Looks like the kidnapper also stole the null terminator for this string!

The text message representation of having a phone call and going through a tunnel mid sentence.

White? That’s an ethnic name.

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

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 13 points 1 month ago

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

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

[-] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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.

[-] cumming_normi@yiffit.net 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 4 points 1 month ago

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

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.
