UnifiedPush has already been around for five years! Now is the perfect time to look back and forward.

Na Stravě jsem od roku 2015.
Placený účet jsem měl dva roky — tehdy mi přišel zbytečný.
Dneska je zbytečná free verze.
Bez předplatného je to už jen upload dat s oranžovým logem.
Ani segmenty už ve free verzi nejsou.
Kdybych tam neměl roky historie, ten účet bych dneska zrušil. 🚴♂️🥲 #strava
@cynik_obecny Já je měl a už bych do nich nešel.
Jak nemají tlačítka, tak ukončit běh se zpocenýma rukama byla tragédie –
lovit prstem po displeji, aby se aktivita zastavila.
Jinak jsou Apple Watch super.
@cynik_obecny Jo, to už je v pohodě — automatické zastavení fungovalo dobře.
Co mě ale fakt štvalo, byla výdrž. Přijel jsem z práce a hodinky šly skoro hned na nabíječku.
Maraton bych v nich tehdy asi ani nedal.
Ale jak jsem psal, byla to druhá verze hodinek.
Už je to minimálně 10 let 😄

@cynik_obecny Jojo, úplně to vidím doma:
„Nutně potřebuju nový iPhone a Apple Watch, chci teď začít víc běhat.“ 😇
A aby to nevypadalo podezřele…
přibal k tomu rovnou AirPods Pro 3, ať je ta motivace kompletní 😂
Can someone explain why the announcement for Team Canada Owelympic Hockey roster is done in Minneapolis??????? Did I miss the memo about the new province of Minnesota?

As Bulgaria is joining the Eurozone tonight, the following changes have been applied in Liberapay.
- The Bulgarian lev (BGN) has disappeared from donation forms.
- All existing donations and scheduled payments in that currency have been converted to the Euro.
- All accounts which had the lev as their main currency have been switched to the Euro.
Congratulations to Bulgaria, and happy new year to everyone!
Me: "Hey Fedi. What is 1+2?"
Fedi: "You should use base ten!"
Fedi: "Don't trust numbers!"
Fedi: "Why not 2-1 eh? Why are you discriminating against the minus symbol?"
Fedi: "Well actually..."
Me: 😮💨
Aus meiner Sicht ist der #DIday von @marcuwekling eine sehr gute Gelegenheit, das #Fediverse für den Mainstream-Diskurs relevanter zu machen – und damit die Gesellschaft unabhängiger von X, Insta, TikTok etc.
Das ist aber kein Selbstläufer, sondern braucht Aktivismus. Ein sehr wichtiger Hebel sind naheliegenderweise Multiplikator:innen, z.B. Streamer oder Youtuber. Um diese fürs Fediverse zu gewinnen, könnte dedizierte Crowd-Lobby-Arbeit helfen, also z.B. Koordiniert Kommentare schreiben und hochvoten oder das Fediverse in den Commuity-Discord-Servern thematisieren.
Alleine macht das weder Sinn noch Spaß, darum habe ich mal eine Signal Gruppe gegründet. Wer mitmachen will ist herzlich willkommen.

Ich glaube wir brauchen unsere eigenen (PeerTube) streamer und video creator. Die Leute gehen dahin wo der (exklusive) content ist.
Ohne recommdation algorithm ist es aber extrem schwer sich hier eine audience aufzubauen und der wird teilweise auch aktiv abgelehnt.

Most developers open Chrome DevTools, check a couple of network requests, maybe refresh the page once or twice — and that's it. I used to do the same. Over time, DevTools became something else entirely for me.Web Performance Calendar
As 2025 comes to a close, we’re proud to reflect on a remarkable year for the GNOME community, one defined by innovation, global collaboration, and meaningful contributions from around the world.
# Major Software Milestone:
Our releases represent six months of dedicated work by our vibrant community.
• GNOME LATAM 2025 Aguascalientes, Mexico: our LATAM community organised their annual conference. A space dedicated to collaboration, learning and discussion of Open Source in LATAM.
These gatherings fueled collaboration, nurtured new contributors, and helped shape the roadmap for future GNOME releases and initiatives.
# Thank You to Our Global Community
None of this progress would be possible without our contributors, volunteers, organizers, and users, including developers, designers, translators, mentors, and advocates.
Your passion and commitment to free software continue to drive GNOME forward.
Here’s to an even more innovative and inclusive 2026!

I tried to enable the #GNOME screen reader (aka orca) to test the #accessibility of some application.
I have little experience with screen readers, but the GNOME experience after enabling the screen reader appears to be super bad. I can barely understand the voice. The speech synthesis is horrible, I have heard better in the 90s.
Is this the expected state of free software screen readers? How can I get something usable?
@menelion it really sounds like that you need to use commercial systems if you have to rely on a screen reader. In all honesty I had expected the situation to be better in the free software world. Not necessarily great, but at least somewhat usable.
As it stands out of the box you are basically lost. At best you need someone with vision and a lot of Linux administration experience to set something workable up for you. At least that's the impression I got.

@menelion Thanks for the nice words. The article was very interesting. It even seems things have gotten worse in some areas.
To be honest, I can understand how especially screen reader accessibility is rather difficult for developers not currently affected by accessibility issues.
I have some experience with it from years ago, but not much. But I try to learn and improve.

Question to screen reader users, just because I'm curious:
If I write using the occasional homophone, perhaps to make a pun, is that something that is completely lost to you, unless something clues you in to the fact that there might be spelling shenanigans going on?
For example, if I had posted the other day, "I can't wait to see Santa's slay!", would you just have assumed that that last word was "sleigh", and never noticed that it was "slay"? #accessibility #ScreenReaders
On this last day of the year, I want to congratulate France for its termination of the ARENH law 🥳
This law, in full "Accès régulé à l'électricité nucléaire historique" or "Regulated access to historic nuclear electricity" was a law that was introduced in 2010 by the then French government under president Sarkozy, that ostensibly aimed to introduce an "energy market" in France.
It worked like this: EDF was forced to make available 100 TWh annually to third party companies that could buy this for a mere 4 cents per kWh. These companies then sold it for "market prices" to consumers. You'd be correct to think that this was a massive forced subsidy by EDF to create its own competition.
To add insult to injury EDF was then forced to buy back the energy that these companies couldn't sell, 𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴.
Over the period that this law was in effect, from July 2011 to today, EDF accrued tens of billions of debt. Now that this law is expiring EDF can finally raise their prices, from 4 to 7 cents per kWh, and start investing again in new nuclear builds and pay off that debt.
It is perhaps hard to ascertain the intent of the lawmakers back in 2010, but this type of law would be ideal if you wanted to kill the nuclear sector, which almost succeeded!
Fortunately, this nightmare is now over and we now live in a world where the French value their nuclear assets and are set to expand it by building up to 14 more large reactors in the coming years.
Adieu ARENH 👋
More info on this law:

Le dispositif de l’accès régulé à l’électricité nucléaire historique (ARENH) a été instauré par la loi n° 2010-1488 du 7 décembre 2010 portant nouvelle organisation du marché de l’électricité (dite loi « NOME »).CRE
The whole point of society - all of this - is so that we are all enriched together, that collectively our lives should be better. We invented farms so folks wouldn’t starve.
But a couple thousand years ago a few assholes decided that personal enrichment is the most important thing. For the most part, we’re still going along with that bullshit.
The only way we survive is if we move back to shared enrichment. This coming year, think carefully about how you’re spending your money and labor.

in reply to S1m • • •I always wanted to add push support to #Conversations_im. I think a federated instant messenger is a natural fit because you get the decentralization and the connection for free. And adding it to the messenger is also what Google did with gtalk.
So I was very happy that I found #UnifiedPush as a quasi standard when I finally got around to implement it.
Thank you for your for work!
