A yet another poll.
Several users have been asking about push notifications and I declined that because:
Draining battery means hating users.
Using FCM(Google Services) violates GPL license.
Google has monopolized Push Messaging on Android. So there is no good and reliable alternatives to FCM yet
Recently, I came up with this theoretical solution in three steps:
I’m adding a feature in Husky that will allow for external application to wake up Husky and fetch available notifications from instance.
I’m writing a relay that will retranslate Push Notifications got from Pleroma/Mastodon to FCM or using existing relays by Roma or SubwayTooter developers.
I’m writing this external application that will catch notifications got from Google and wake up Husky and here we come to full circle.
In the end, this doesn’t violate GPL because I’m not linking GPL code to proprietary FCM, instead everything is done by standalone application. For paranoid users this kept completely optional, if you don’t want, you may not leak your data to my server. Ideally, the contents of your messages should NOT leak to Google. Maybe I could seamlessly replace FCM with free and open source OpenPush later, but that’s only if our world will be a better place.
Personally I don’t like getting any kind of notifications. But I don’t make Husky only for myself and I think users should decide. So my question is, should I work on this at all?
Lockdowns have caused such a drop in air pollution levels over Nepal that Sagarmatha (Mount Everest) can be seen from Kathmandu for the first time in decades.
@mono @moonman @guizzy @lain From my perspective, it’s 100% intentional malice. The goal is not just to make a new show, which would be fine, but to consciously and intentionally destroy all that came before it. Star Wars was never as big a deal to me as Star Trek, but it’s the same thing that was done with it.
Hell, a recent article on startrek.com even admitted that the goal of Picard was, more or less, to destroy the Picard character and “take him down a notch”: https://www.startrek.com/news/the-humbling-of-admiral-picard
