@joel They can get annoying, but at least you can “minimize” them like that.

@joel That's why I install some FOSS apps from Aurora, so they can use MicroG push notifications, instead of each of them having a daemon and draining the battery

By the way, I did this to bring good news, you can actually turn off ALL of these notifications and the background processes won't be stopped.A lot of apps actually tell you, but, in my case I still feel a bit uneasy about them staying alive, but I have gone for weeks with them turned off without problems, I am just paranoid sometimes

@rridley I just wish they looked like a normal system tray with slightly bigger icons that in the notifications that you can tap and stuff. Or Imagine a quick tile named "background processes" which you tap and see this exact same thing.Yes there is a way to view all background processes but it's difficult to understand and some process are not really important for normal users to see

@joel@fosstodon.org Ok, there's a lot wrong with this.1. Matrix is...somewhat of a honeypot. Self-hosted homeservers are fine.2. Mastodon is a honeypot? What? I may not like website boy, but Mastodon or the Fediverse by no means is a honeypot, unless you're talking about .social or .online.3. Tor is very debatable. I'd argue it isn't.4. "Nobody actually likes it" say that to the tens of millions of active users

everyone has an excuse on why some alternative is so shit and should not be used, make up your own mind, start threat modeling and stop listening to professional idiot opinion posters on the internet comment sections. believe it or not, most of these criticism are trolls put out to irritate all of those projects that online retards believed to be literal fact. you cant solve stupid in others but you can start solving it in one's self. one due diligence at a time.
