With Signal's default settings, Google reads your Signal messages when they come in through push notifications.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit: For those in doubt, last year, I started seeing content-aware auto-reply options in my Signal message notifications; that is not a function of Signal, but a function of Google's Android. One could escape it by using a de-Googled Android like Lineage or Graphene, or by hiding the message content (which is not the Signal default) and would surely hurt Signal's adoption, when you have to unlock the app to read each message.

At some point, Android is reading the message to generate the quick replies that were showing in the notification. They're content-aware and this is not a function of Signal; if someone sent me a question, there were "yes" and "no" quick replies. If someone sent that they were going to be late, there were quick replies like "That's OK", etc.

I'm looking in to this, thank you!

Edit: Molly (UnifiedPush) isn't something I can reasonably expect friends and family to set up.

Please note that to receive notifications, you will need to set up a server to run MollySocket, available on https://github.com/mollyim/mollysocket.

You need the right flavor of Molly to use UnifiedPush: https://github.com/mollyim/mollyim-android-unifiedpush.
You can install MollySocket via:
Docker/Podman: docker pull ghcr.io/mollyim/mollysocket:latest
Crates.io: cargo install mollysocket (see INSTALL.md for the setup)
Direct download: https://github.com/mollyim/mollysocket/releases (see INSTALL.md for the setup)
A distributor app (easiest is ntfy)
You can optionally install your own push server like ntfy or NextPush. For beginners, you can use a free service like ntfy.sh (do consider donating if you have the means).

Nope, Debian releases are all named after Toy Story characters.

Again?!

I get your joke, but it's even cheaper than a "Raspberry Pi". Pi Pico, one RP2040 chip, that's basically RPi's new version of a Teensy. I just installed one in my GameCube to defeat its "BIOS" and boot from micro SD card :P

I thought, at first, that it had something to do with the Evil Maid threat vector.

I saw the original posted too many times to not come up with a response, I thought they were mostly here on /c/linuxmemes but maybe not. Usually captioned "average Arch user". 😅

Hostess Ho-Hos were kind of gross, but Little Debbie(-an) Swiss Cake Rolls, oh, man.

The "frogs in water slowly brought to a boil" meme is totally false. The frogs jump out when the water gets too hot for them, which is long before it's boiling. Just saying ;)

All I can say is that there was once some site where I had great difficulty finding a valid username that wasn't already taken, and this name worked.

Oof. The real Feeder is a FOSS Android app, get it on F-Droid.

On PC, there are two Firefox plugins, one to bring back "live bookmarks" (RSS feeds), and one to bring back the radio-waves-like icon in the address bar of sites with RSS feeds available. Let me check...

Edit: It's just one plugin, Livemarks. If you put the bookmark it creates into the bookmarks toolbar, then it becomes a drop-down menu of the headlines/RSS items. 👍

You can turn off Microsoft's ads, browser nagging, and data faucet, but as long as you are dependent on them for Windows Updates, that gives them an opportunity to undo your fixes and turn them back on.

FOSS has a similar problem in which the program author can sell out to a less-friendly entity, and when you update the software it starts misbehaving (see Audacity, Simple Mobile Tools, etc.)

This is why I use Debian stable branch. Disadvantages: outdated software (but still get security updates)
Advantages: outdated software (but still get security updates) 😅

Agreed. I dual-booted years ago; start menu ads made me wipe the Windows, and Edging their way into people's computers made me realize how meaningless the antitrust lawsuit was.

It's a slow march toward subscription OS and when it's their computer, people probably won't be able to use the nice one-click registry hacks to remove the ads and spyware.

If there's anything particular about your Linux OS that you don't like, there's likely a different distro that does it the way you want, or dig in and learn how to change it.
