking dark. The bitcoin price is dumping. Many are surmising that we are at the beginning of a multi-year bear market. [Now playing: Mac Miller's The Spins] The Epstein files are everything I expected and more. And the files that were released were but the tip of the iceberg. There are a number of bitcoiners who have been caught in the inbox of the Rothschild's yeoman. Blockstream co-founders Adam Back and Austin Hill, the architect behind OP_CTV - Jeremy Rubin, Bryan Bishop, the MIT Media Labs (which is a weak bitcoin association if I'm being honest, they were always suspicious and this was identified by many bitcoiners soon after the Media Labs' founding), Pomp (?), the co-founders of Chaincode Labs, and others are all associated with the goyim disrespector, Jeffrey Epstein.

Monetary policy is presented as the solution to inflation and economic instability. Yet inflation and instability arise precisely because the monetary unit is expandable. The same mechanism that distorts price signals and generates cycles is then used to justify further intervention. This creates a closed logical loop. The policy claims necessity by responding to problems it systematically creates.
This can be expressed formally in simple terms. Let M represent the total quantity of money and Y represent real economic output. The general level of prices P is proportional to the ratio between these two quantities. When the money supply expands faster than real output, prices rise. This is not the result of speculation, greed or market failure. It is the direct consequence of changing the denominator of the measurement scale. If the denominator of the scale were fixed, the natural outcome would be falling prices.

But this became instantly obvious when (nearly) the first slide during the Opening Remarks shouted loudly: "Open Source has always been political". The emotional introduction instantly brought home what Open Source is really about: Activism to break the chains of "big tech". Although big tech wasn't so big when they started the conference over 25 years ago, it is now more required than ever.
So does this mean that there is a chance that if your FOSS project is not political or too much aligned with a certain political agenda, is not welcome at the FOSDEM conference?
Is FOSDEM an open to anyone conference with this statement?
