Nice! Here's my little watchlist of interesting talks:
What are you listening to now?: Implementing "Now Playing" feature in modern XMPP
It is funny that this IM feature is apparently popular again for some reason. I remember it being popular in my social circle in the 2000s (French millennials using MSN Messenger). The corresponding XEP was first published in 2003. In still-maintained XMPP clients, it looks like gajim has support, but I have never noticed anyone actually using it. Anyway, this would be fun to add to some of the gateways I develop (the discord one seems to be the most obvious candidate).
I found this talk to be particularly good. https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/FE7ULY-foss-in-times-of-war-scarcity-and-ai/
A topic that feels sorely unrepresented in todays discussion about technology
Wow, exhausted just reading the talk list. How do folks find the time to watch even ten percent of these?
You don't. You begin with the room list and ignore entire rooms for topics you're not interested in. This reduces the number of talks by a lot.
