    After I said bye to everyone night one, I left to head back to the Boiling the Ocean flavored AirBnB (what a sentence) and got to talk @cas and @tbernard and crew about some of the happenings in the @postmarketOS and @gnome worlds.

    @Edent i consider bug reports and feedback to be important contributions, and I've contributed a fair amount of both to other projects over the years, but I never expected credit from doing so and would probably decline if offered. it hasn't come up in my own foss projects, but I'd be happy to add sections to the credits for community QA and playtesting for folks who give quality bug reports and substantial feedback.

    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.

    @bagder well, I'll watch the talk and keep an open mind but I remain skeptical. LLMs feel like a dead end technology.
