#UnifiedPush is on everybody's lips when it comes to #decentralization or #deGoogle or wanting to cut off #BigTech from your live.

It doesn't take much to close things here. This place doesn't know how to deal.

In 2001, we got several inches over the morning period when school buses were picking kids up from school, but they hadn't canceled classes until everyone got to school. They then had to send all the buses back out and pick up the kids again.

Several buses crashed. Two students died. Some didn't get picked up and had to spend the night at school. There were lawsuits.
I was one of the lucky ones who were able to get out.
School was closed for a week after that, I think.

Age verification is spreading like cancer.

First they came for adults site and social media; now they are already discussing about putting VPNs and app stores behind #AgeVerfication 🇬🇧🇦🇺

What’s sold as “online safety” means #surveillance via IDs checks or face scans.

Privacy & anonymity protect journalists, whistleblowers & activists.

We must fight against age verification - or the free web dies!

You know that #Linux is becoming mainstream on #desktop computers when a Czech consumer magazine focused on product testing, #DTest, recommends switching to Linux.

"However, there is another solution. Fortunately, it is no longer true that only Microsoft operating systems are suitable for ordinary people and that only eccentric IT wizards with a silicon soul can use anything else. Now, a number of GNU/Linux operating systems offer a level of ease of use that is at least comparable to that of MS Windows."

A photo of a Czech article which is about the end of Windows 10 support and Linux as a viable alternative even for ordinary users.

I'm doing bad, bad things. Have signed up for a Claude Pro account and installed Claude Code. I'm starting a project that may or may not go anywhere, and most here wouldn't care about it anyway, but it'll be cool if it works the way I want.

I've already hit my rate limit twice in three hours. The initial stuff used lots of tokens.

I am now prepared for all the hate that I will no doubt receive.

android copies from apple. apple copies from android. do you know what I would love to see apple copy from android? the ability to still get notificaitons, but not wake up my screen! I will wake my screen up when and if I want to look at them. you don't ened to do it every single time a notification comes in. I want my notifications, I just don't always want to look at them. s please apple, please copy this one from android. make it a setting you can turn on or off. then you would have the best of both worlds.

Why do you care if they're on the lock screen in particular? I personally am fine with hearing noises and knowing there are things to look at when I care, and not having it blablablablabing things out to the world, which is what it does when they're on the lock screen.

If you want to do a fun thing this weekend, maybe write a little webxdc app for your family or friends chats? There are many to fork from, see webxdc.org/apps and for development docs webxdc.org/docs
And for development tooling
GitHub.com/webxdc/webxdc-dev which simulates a multi member chat environment to run your app, before you post the zip file to a chat of yours. Everyone can start it. No app stores. No logins. No gafam. With built-in end-to-end encryption. Cheers.
