   Anyone know why #GNOME exposes a list of applications on the lock screen?

   It’s not even the correct list of running applications, you can’t do anything with them, and I’m not sure I understand the logic behind this design decision at all.

   #design #GNOME #lockScreen

     @farshidhakimy Ah, is that what they are. Given they provide no information and you can’t do anything with them, I’d always assumed is was a list of your running applications until I realised they don’t match that list.

     My question remains :)

     @farshidhakimy @aral Yes, these are notifications, and it drives me a little bit crazy that the lock screen shows notifications that appeard before the screen was locked, and that there's no timeout for any notifications, so you have to manually dismiss them all all the time.

     Apparently they’re notifications (thanks, @farshidhakimy) even though the notification text isn’t displayed so… 🤷

     Anyway, you can turn them off from Settings → Notifications → Lock Screen Notifications.

     (This should be the default.)

     @fell @farshidhakimy Yeah… it’s basically visual noise.

     @aral @farshidhakimy I think this is what happens if you tell it to show notifications on the lockscreen, but not the notifications' content, which is a privavy setting, I believe.

     @TexJoachim No idea; have been there for a while but I run Fedora Silverblue which is always up-to-date.

     @fell @farshidhakimy I get the latter. But without the latter they’re basically useless so why are they there (much less by default?) :)
