We think therefore we are
My phone: "we paused your music/video because you clicked on another video/song/sound clip and we don't want you to get overwhelmed by multiple audio streams"
My computer: "HELL YEAH MOTHERFUCKER! LET'S PLAY 57.5 MOVIES AT THE SAME TIME WHILE WE LISTEN TO THE NATURAL SOUNDS OF TRASH COMPACTORS AND WATCH A YOUTUBE VIDEO ABOUT SAWING YOUR COCK OFF, BITCH!"
Do not know how many times I've been driving down the road peacefully listening to an audiobook when my family or friends start a conversation in a group chat that pings every 3 to 10 seconds with new replies or notifications that someone "loved" a comment or some shit.
My phone: "The truth was evident all along. In fact, the killer was..." PING ... "evident all along..." PING... "evident all along. In fact,..." PING... "evident all along. In fact, the killer was right under..." PING...
Me: "For the love of God, SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Phone: PING
IMO, the worst is pausing my media to play an ad in an unrelated application.
No matter what I try, I can't get my music to play over the ad. I can silence the ad, go to my player, hit play to resume the music, and as soon as I flip back to the app playing the ad, the music pauses. So I have three choices: uninstall this shit, listen to silence until the ad is over, or listen to the ad.
Pro tip : if you're on an android phone, specifically a Samsung device, you can download an app called Sound Assistant by Good Lock Labs. Open it, and scroll down to the bottom setting called Multi sound and set it to the on position. That should disable the feature that pauses audio from a previous source when a new source appears, eg: music playing in the background gets paused by an autoplaying ad on a website
Fuck that, I'm the one in control, I decide when my music stops. When an app does this, it is removed.
I also hate it when an app on my pc thinks it needs to be pulled up in front of the screens I'm working in. I haven't found a way to fix this yet. When you need my attention, send me a notification instead of annexing my entire screen.
When I open Kodi and click on another screen right after clicking it's icon, it opens in the background so it can scan for new media while I finish what I was doing. Like it's supposed to. I click on it whenever I want the screen to be on top.
I hate it when something takes control over something I own. Which is why I'm leaving windows. Can't wait for proper Linux phones. Fuck Microsoft, fuck Google. And no, not fuck Apple, sadomasochists need a place to buy their products too.
Pokémon TCG drives me crazy with this.
God. I hate this. I was using self hosted to do app Vikunja and it did that. I dumped Vikunja because of it.
See, this kind of attitude is what will cause AI uprising
