I’m getting pretty pissy in my age. Too many responsibilities, not enough money and time to handle them all.

Books are one of the few things I am more than willing to pay full price for.

Sure the publishers eat a lot of the money, but the authors don’t do too badly.

The very nature of a book (unless something is published as an e-book only) keeps it from being enshittfied like streaming audio and video services. If someone were to print an ad in the book, I could just rip it out and throw it away.

Books are one of the last places where you just will not see an ad or be tracked, or have popups, and other irritating “features”.

Books are good.

Here I am using firefox and ublock or newpipe, I haven’t seen a youtube ad in years. 🤷

They though the titanic unthinkable until they hit an itheburg.

This is the problem, not what is shown in the per-app notifications. Don’t turn on notification history.

That’s not the problem here. Showing a notification with content is not a big deal.

In the case stated here, the big deal is that the notification HISTORY was preserved after removal of Signal. That’s because both Apple and Google do the same thing. They keep a notification history. Not on a per-app basis, ALL apps notification history is stored.

I know that on Androids, it is turned off by default and you can turn it on, so you get the impression that Android doesn’t have this issue. I am going to guess as I do not own an apple anything that iOS has notification history turned on by default. This is the real problem. This is not anything Signal can control for unless they were to not support notifications which would render their app useless, so that’s not an option.

Yeah, 6gb RAM is CRAZY! It’s almost like you’d have to buy a computer that’s at least 15 years old to get that!

What the hell is wrong with these people giving us free software for free and then having the audacity to expect us to pay more than $32 for a computer to run it!

THE NERVE!
