I just want software that will do nothing user-observable without me explicitly asking it to. No pop-ups, no suggestions, no automatic anything.
I don't know if it'll take a fancy buzzword or what. Unobtrusive software? Silent Software?
- MiddleEndian 2y agoI've mused about writing a distribution license where every type of notification and update can be disabled, and any modification must follow the same license. STFU (BSD equivalent) and STFU-O (GPL equivalent) No LGPL equivalent because I would want even software that uses STFU-* licensed code as a library to follow the STFU-* license. Just have to explicitly define what counts as a notification lol
- pabs3 2y agoRespectful software.

- bobsmooth 2y agoThis is a terrible idea for an internet connected device.
- TheBicPen 2y agoNo notifications? Depends on what your definition of "asking it" is, but having to explicitly do an action to check for notifications and even phone calls seems counter-productive for a phone.
