I don't know how to use this app called `ntfy`. Maybe it requires more advanced IT and technical knowledge. I would like to use it for my server, so that whenever people like my post, the `ntfy` app will send a notification directly to my phone.

The fact the #developer states they won't #support #Android because #PushNotifications on Android are "insecure" (in their opinion) is fallacious at-best.

More likely the developer simply doesn't want to invest the time or resources, completely ignoring the fact that Android has a 42% marketshare in the US.

Even worse? The developer tells android users to "just buy an
#iPhone".

Fuck 'em.

Matt Taylor began to feel like he was getting too many push notifications from the BBC News app, so he decided to investigate how these alerts work, how they differ around the world, and what clues you can pick up about media trends from them. So he downloaded 61 international news apps on an old phone, signed up for push notifications on all of them, and then used ChatGPT to build a script that uploads their text to a server and a Bluesky page. NiemanLab talked to him about what he learned. We want to know: What's your perspective on push notifications for news?

  • I've ported UnifiedPush to Firefox, so it can receive background notifications using the service you want, specially useful for PWA (installable web application)
  • ntfy provides a PWA
  • So I can receive ntfy notifications with their PWA through any push service, for instance using Sunup :D

Check out our blog post where we examine the push notification problem and address potential misconceptions!

In the wake of recent reports by @Reuters, @TechCrunch, @404mediaco, and others on #surveillance via push notifications, many people have been confused about reports about it and how it affects their own #privacy when using messengers anonymously.

We have been involved with the original investigation by @netzpolitik_feed.
