[Buzzkill] for android lets you completely control if you get specific notifications at all or with sound etc. I bunch up noisy text threads in once-a-day chunks, silence all notifications not about/from nuclear family from sleep to wake, etc.

It really made me appreciate that, when I have to have my phone, notifications are like an extra obnoxious form of e-mail with all of its problems. [Buzzkill] gives me the phone equivalent of Inbox Zero.

The filtering looks fairly powerful, but I wonder if I could have it hide notifications from apps that I haven't interacted with in 24 hours. I would do that for ALL of the delivery and transportation apps.

(iOS users, when you force quit an app, I believe that prevents it from initiating push notifications until you reopen it. Or it used to, I haven’t tested recently and perhaps it doesn’t stop modern ads? Data needed.)

It doesn't seem to work that way today.

This is the first time it occurred to me Xubuntu and Kubuntu might be somehow unofficial. I'm not plugged into the Ubuntu community, so figured the flavors were offered by Canonical.

Why is the server version so supposedly demanding if you can install it without X/Wayland? Or can't you?

For instance, I installed Xubuntu on an ancient laptop (reluctantly ensured it was 64-bit, but that's it) recently and everything's fine.

I wasn't told by the installer to watch out or have apt choke or anything.

And diskonaut and gdmap.

This is a reach, but do you know where to find the essay I read about someone explaining to King David that a whale isn't a fish and the King laughs at him because his modern mammal explanations are useless and impractical compared to the ones he uses?

I've been trying to re-find it for ages.

Thank you, a refreshingly interesting read

Thank you!

Meet developers where they are: have multiple remotes at multiple forges and mailing lists.

Don't keep all your eggs in one basket.

Is this iOS only?

For the time being yes, I am looking for Android testers (need 12 to publish and I am a solo dev), if you are interested please reach out!

This happened to me.

I tried to be a good boy and wrote to the company asking for zipper parts to fix it and they told me to buy another jacket.

So I looked for companies that advertise repairability and found Patagonia made the most believable claims. Quite reasonable now that I'm old and rich, but I wouldn't have had the choice when young and poor.

One of the virtues of HN is polite prodding when the rules are broken.

I used to think this and used things like `help2man`. I now disagree, but throwing it out there.

I could use some "help2man." I don't know how to "man" /s
