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.
