Inspired by @_elena and by my own attempts to keep my sanity around digital technology, I started the "Butlerian Handbook to Surviving the Digital World in the Age of Tech Billionaires". Here is the first part.
Most of you here are more tech-oriented than me and may not find it useful, but that's the point. It's aimed at "tech normies." My friends, your little brother and your grandma among others.

#Hollo 0.7 brings a redesigned #notification system with much better performance. We've moved from generating #notifications on-demand to storing them as they happen, which makes the notifications endpoint about 60% faster. We've also added response compression (though if you're using a reverse proxy, you probably had this already).

More notably, Hollo 0.7 implements Mastodon's v2 grouped notifications API. Notifications like favorites, follows, and reblogs targeting the same post or account are now grouped together server-side, reducing clutter. Clients that support the new API (introduced in #Mastodon 4.3) will show cleaner, more organized notifications automatically.

Hollo 0.7 is still in development, but we're excited to share it with you when it's ready!

Some Android 16 phones could eventually get a Notification Organizer feature that uses AI to sort notifications into categories like promotions, news, social, and suggested. It's an optional feature that can be disabled per-app or for all apps. https://www.androidauthority.com/android-notification-organizer-leak-3574662/#Android#Notifications#NotificationOrganizer

I'm wondering if there is a way to gather the notifications that arrive for various apps, and echo them in one preferred app, all within the device. A functionality that could added by installing one new app, with servers and apps otherwise working as normal.
