If every app on your phone was constantly running and asking the server for new messages, it would drain a lot of battery. That's why phones instead use a single app that asks a notification server if any new notifications are there. The way it works is if you e.g. get a WhatsApp message, the WhatsApp server tells the notification server that you have a new message, then when the notification app asks that server for new messages, the server will tell it that there's a new WhatsApp notification. Then the notification app wakes up WhatsApp and tells it there's a new notification, then WhatsApp checks for new messages and shows you the notification.

Most apps use Apple's system (whatever it's called) on iOS or Google's Firebase on Android for that. There are also apps that let you use the open standard UnifiedPush, which let's you use any notification app or server you want.

Police officer emptied his entire mag on the car the suspect was sitting in after an acorn fell on its roof because he thought the suspect was shooting at him. I think his partner did the same. The suspect wasn't hit tho.

Someone else commented that this dude often posts stuff like this and it's not satire...

[-] Fisch@lemmy.ml 26 points 5 months ago

This thread really makes me appreciate how good I have it...

It's not illegal to know. OpenAI decides what ChatGPT is allowed to tell you, it's not the government.

I'm pretty sure that was the joke

This is about the people who have to check if this stuff is violating the rules, not users who happened to see it

For open source messengers, you can check whether they actually encrypt your messages and whether the server has access to your encryption keys but what about WhatsApp? Since it's not open source, you can't be sure that the encryption keys aren't sent to the server, right? Has there been a case where a government was able to access WhatsApp chats without reading them from the phone itself?

I've recently started using a self hosted SearXNG instance but I'm still using the search engines enabled by default (google, duckduckgo and qwant). What search engines do you have enabled or which ones do you feel you've gotten the best results with?

Installing an adblocker like uBlock Origin improves performance but aside from that I don't think there's a lot you can do

This is a fork of QGnomePlatform updated to the new LibAdwaita look

There's no flatpak version yet (which is why it doesn't work in flatpak applications) but the developer said on Reddit that he's gonna make one

Is there a way to make those title bars look more like GTK 4? Here's what they look like:

It doesn't really fit into the desktop because of the gradient and the buttons.

This doesn't seem to happen when I view any other community. It's been like this for about 15 minutes, I think. Someone else on that community also had this issue: https://lemmy.ml/post/1214299

The current one is just the one the r/osugame subreddit uses. It's not bad, I just find it kinda boring. If anyone has a better one, feel free to post it under this post.
