"postgres" background items added

Each time I go toggle the switch to turnoff the popup it works for my session.

That's not what those switches are for. They actually disable software in question. In some cases, there is some other mechanism that attempts to re-load the software. So you are likely causing the pop-ups yourself.

However, when I reboot the popups are back.

Are you only getting the popups at boot time? If so, then that doesn't sound too bad. Most people's complaints involve constant pop-ups.

I'd say it is best to wait until Apple gets this problem sorted out.

I'm afraid the pop-up are Apple's method of "sorting out" the problem. They are designed to annoy you so that you will contact the developers of your "postgres" software and encourage them to fix it. Postgres has never made a very good Mac version. This new design in Ventura is meant to weed out many of these older, poorly-developed and poorly supported apps so that Apple can continue the transition to iOS on the desktop.

If you don't need the software, you can uninstall it. However, software like this is often very difficult to uninstall, sometimes literally impossible. Good luck with that.

I can tell you that Apple seems to be aware of the problem and has no intention of fixing it. I think this new behaviour is the solution to other issues that are bigger problems, at least from Apple's perspective.
