I just imagined a horrible alternative universe where it's illegal for brand names to become corrupted regardless of whatever else happens to data. Eventually humanity would start communicating only in brand names to ensure messages get through. *shudder*

… and the offender is an 8-year-old even-whiter female who was found in the forest graveyard several years ago with no discernible parents.

I honestly wish all alerts were able to be turned off (including national bullshit)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah if where’s the thrill if you’re just gonna be notified of nukes & nados like a wuss

Also personally, prefer a 0.00% chance of finding a wandering elderly person or abducted kid to 0.00001%

(If either feature were frequently abused that would change my calculus, or maybe if I had severe anxiety(?) or a critical sleep schedule or something)

Edit: I mean this more lightheartedly than it sounds

if you're going to get nuked there's little that can be done, missing people are too common because many areas of the US do them on a county level leading to messages about missing people that are from more than 50 miles away. Probably part of why I hate them is that during a poorly coordenated school lockdown the national alert test happened and it terrified just about everyone in the school as every phone (even the silenced ones) blasted alarms while the teachers didn't know if the drill was a drill.

Search for "emergency" in your settings, I can apparently turn them all off (though I've never received one anyway)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I finally went in and did this a couple weeks ago. We were under flash flood advisory and every time the end timestamp was updated, we got another "severe" alert. I didn't need 8 very loud alerts going off over the course of a quiet evening at home.

If a flash flood had actually devastated your area, do you think you'd have the same stance on the alert

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I was just as alert after the first 3 alerts as after the 8th. The additional alerts didn't tell me anything new, they just gave me alarm fatigue.

And yes, it was bad. Roads were flooded. Buildings were flooded. People were evacuated. People died.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

there are generally actual alerts systems (that don't depend on expensive dodads) in areas prone to flooding.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Everywhere is prone to flooding if water is coming down hard enough for long enough.

Use adb, I've seen Canadian turn off all alarms using adb
