Not directly, but they control the most popular portal to the open Internet with chromium to shape ad delivery, and (depending on how dramatic you want to be) the shape of reality presented to their users based on their AI models. Not direc

Just because I bought an Apple product doesn't mean I made the choice to trust them globally across everything I do on my device, when did this become a binary that the hardware vendor must also be the only trusted software and service

Could the restriction not be the device owner choosing to use it? If some rando vibe coded an app and the os told me all the things it can access, I'd probably want to trust the developer before installing it. Why do I need to beg Appl

Depends on the cost of Godzilla insurance, which currently is quite low. Lock in now!

In fact, Apple would construe themselves as a MITM, pretty explicitly.

Two things can be true, you can choose to install software from a curated store, policed by an entity you trust to do that. I can install whatever trash I want from the internet and risk my own security doing so. These two things aren'

I don't know if there's an iOS equivalent, but Buzzkill on Android is really great for this. I set up filters to hide all the stupid Amazon ad notifications.

by gumby271 5mo ago
If you're on Android, I'll always recommend Buzzkill to add very granular rules for notification filtering. I set up all kinds of filters just for the Amazon app. On iOS I assume you're sol, that notification system is unhing

Am I understanding correctly that iOS notifications have to go over apns unless on the same local network as the HA server? I do appreciate that android makes this possible for ha and signal (and others) in all cases, it should be up to the

Yeah I'm disappointed this isn't pointed out in the opening paragraph. It's fair to critique Google for convincing devs that fcm is the only option, and obviously iOS is designed for Apple to do whatever they want, regardless

I think that's what the Notification Organizer on Android (maybe Pixel exclusive, not sure) does. It's sorting notifications into broad categories using AI and groups them in the notification shade.

Or perhaps a user id or fingerprint to an individual. We added that to printers long ago, this would easily enable that for every photo and image you generate too.

This one was shocking to me too. I get the argument around the upside down trackpad, but inverting the mouse wheel with no built in open is insane. I also have a mystery app who's only just is to correct this stupid behavior.

Were there features in original Google docs that would insert random garbage? I'm not saying those products didn't have bugs in 2001, but I don't recall them having features that were both barely functioning while also being

I think I'm too stupid to understand what point you're trying to make, sorry.

by gumby271 5mo ago
I would say we're reaching new levels of incomplete and rushed to market though. The original Google Search, Maps, Docs, etc. weren't feature rich, but what they had worked well. I'm not saying they were perfectly built, but

I've run into a similar thing where I'll be cc'd on support tickets with one of our customer support agents and they'll then reply to me with what is clearly an ai summary of the single email from the customer that I can

Doesn't that still require going though all the hoops that they were struggling with, or is this a different verification flow with Apple?

I feel like we could expect a bit more from the billion dollar company to support new apis. They have a solid mechanism to deprecate apis and force developers to rebuild their apps already, just shorten that window for the cutting edge apis

"for you, turquoise is blue." Well no, it's turquoise, that's why we gave it a whole different word.

In the Signal app itself there's an option to hide the message body or both the sender and body, that way the OS wont have anything to store in the history.

by gumby271 6mo ago
I think that's how the Android notification history works. If I uninstall an app, the entries in the history aren't shown anymore. You also have to opt in to notification history and toggling it off and back on clears the old entr

Android is for everyone, provided they submit to Google exclusively. It's not about power users, and that isn't a speed bump. You can protect vulnerable users without centralizing power like they did, but that's not their mot

Sorry I just saw this, if Kotlin isn't native, then what is the "native" way to write android apps?

Really? So all app installs on Android 17+ will have to be done online?
