nadram , to Mildly Infuriating in These notifications are bundled together for some reason. So if I want to be notified when my subscriptions renew themselves, I have to also be notified of random games going on sale, too.

Here is Google showing blatant malicious compliance to their own standards. "You want security notifications for payments made through your account? Have a side of ads with that". They've fallen real low since the days of "do no harm" 😞

NoneYa ,

Close, but it was “don’t be evil”.

KingJalopy ,

"openly evil"

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

That was always sarcastic.

Maalus ,

Which is still in the google code of conduct.

@sneezycat@sopuli.xyz avatar

It is there but almost as a quote... It's at the end and it just says "and remember, don't be evil!". It's not part of the actual code, so I guess it's just for show and nostalgia.

Maalus ,

It's literally there as it was previously. They removed it at the start to say "do the right thing" instead, but don't be evil is there too. It was a drummed up controversy over nothing.

True, thanks 😏

DmMacniel ,

"Do no harm", that's the Hippocratic Oath.

Hupf ,

More like the Hippocratic Option amirite? 🤜🤛

"Do no harm to the stockholders" would be the contemporary take.

There's an app, and I'm sure others like it, called Tidy Panel that lets you block notifications based on the content they have. The free version let's you block a handful, but you need premium for unlimited. For you, the free might be enough.

littlewonder ,

Also, the BuzzKill app does this and it's beautiful with Material design.

Natanael ,

Tasker also have the autonotification plugin which let you set any rules and actions you want on notifications

Just like dating apps, if you want notification of a message or match, you have to get ad notifications daily

Cosmos7349 ,

Joke’s on you. I get daily ads WITHOUT getting message or match notifications. I have successfully decoupled.

Natanael ,

decoupled

Assuming it's a pun

Pechente ,

Yeah that’s horrible. I have a strict policy of turning off any notification that is not a direct message from a person to me or a reminder I set myself. If crap gets bundled like this, I turn it off altogether.

When I used Tinder, I just checked the app every now and then and I remember people unmatching me again because I didn’t reply quickly enough. Online dating is so fucking toxic.

pivot_root ,

I put "Messages will arrive in three to five business days" in my bio, and that solved the problem nicely. Now, I simply don't get matches at all 😎

Emerald ,

If you aren't joking… that's awesome

pivot_root ,

Yeah... I think you might be an optimist. It was not the positive outcome you appeared to have taken away from it.

I think you can click it and choose from within it. Normally on android, when there is a switch with a line next to it, that means it's clickable and has more options.

I just checked my options on my Samsung and there is no individual option to fine tune that

Chozo OP ,
@Chozo@fedia.io avatar

Unfortunately, this is as granular as you're able to get with the notification controls for the Play Store app.

ogeist ,

From the application itself, you can disable the Deals and Promotions.

I was wondering why I have not seen any ads even though I have this active for the app. So there you go.

penquin ,
@penquin@lemm.ee avatar

I have this same option and it's disabled, too. Not sure what kind of play store op has

Chozo OP ,
@Chozo@fedia.io avatar

Good find, I just disabled that in my Play Store settings now. Thanks for that!

gnygnygny ,

You have to do it one by one for each app. Good luck if you have 300 apps.

ogeist ,

If you have 300 you might have other problems

gnygnygny ,

Nope. I don't have any and most of them are FOSS

BentiGorlich , to Mbin Dev in How can mbin/kbin users subscribe or even just reach a lemmy community?
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

generally when a magazine does not exist on a server you search for @ magazinename @ instance.tld without the spaces. There is a good chance that the server requires you to be logged in when pulling in a new magazine. If the magazine already exists you should go to the "Magazines" tab and search for the magazine there

mal3oon , to Technology in Just got an operating system update for my Galaxy S10 phone

Reminder that it's always possible to unlock the bootloader and install Open Source Roms

MonkderDritte ,

No, it's often not possible. Look before you buy.

nothingcorporate , to 196 in The Detrulers

Diapers, strong enough for a man's piss.

PLS_HELP OP ,

Hefty Garbage Bags: now- for white people.

littletranspunk , to 196 in The Detrulers

How should we do this? Oh, I know! Eye

I love how the vandal did less damage than the person who tried to restore it.

Drummyralf , to Technology in Just got an operating system update for my Galaxy S10 phone

Hmm, Verizon only? I don't have it, I'm in Europe. Bought the phone without specific carrier.

IHawkMike , to Technology in Just got an operating system update for my Galaxy S10 phone

Yeah, but that security patch level.

@wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world avatar

Better than what they were on before...

n2burns ,

My S10e says the same date without this update.

Hugh_Jeggs ,

March 22 for my S9 lol

timkenhan ,

Still better than no update.

Zurgo , to Technology in Question about Active Noise Cancellation alternatives

I've had a couple of good experiences with budget ANC buds, I used scarbir.com for his budget reviews, especially like that he assesses their phone call quality.

stealth_cookies , to Technology in Question about Active Noise Cancellation alternatives

Do you want to just block all sound or do you want the extra features that come with active noise cancellation headphones like speech passthrough? What you are proposing doesn't exist because it makes no sense, active noise cancellation is done by recording the audio outside the headphone, inverting the amplitude and attempting to align the phase to cancel it out in real time.

In reality active noise cancellation only works for more or less constant sounds below 1000Hz, anything higher than that and the headphones block exactly as much noise as any other pair of sealed headphones.

You will get better noise reduction with IEMs than headphones, deep insertion headphones like Etymotic beat the pants off Bose for noise isolation at every frequency, are cheaper, and as a plus sound better than any noise cancelling set you can buy.
