Let’s talk about a problem - software cannot be trusted anymore. In the past, if I allowed an app to send me notifications, I’d get alerted for things I wanted to hear about. Now every app uses spurious notifications as a way to artificially boost their daily active user count. I am one by one having to shut off notifications on apps that used to be reliable products. I’ve disabled notifications on linkedin because it keeps sending me ads and random unnecessary alerts.
@Tedspence Lately I have resorted to turning off all notifications and only whitelist those of apps that I consider important or trustworthy. As soon as an app sends a spurious notification it gets the privileges revoked.
@photon @Tedspence Yep, I think a lot of people work that way now - there's no other way to function without being bombarded with bullshit.
