Pluralistic: Catch this! (16 Jan 2026)

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://pluralistic.net/2026/01/16/interrupt-driven/

Emma Thompson 👇🏽 is all of us who are pissed off by the constant nags to use #AI while we are busy writing or coding – just let us be 😠:

I've just blocked my ISP from sending me SMS messages, considering that they ALSO send me email at the same time. Maybe there is some setting somewhere on their website where I could turn it off, but, y'know, my time is valuable, so I've just blocked them on my phone. I do NOT fricken need to know, immediately, on my phone with a little tinkle, that my invoice is ready for my viewing, especially since I don't actually have to DO anything about it, since it's paid by automatic debit.

Yes, there are getting to be fewer and fewer things up with which I am willing to put. Call it the privilege of old age. (Being three months away from 60 counts as "old age", yes?)

Look, you online stores, and #AusPost, I DO NOT need to be informed that the seller is "preparing your parcel". What a bloody waste of MY precious time (and more importantly, my FLOW) to be INTERRUPTED for this completely pointless and trivial bit of information. I don't bloody care! If you MUST tell me something, send me an email when it has actually been delivered. I do not want to be reminded constantly that the parcel has not arrived YET.
