If you built a macOS desktop app that makes notification sounds even when the machine is in "Do Not Disturb" focus mode you should feel very bad about what you have done

(My laptop made two mysterious ping noises during the online talk I gave this morning)

Thinking about this further: there is genuinely not a scenario in the world where I want my computer to make a noise to accompany a notification. That's what my phone is for.

Dear God in heaven the terminal bell being on by default freaks me out whenever I set up a new machine.

I like shell tab-completion so endure bad terminal bells, but don't feel so put out by them (mind you, when it disturbs office-mates, I do feel put out).

But just recently switched from Gnome Terminal to kitty to be able to have ligatures from Nerd Fonts typefaces actually work, and was pleasantly surprised by its terminal bell.
