I can't imagine a world where the state of my washing machine is so important that I need to be interrupted to tell me it's done.

- embedding-shape 8mo agoI can't image being so busy that hanging the clothes for 10 minutes could be seen as not important. We all live different lives :) Besides, the notification is for notifying us, doesn't mean we need to do it within N minutes, it can wait until your Very Important Business Call is over or whatever. As long as it's done before it starts to get overly humid and starts to smell.
- iso1631 8mo agoA notification is an interrupt. I.e "stop reading your book and pay attention to me"
- embedding-shape 8mo agoEh, ok, that's not how I treat them, and if you want to remain sane, you might want to give it a try to treat them differently too, because that sounds highly annoying and borderline frustrating.
- iso1631 8mo agoI don't have notifications on. I see it all the time with colleagues who are constantly stopping what they're doing to look at the latest slack or email or whatever on their phone, let alone the "breaking news" alerts that news companies like to push out every few hours Very few things need my attention now.
