Maybe we should stop calling them *Notifications* and instead refer to *Interruptions*.
"Working on some stuff so I've turned off interruptions for a while."
"Right on."
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.orgI kinda liked how notifications worked in classic iOS: A little window would pop up in front of everything, and you could acknowledge or dismiss it, and then it was gone forever.
They really were interruptions, and you didn't tend to enable them for too many apps.
Now the notification center is just another horrid inbox to go through. XD
This so much! There are certainly things I need to get notified about. Do I have to be notified about it right then? (In the case of "drink some water so you don't dehydrate yourself", unfortunately, yes, I do. In the case of "this person liked your post", what am I going to do about that in the next fifteen seconds that I couldn't do in several hours?) Even if I do need the immediacy, will I ever have any reason to go back to it after seeing and dismissing it?
I guess that's what happens when one of our primary computer providers is an ad business. Who's up for overthrowing Google?

Even Apple is an ad company.
I've been off of iOS for four years now, and I was utterly shocked to see ads in the iOS App Store on a family member's phone a year or two ago.
Pretty shameless!
