> The `reducedData` preference instructs applications to minimize internet traffic, as users might be on a metered network or a limited data plan.
> 
> This corresponds to the following OS settings:
> 
> Windows: Settings -> Network and Internet -> Ethernet/WiFi -> Metered connection
> macOS: Settings -> Network -> Ethernet/WiFi -> Network Settings -> Low data mode
> Ubuntu: Settings -> Network -> Wired/WiFi -> Metered connection
> 
> Change notifications work consistently on Windows and macOS. On my Ubuntu 24 system, the GIO `network-changed` signal is not sent when I only toggle the "metered connection" flag in network settings (and there's no signal specifically for low-data mode). The new value is only picked up when the connection changes by coming offline or going online.
