It becomes obnoxious no matter what it is when they're having a text conversation with someone and it's going off constantly
I'm pretty old but do you know the Woody Woodpecker laugh? I used to work with a girl back before smartphones that had that as her text notification. It was the whole thing which takes like five seconds so sometimes it was just that fucking sound almost non-stop. Here it is, cursed fucking creation.
It's kind of amazing that I haven't really thought about Woody Woodpecker since watching the cartoons as a kid and the animation doesn't look familiar at all other than yeah that's the right colors, but I could hear the laugh in my head immediately on seeing the name, without having to play the audio.
i couldn't even make it through the 8 second video. i cant begin to imagine what you must have gone through. my heart goes out to you
That sounds like something they would do to prisoners in Guantanamo.
I can't imagine the ptsd you have
Well they should silence it at that point because obviously they're paying enough attention to it and expecting responses, so they should be waiting for the vibrate if not looking at it directly.
But people don't need to have their phone silenced at all times while in public, they just need to be attentive enough to answer and silence it. I frequently don't even feel the vibration.
For me, if I’m actually having a conversation in public, I’ll silence my phone.
Right, but they were suggesting it should be silenced at all times, by default, even for the very first notification.
Put your phone on vibrate, you'll survive.
That's what my phone is set at 24/7, the only time it makes a noise from the speakers is when the alarm goes off in the morning.
I have my phone set so it sets itself to vibrate when it disconnects from my home WiFi. It turns the notification sounds back up when it reconnects. I've never had to worry about it again.
That's the way
No, I don’t think I will.
In the before time, the long long ago, people didn't have a portable social media machine
I meant I don’t think I’ll put it on silent. I barely use social media outside of Lemmy
