I know about the setting. Why are you saying that information is sent to Google’s servers? As far as I have found, that information is only stored locally on your phone

Edit: If this is just about the fact it’s on the phone locally, of course if they have your actual phone they can see it. Signal is end to end encrypted, but it isn’t go to be encrypted on each end, otherwise you couldn’t read messages. Them getting your actual phone is very different from them intercepting the communication without you knowing

Source? I am not seeing anything about that. The only problem I have seen on Android is when applications use firebase for notifications, which is most play store apps to be fair, just no FDroid apps or some privacy preserving apps

You also don’t need to do this on Android unless you are concerned about random people seeing the messages on your screen. Signal on Android does not use Google’s push notification service

As I already replied om one of your other comments:

It’s not because of push notifications. the message is not sent to firebase, just a signal that the app should do a refresh.

Is is 100% because of firebase. Here is an example payload from firebases official document:

{
  "message":{
    "token":"bk3RNwTe3H0:CI2k_HHwgIpoDKCIZvvDMExUdFQ3P1...",
    "notification":{
      "title":"Portugal vs. Denmark",
      "body":"great match!"
    }
  }
}

Notification history is purely local to the device. It is not sent to any servers.

And where do those data centers get their money? Without end customers to sell to, there is no markets. If all jobs are taken by robots, then people will not have work and will not get paychecks to buy stuff. Basically the only option is true socialism and everyone just gets their government checks. But I also don’t really see that happening

The catch is “in sunlight” that was omitted from the tweet:

Depending on their launch date, the crew of NASA’s Artemis II mission may become the first humans to see regions of the lunar far side, like Mare Orientale, in sunlight.

I guess their logic for the tweet is they technically couldn’t see it since it wasn’t lit? I do know they are capturing information in new details they didn’t have before because of the lighting. And I also imagine the dark side of the mook was essentially completely dark

This is not always the same on Android. Any app from FDroid will not use Google’s push notification service because it is proprietary, meaning it violates the rules for FDroid. Signal does not use Google’s notification service

It’s worth noting apps can avoid this on Android: https://tuta.com/blog/google-push-alternative#alternatives-to-google-push

Any FDroid app cannot use Firebase for push notifications since it’s proprietary: https://forum.f-droid.org/t/firebase-allowed-in-fdroid-apps/7540

Not all, no. There are alternatives on Android:

The good news is that alternative methods for push notifications are available, namely SSE (Server Sent Events) and WebSockets.

Additionally, a new open source project, UnifiedPush is becoming increasingly popular. UnifiedPush is an open source, private alternative to Google for notifications.

Signal for android uses web sockets for notifications

The only way apple is seeing it is when the notification is displayed. It only sees the contents of the notification itself. So it would still see who sent you a message, but it wouldn’t say what it was

What about sortition as a means for items to go on a ballot

Being in IT with windows 11 is awful.

“Why isn’t my mic/audio working?”

Me: “Idk, restart the computer”

“That fixed it. I don’t understand, it was just working yesterday. Why did it stop working?”

Me: “Windows 11 sucks…”

Not to mention how awful it is being in a teams call as the IT guy and my mic isn’t working because, again, windows is ass

I always boil the water first, so i can’t speak to that portion. But what I do is add the boils to a sealed container with cold water. Then give it a good shake so that shells crack, but not so hard the eggs themselves are damaged. But after that the shells slide right off
