'Technically incorrect' on a matter of U.S. constitutionality, says the poster talking about capital-'s' soil. Right.

If I may... I suspect quite a few of your comments have been downvoted for being a little—frenetic. In many ways, your work here (together with your previous work experience) speaks for itself, at least to those of us who get it. Unfortunat

Just to clarify, this is within the Signal app settings—not the OS (iOS or Android) system settings. Critical distinction, as merely changing OS notification settings will simply prevent notification content from being displayed on-screen

Very well said.

Can you offer some examples?

It was a custom (presumably DoD-approved) build. And the story gets much better than that: https://youtu.be/KFYyfrTIPQY&t=724

Serious (related) question: is the the state of window 'snapping' equivalent to or better than Windows 11 in any *NIX, non-tiling WM desktop environments?
