You forgot the 100 browser tabs as well. They have it get so bad that it no longer says a number, just a smiley.

[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is it Chrome that shows a smiley? I could have swore it showed the infinity symbol after a certain number, but I may be confusing it with Firefox. 😂

[–] AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago

Firefox has an infinity symbol after 100 tabs, idk about chrome tho

I do not even have the mental fortitude to ignore all those notifications

I have no idea how some people do it!

[–] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

I get like a few notifications a day, mostly just ntfy notification from all my autotion script telling me was something successfull or watchtower thelling me what docker container was update so that I know that it is cause of the update that something started behaving wrongly.

Everything else I ignore with passion, even have notification sound's and vibration turned off for specific app's so I don't get sound or vibration even if my phone is on full blast. Help's a lot.

You just do. I read the pop-up, if it’s important I open the app if not I do nothing and the notification just sits there. Also end of the day I just scroll trough my email inbox and see if there is anything important. If not I do nothing. And then once in a while I just purge certain emails based on the address. Inbox zero is just a waste of mental effort to me.

Misses the critical OS update she hasn't installed since 2021.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Except for the font size, this is my wife. 4,234 notifications, phone explodes sound every time she clicks something. "Sorry babe." After the 3000th time, maybe mute it when we're in bed?

I'm so glad this meme is starting to shift away from the "Best to close all recent apps" myth and into the real scourge. Notifications. Lmao

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I never understood why people thought manually closing the apps was good to begin with.

I have been letting them stack since iOS 6 ish or something, even when sometimes it was "needed" (we didn't have as much RAM as we do today).

Nowadays the real challenge is to keep apps alive/opened if you ask me lol, multitasking ain't the best thing ever, especially on Android (I switched).

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Back in the day, Androids memory management system sucked ass and iOS was better but not by much so there was a good reason to. Maybe myth was the wrong word, more like obsolete as it hasn't been true for many revisions as MM has been optimized tons since then

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah perhaps, I never had android in those days, but yeah, definitely you didn't need to do that with iOS back in the days, most apps would close itself just when leaving them.

Anyway I have seen people manually closing apps these days, iOS or Android doesn't matter, and it triggers something on me lol.

OMFG my fiancee refuses to turn down the brightness on her phone at night. Nothing like trying to sleep a foot away from a giant freaking lightbulb.

[–] vox@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

why not just leave it at auto?
both Samsung and apple have surprisingly good auto brightness! (even budget phones without a physical sensor)

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 7 points 2 years ago

If you've been using a phone at night at max brightness since 2011ish, chances are you have no rods left in your eyes and you're blind unless its at max brightness.

Like how people who blow their hearing out with loud music turn up the volume to continue to hear the music. It's a destructive cycle.

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Personally, auto brightness can't get dim enough at night, and indoors during the day it's annoying seeing the brightness shift everytime the lighting changes even a little. It's great if you're in the sun tho, it can go brighter than the manually set "max" brightness.

[–] aesopjah@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

try out Dimmer on F-Droid if you haven't already for the nighttime issue

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Imagine trying to force her to use the DC dimming feature lol.

[–] Senex@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

You forgot the 101 news and weather apps
