Absolutely fucking not. My computer should make no sound that I don't explicitly ask it to make.

- criddell 2y agoWell if you've configured your environment to use an audible alert for some condition, haven't you explicitly asked it to make the sound?
- pavel_lishin 2y agoIf I don't explicitly control that condition, then I would say not. Something like "./run-long-task.sh; say 'Task is done'" is fine. An audible alert when an email arrives or a build fails is hell.
- dheera 2y agoI would absolutely love an office where every time a build fails there is a big "womp womp" sound in the office coming out of that person's machine.
- SoftTalker 2y agoYes. My computer can't even make a sound even if it wants to (no speakers connected). My phone has the same settings -- all sounds off, the exception is for turn-by-turn nav if I'm in a dense area, otherwise I just follow the blue line.
