   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 :)

     @aral aren't these your notifications?

     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.

     @aral Haven't ever seen that. Is that a new thing?

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