That doesn’t solve the main problem mentioned above: that some notifications from some apps are useful, but they don’t let you fine tune which notifications are permitted and which are disabled: you either get everything, including the marketing / adware notifications, or nothing at all.

> Could have been far worse for their family back in China

what would they do, genuinely, to their family? Googling it only gives results about anything related to Tiananmen Square to be immediately censored, but little on the actual other consequences.

I must confess the results don't seem too relevant for my first search: as I recently lost a family member to it, I searched "philosophy suicide", and got the following:

* Post-Human Capitalism and Revolution: Detroit and Blade Runner 2049

* The voice in your head: How a movement of people who hear voices is reshaping our understanding of mental illness – and consciousness itself.

* The Ghosts of Mark Fisher

* The radicalism of Randolph Bourne: Bourne’s affinity with outsiders drove his vision of making North America a united states of communities. A century on, his writings have become more relevant than ever

* Is the quest for immortality worse than death?

* The Dangers of Meritocracy

So far only the 4th result seems more than just tangentially relevant, and I know of much more relevant mainstream podcast episodes specifically dealing with the philosophy of suicide, but none of those seem to come up.
