Most likely I'll move away from #bsky to #mastodon given that as thing stands, bsky is centralized despite their efforts...

Love this quote: "sustainability start at the keyboard, not in the billing dashboard"
I totally agree. I often wonder how much CPU usage could be saved if all code running in clouds would be top-optimized. Pretty sure it's huge. Way more than 50%.

Tonight we're celebrating 10 years of Rewilding Britain (@rewildingbritain.org.uk). I don't think I've ever come across an organisation which has shifted both public attitudes and tangible outcomes on an issue so fast. I'm proud to be associated.

OK, so my previous headphones were already falling apart (they had like 15 years? I used electric tape and droplet-glue to keep them together) so I decided to take the plunge and got myself new ones as there was 50% discount and O-M-G. They sound so great! […]

Absurd thing is that a lot of corporations use it on the daily basis and the tought of actually donating to it never crosses their minds…
And if someone suggest open-source it has to be Apache because god forbids "infectious" (A)GPL…

JUnit is undoubtedly one of the most important projects in the #Java ecosystem. And it's 100% free and open!
Let me be frank: If we can't get THIS project to the point where a single maintainer can focus on it, then what does that say about our commitment to Free & Open Source Software?

Google Looks To Bring JPEG-XL Support Back To Chrome / Chromium
Back in 2022 was the surprising decision by Google that they were going to deprecate JPEG-XL image support in Chrome. By the end of 2022 they went ahead and removed JPEG-XL support from Chrome/Chromium to the frustration of many web developers and end-users interested in this image format. Now though as we get ready to roll into 2026, Google engineers are looking at bringing back JPEG-XL support to the Chrome web browser...

I was somewhat sceptical about "Shantae: Risky's Revenge" (not really a fan of "pixel-art") but after a short while I get used to it and enjoyed it… and then started "Shantae and the Pirate's Curse" and OMG… it's so awesome and entertaining! 🥰😍

Looking for feedback:
The JavaFX Properties/listeners approach if really powerful to bind UI components to changing values.
But it is often over-used and the main source of performance issues. It's very easy to kill performance by adding a listener to a property that is modified during layout.
