Does anyone have any clue?

My best guess would be some relatively passive notification stealing focus.

As reddeadhead mentioned, there’s specific “don’t steal focus” settings. I’ve had good luck with them.

I remember those days, as well!

Jeff Bezos never smashed the window on my car to steal my speakers,

True.

he doesnt come out vandalising public transport or parks and he isnt the reason my wife doesnt feel safe walking around at night.

If we could even comprehend the scale of his unpaid taxes, or their impact on our parks, we might discuss this at length…

Did I miss something, or is a 12 year old in France now in (indefinite?) police custody for being curious online?

Altair Basic was released in 1978 for hardware that sold around 25,000 units..

I’m sure glad computing remained exactly equally complex since then, with exactly the same number of users, and same minimal diversity of use cases. (This is sarcasm.)

Everything should still take 10 days. Anyone who tells me it takes longer probably believes all that crap about the Internet being more than a passing fad. (Still sarcasm.)
