Hart of the WudMaybe we should stop calling them *Notifications* and instead refer to *Interruptions*.
"Working on some stuff so I've turned off interruptions for a while."
"Right on."

@praxeology @aldroid I put the no in notifications ^^
tessarakt@praxeology If they were implemented as supposed, they would be ok-ish for productive app ... E.g. taken back once the user saw the content in the app ...
Vicomte Folmer af HelvedeGreat idea!!
steeph's old profile – Now at @@praxeology "Android Interuption Center" - Ask somebody 20 years ago what they think that is. I want to say I'm looking forward for interesting responses. But I'm not. I'm looking backwards.
Sean Massa@praxeology indeed!
My explanation is: A Notification is a message that goes to an Inbox. An Interruption is how that gets in your way, which can take different forms.
Isocat@praxeology Yoink. Doing that starting now.

I kinda liked how notifications worked in classic iOS: A little window would pop up in front of everything, and you could acknowledge or dismiss it, and then it was gone forever.
They really were interruptions, and you didn't tend to enable them for too many apps.
Now the notification center is just another horrid inbox to go through. XD
SamThis so much! There are certainly things I need to get notified about. Do I have to be notified about it right then? (In the case of "drink some water so you don't dehydrate yourself", unfortunately, yes, I do. In the case of "this person liked your post", what am I going to do about that in the next fifteen seconds that I couldn't do in several hours?) Even if I do need the immediacy, will I ever have any reason to go back to it after seeing and dismissing it?
I guess that's what happens when one of our primary computer providers is an ad business. Who's up for overthrowing Google? 🙃

Even Apple is an ad company.
I've been off of iOS for four years now, and I was utterly shocked to see ads in the iOS App Store on a family member's phone a year or two ago.
Pretty shameless!
[ Jer moved instances ]@praxeology about 15-20 years ago I got a small grant from Google Cloud to build a thing that seemed like such a great idea at the time: a system that pulled in multiple notifications from various platforms and consolidated them into unique Android notifications so that there was always only one copy of notifications, in the same place every time. I very quickly realized, though, that what I actually wanted was "no notifications at all," turned off all notifications and never worked on it again lol
ghost_shit@praxeology Much like I refer to an intervention as an 'interference'.
Andrew@praxeology I always turn off email and chat notifications. Don't want them, I'll check when I'm ready.
I AM BANKSY ☕ / 🗑🔥@praxeology I always wanted an instant messenger client like ICQ, but called IRQ.
piofthings@praxeology isn’t as saleable! “In this new iPhone we have ai generated interruption summary, we summarize all your interruptions so you can be interrupted only once”… oh hey! Am I selling this too hard now? Maybe AI will rebrand Notifications after all 🥴🤪🤭

👾@praxeology Yeah but is there a way of, instead of switching them off, have them arrive at a certain time or times of the day?
Daniel S. Katz@praxeology If only all website and apps used this ...
"Would you like to turn on interruptions from us?"
Wolfgang@praxeology funnily, if some peripheral hardware needs to talk to the processor, it sends an electrical signal known as 'interrupt'. Wonder why hardware engineers introduced this term instead of 'notification'. Probably they knew how it feels.
Alex Bird@praxeology Yes!! I tried this out in a conversation with a coworker; it went well.
Me: "One sec, I'm just going to disable interruptions"
Them: "pardon me?"
Me: "You know, the number badges on the app icons? Interruptions. Some people call them notifications."
We had a good laugh. I think I may make this a permanent change to my vocabulary 😅.

synlogic@praxeology good idea. lately mostly theyve been advertisements. every app and website wants to emit notifs. every time I allow it they seem to abuse it for ads
sonja dolinsek@praxeology All my notifications are always off. I don't understand why some people might have notifications turned on. It makes no sense. I look at my phone when I have the time to do so. And only then.
Cassandrich@praxeology Or just get rid of them so we don't need a word for them except in the history books.
Francesco Ambrosini@praxeology as you work on and manage them, they can be called back ‘notifications’, reducing ‘interruptions’ to a very few of them.
Hubert Figuière@praxeology the same way they renamed "No" to "Later"
"Do you want to downgrade your device?"
"Yes" "Later".
Tom Boutell@praxeology I would reblog this but
Janeishly@praxeology I have almost all of them off all the time for exactly this reason. I'll decide when to look at social media or email, I don't need to be prodded into it every two seconds.
kaaswe@praxeology
Phone is constantly on mute since over 5 years ago, almost every Interuption are disabled.

ChrisM@praxeology also this. In the ancient times when I had an in person meeting, I remember that even though my colleague had his blackberry on silent mode ( really vibrate mode) that the buzzing every minute when he got emails was totally disruptive. And everytime it went off he would twitch like he was getting an electric shock! Modern Android technologies thankfully allow me to silence every email notification... Which I do.
