I think it’s becoming a play store requirement for apps to use various “notification channels” or whatever it’s called, so hopefully the all or nothing behaviour will disappear in time.

Orrrr as you say apps get totally silenced / uninstalled, I don’t have the patience for that kind of stuff anymore.

And newer versions of Android have notification categories for each app.

So if the developer does their homework I can turn off particular notification types and let others through, and that way you can -gasp!- actually have a messaging app that only notifies you of actual messages, instead of constantly begging for your attention for a bunch of superfluous crap.

And if I go to the notification settings for that app and it doesn’t have a category I can easily drop, it either gets completely silenced, or it gets uninstalled.

Seconded.

Aldi has a presence in Australia in major cities, they are generally seen as an alternative to the major duopoly of Coles and Woolworths.

pollutes internet for years to come and spews disinformation,

I wonder if future search engines will have an option to ignore results from 2022 to 20?? to avoid woeful AI content?

What the incoming president fails to understand is that the money that the US funnels towards NATO helps keep a lid on conflicts “over there”, so they don’t end up “over here”, like WWII.

The US reached the “bread and circuses” stage of politics a decade or so ago. Once the population figures out it can vote itself money (or the promise of money) it’s all over.

Look at the campaign promises of the incoming president. “More for you, not them”, sums it up. The problem is that everyone hopes they are the “you” in that offer.
