Nothing makes me uninstall an app than it asking for an account for something that very much shouldn't need one, or sending me notifications like "uwu you haven't used our app in 3 days, is everything oki? ๐ฅน"
If you are using Android, I really recommend taking a look at the notification settings of an app. A lot of times it's possible to disable only specific types of notifications.
Yis :3.. if an app sends me a notification for nothing it's more just a matter of principle tho ๐ I mean.. 9/10 times there's probably some open source, or at least more basic alternative that works for me that doesn't have all of that unnecessary stuff
If it's notifications for things that are clearly useful, but I just don't care about, I'll usually look into configuring it tho :3
I remember this and thought the apps I was trying to configure had disabled it/it was locked down by one UI 7. This comment made me dig around in settings and I found it for anyone else stuck with one UI.
Notifications > Advanced settings > Manage notification categories for each app (scroll to bottom)
This seems like such a stupid thing to hide in advanced settings when it is enabled by default on older versions but at least it is still available?
And that's the story of how xXxBiGDiCk69xXx was born.
I'm so happy I got FirstnameLastname@gmail.com. I mean, I've been on Firstname@lastname for years now, but i'm still pretty happy I was born early enough for this.
I heard from people who had the same luck, that they get E-Mails all the time from people with the same name who are too stupid to remember their address.
So JohnDoe69@gmail.com always registers with JohnDoe@gmail.com, so you get their Mails instead. Is it a real problem?
I don't think it ever happened to me. But I have a Dutch first name and a Czech last name, so there probably aren't many people around with my name.
And it was a pretty modern first name at the time, so not a lot of boomer mail coming my way either.
