I'm tired of being badgered by my phone over useless nonsense. Go away Samsung.
My next phone will be from Sirius Cybernetics Corporation. I hear they're good, right?

It's not always just the device, it's the people who so casually interrupt me providing nothing of value. My retired, narcissistic, idiot, brother-in-law is my chief interruptor, costing me roughly 5 hours/week of prime working hours. He says that I need a break, expecting a thank you.

Exactly.
Why send an email when you can message and interrupt people’s flow, even when they have status as “Busy” or “In a meeting”.

Its the Elbonians. 
I am somewhat locked into an iPhone due to hearing aid app. Fortunately, I get the iPhones free via hand-me-down.
Other than prompting me to set up Apple pay once or twice a week (not gonna happen on my watch), it pretty much leaves me alone.
I have an agreement with it. I don't bother Siri and she doesn't bother me.

It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

Isn't Android open source? I wonder if it could be tweaked so these crap Samsung notifications could be disabled. They're currently immune, so they also spam me daily with puerile games and other shite to install.

I think it is, but I can't be arsed to dig through that much of Other People's Code (bleh) to figure it out.

Some apps, notably Samsung and Google apps on a Samsung phone, cannot have notification disabled.

The way Microsoft continues to add Copilot to every product, I was wondering when they'll add it to Notepad? Any guesses? I'm thinking it'll happen in Windows 12.

Hasn't Windows 11 done enough to render poor Notepad unusable?
Tab creep is real. WTH does it remember everything you've ever opened?

Because it wants to work like Notepad++.

What do you think of mashed potatoes?
|
|
|
|
|
You can mash them when they are raw, add some rye flour, shape balls about the size of large snowballs, with pieces of salt mutton and mutton kidney fat in the center of the balls. Boil for 20-25 minutes. Serve with a "sauce" of the boiling water stirred with butter (real butter, not margarine). This is one of the few hot dishes I know of where the accompanying drink is full fat milk.
Maybe that is not the dish you were thinking of. Anyway, it is delicious.

oohhhh wait ...
Anyway ...
As long as there is butter in them, yeah.

I'm strange.
I do not like mashed potatoes.
I like them baked, twice baked, raw with salt, french fried or any other way but don't you mash my food.
However, I will eat KFC mashed until the gravy is gone.
Told ya I'm strange.

From scratch or instant?
Doesn't matter, tell me when they are ready.

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
