I noticed that all my notifications have a prefix. For SN notifications, it's "(AU)":

Same for https://www.toptal.com/project-managers/tomato-timer:

When I use the native command notify-send, I get no prefix:

I think I also received notifications with only "(A)" as the prefix but I don't remember from which application it was ...
I will add that info when I found out.
But maybe someone already has an idea?

What notification daemon are you using with i3? Also does this only apply to notifications from Chrome or other applications?
Okay, I use
dwmnow and the prefix is gone now on Brave and Chrome.I think I was usting
dunstfor the notification daemon.I'll pay you the bounty since you asked the best questions
Okay, lol, I just installed
dunstagain to usenotify-sendand now the prefix is there again for browser notifications which also usedunstnow.Whatever the browser used before didn't show the prefix.
So it's definitely related to
dunst!It's haunting me, lmao:

I require your wisdom @shibe
I think I figured it out. The A is a prefix set by dunst to indicate that the notification has an action (you can click on it), and the U shows that the notification has a URL with it.
You can disable this if you want, by editing ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc and changing the line show_indicators from true to false. If the file doesn't exist, then copy the default configuration file from /etc/dunst/dunstrc to ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc and then changing show_indicators to false
The issue I found this on, for reference: https://github.com/dunst-project/dunst/issues/599
lol, this so much
I was almost there though. I used
man 5 dunst(which opens the config documentation instead of the command documentation likeman dunst) to make notifications follow the screen on which my mouse is currently on. But I didn't think about looking in there for my prefix problem, lolYou were right!

Thank you very much, well deserved sats. That prefix annoyed me so much.
A SN bounty success story, this post is.
Thanks! Glad I could help.
I just wiped my laptop (for other reasons), I'll come back to this when I have a new setup.
Maybe later today, else tomorrow.
Thanks for your questions
Au is the element symbol for gold. Probably not related though. 🤔
lol
And you helped me realize that I still need to install some fonts since the last character doesn't render for me haha
Notification sound?

It's related to
dwm, funny guess though hahaGood to see that it's found. Neat that it actually wasn't a bug 🐛.
From when this hapen ?
wdym?
I think this has been like this for a while so no idea when this happened.
I have to do a new OS install anyway so let's see if it's still the case then
