Well, I wasn’t telling you to remove everything Google, just saying you can add more sources and alternatives, and that’s just a plus.

Dunno why you’re talking about Windows and its apps, that’s a different matter altogether… Although yes, personally I’d ditch Windows even sooner than Google and Android. Tho I’ll definitely ditch both as soon as I can get a fully degooglable phone and some PC.

Regarding ntfy, nope I myself was surprised how damn smoothly it works, and it doesn’t register on battery consumption at all. I wish more apps would use it, as Google’s monopolistic notification system is really the only thing I “need”, and that’s only because they force it on me. When I have the time, I’ll be campaigning to foss apps to use ntfy.
