I dont know about others, but sometimes I am not able to check my phone, or be fully present in a conversation that I’m part of. Maybe I’m concentrating on work, or driving, and not able to look. It gets distracting when my phone is constantly buzzing and chiming for 5 minutes straight. Muting the chat can help, but if you...
I think that’s a good idea, my solution is to mute group chats and check them when I’m free, but it’s not ideal for the reasons you’ve mentioned.
In whatsapp there’s only the option to mute the chat.
In discord there’s granular level of control that allows me to mute everything but direct notifications (@d00ery).
But if you implemented such a feature, how would you limit it?
i.e. one notification for the first message and then mute all replies for 5 mins? What happens when that one person who always replies an hour later messages?
Could we use AI to check if the conversation is still related to the original message?
From a dev perspective there’s all sorts of solutions but I wonder how would one find the sweet spot.
As a fan of both authors I’d just like to point out the quote is from Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
I’ve never really thought about it and I don’t have the vocabulary to describe it, but they have similar humour in the way they look at humans and social interaction.

I’m trying to make sure that if I import a phone to my country, it will likely work pretty much wherever I may go here. Most phones I’m looking at support every 4G band operated here, but I’ve noticed that on the GSM arena website, they will often give a list of supported bands for a given phone followed by a dash and a...

I access my MS Outlook emails using the Gmail app on android, I do wonder if Google does the same in storing passwords and having access to those emails. (Not defending Microsoft here, a genuine question I might even look up)
Just skimming the text, and the fact that it shows the Microsoft login screen leads me to believe it’s not storing login details on Google servers.
SSO, yes I wasn’t sure. Better practice than the outlook client storing login details on their server!
Good point on the replies lol. No matter how much I might try to keep my email provider out of my data, by sending the email to someone else it their email client might share it!
There needs to be a way to only get one push notification for every new message in a group chat

If GSM arena lists a certain band frequency as supported by a phone but says - USA at the end of the list, does that mean the same phone won't work in another country operating towers on that band?
