My nightmares always turn into semi lucid dreams, it’s like “this is so horrible it must be a nightmare” and then I can choose to just nope out of sleeping.

My old man taught me that telling someone one is having a nightmare stops it from coming back. I’ve found that just saying it out aloud works as well.

I’ve used it quite a few times throughout my life, never fails. It’s supposedly pretty eerie for others though when I just sit up in bed in the middle of the night, proclaim “I’m having a nightmare” and then promptly going back to sleep.

Holding the power button on my PC until vim shuts down.

Vim is the nightmare.

Palaeeudyptes klekowskii is an extinct penguin species of the penguin genus Palaeeudyptes Palaeeudyptes.

Aaw. Guess no ridable penguins for me then.

what do you call a fly with no wings?

The victim of a psycopath in the making.

Yeah so I’m not into feet either.

RSS subscribing directly to YT channels through a self-hosted RSS aggregator to sync views, open in on-device front-end. Very practical.

Fair enough.

But all of them are examples of apps needing to run in the background specifically to send notifications…

What apps need to run in the background for other reasons than to send notifications?

Some are easier than others…

Have you ever said it and it turned out to be someone calling the wrong number? Are you ever worried she’ll flip it on you and conspire with a friend to have them call you on her phone?

You’re playing a dangerous game, friend.

For interface unity I use Voyager in Chrome’s web app functionality, it’s nice to have the same interface. The last multi platform Lemmy app was Liftoff which was really nice but it’s dead.

Lemmy in a tab in Firefox, no matter the front end is so… I want the sleek experience dang it!

Firefox, give web app functionality on desktop!

What sort of apps would need real-time running if not to send notifications? Like logging software?

Damn engagers, ruining it for the rest of us.

WW3 have that unblockable Presidential Alert emergency notification. There’s no escape. 😔

Unless one disabled the correct system APK through ADB of course.

At that point why not just disallow it from running in the background?

Issue #363 - My phone notified me about an add

Issue #366 - My phone have notified me about ads twice

Issue #372 - My phone have notified me about ads three times

That’s the good stuff.

I know what you mean. I’m self-hosting and use https://relay.fedi.buzz/ to subscribe to hashtags from all over the fedimicroblogosphere. It’s literally too much interesting content, I kept scrolling new stuff for hours and had to cut down on what tags I subscribed to. It’s like that Lemmy explorer but for microblogging.

I think a reasonable admin should be open to using the service to populate the federated timeline with niché content users ask for.

The only downside is “catch all”-tags and people abusing tags. “Hey #fediverse, check out my XYZ!”. No, I want fediverse news dang it!

But the dev stuff? Yeah.

It’s better than the Linux Mint support forums that blocks VPN users and the power users just deny that they’re blocking VPN users.
