I mean I hope they stop, but they didn't stop with all the bad publicity already, what's another setback.

eyewear-free?
what does this mean?
Ad about an ad.
If she lives, she'll say Jesus saved her
that's basically survivorship bias, isn't it?
love the name.
These articles are very easy to write and you can see how emotional people get. You don't need proof and it always works.
Everytime there's an article about what "China/Russia/India/North Korea/or Whatever Says", social media goes:
haha, so fake!
fake news
imagine believing this
propaganda bs
where's the proof?
we only believe in hard facts
no credibility
chinese/russian bots brigading lmao
astroturfing
And then whenever there is "US Says"
so true
I know someone who knows someone who was doing this
I had a gut feeling about this
The boogeyman is real
They're stealing our tech
They're coming for us
We have to renounce them
They're destroying our economy
Enemy #1
They're ruining our western values
US is numba 1
NO FUCKING PROOF REQUIRED!! Anyone questions?
why would they release the evidence, it's classified
I mean fuck all authoritarian regimes, but it's funny to see how social media (especially in US) reacts to these articles and riles them up. Also great for election season.
Standard hypocrisy from propaganda rotted brains at work
If you use on android apps from the playstore, most apps are built to relay their notifications through Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), so they don't have to have a background notification listeners running 24/7. It also means less overhead from multiple notification listeners from every app having its own. So yes, if an app is built on top of google play services, it requires "google play services"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebase_Cloud_Messaging
If an app says it doesn't rely on google play services, it uses an alternative notification listener or websockets, which might not be as effective, because Google is inbuilt and won't kill its own apps, the scale of its infrastructure, and its habit of listening on people's activity.
Add in Androids habit of killing background services, and you don't always get your notification when the app isn't in the foreground.
Even Signal from Playstore uses Google Play Services for notifications.

They kinda have to make some bold claims to stay relevant as Apple Vision might bankrupt them into oblivion when it releases.
do they remove stories and other bloat?
No, they only announced plans to work together with devs to make the transition to mobile easier. It wasn't a "all addons will work on Firefox android" announcement. Hopefully most popular addons transition
I know the phrase. How is Medium going to extinguish Mastodon is what I'm asking. For someone to EEE, they'll have to own it first. Mastodon is still an independent organization.
This looks neat. It'll be sweat it it could get
Will use this instead of Neo for a few days to see how it goes.
