  • You can definitely swipe up on a notification to make it go away without dismissing it.

    Honestly, just make this habit: whenever you see a non-actionable notification, before you swipe it away, long press it and hit “turn off notifications.” Then you can go through that app’s list and choose the ones you need—or turn the app’s notification off completely!

    For ones you want to show up, but don’t want interrupting you, switch their delivery to Silent and Minimized.

    Be ruthless with your notifications. You’ll feel a lot better.


  • Oh, that makes all the sense in the world. You’re probably right.

    Even if it’s a dozen companies making cases for every type of museum, zoo, and aquarium, it’s probably going to be a little bit like Chromebooks where the vast majority of different options are going to look the same unless you stare at them right next to one another or are in the industry. Most industrial design ends up pretty samey because that’s what people expect.










  • It’s not going to make a difference with conservatives

    It’s not going to make a difference with MAGAs. Nothing will. But the hold-their-nose Republicans are already starting to question whether or not everything they have been told about her is true, and casting further doubt on that could be enough to get them to leave the “President” line on the ballot blank. Seeing her responses, unfiltered by a pundit, could absolutely start that questioning. It could even start dominoes falling in their head that end up with a party affiliation shift in 2028 or 2032.

    and it’s not going to make a difference with her own base.

    As you can see in this very thread, her excellent performance is definitely infusing more enthusiasm into her base. There’s already a huge enthusiasm gap between the two candidates, and she’s running up the score. That makes a measurable difference.

    Probably not for independents either.

    Actually—

    The biggest win is probably that she can say she did it, and Trump is too afraid to do the same.

    —I think this right here actually helps her with independents quite a bit. The ones I’ve talked to value discourse so much that hearing she’s willing to engage with the other side like this might make them take notice.
