Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Sorry for a photo of a phone screen. I had trouble screen capturing the notification shade.

So, the person who designed that absolutely did it on purpose, right? Because if not, that is the funniest coincidence I’ve seen in a long while.

[–] the_joeba@lemmy.world 40 points 11 months ago

Speaking ass an app developer, the person who chose the text is probably not the person who did the development or testing. This is probably a default template where they just say "what's the title, what's the message". It would be very unlikely that it was anything butt a coincidence.

Truncated, not cropped.

Cropped is for images.

[–] bobagem@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Yes, agreed.

Hi Ass this is Action Butt please hold

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

A double whammy, nice.

from ~1 year ago I got the the same thing

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 20 points 11 months ago

Your phone font is making me twitch

[–] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Theirs is better as it says to press the butt

[–] friendlymessage@feddit.de 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's also better because the font is not awful

[–] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 14 points 11 months ago

I agree, but didn't mention coz it's their phone and they can make it as bad as they want.

[–] lawrence@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

AI is becoming too intrusive.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hey OP, did you know your account is set to appear as a bot and many might be filtering it.

[–] bobagem@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I did not know. Thanks for telling me. Fixed.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Thank you for acknowledging my attempt! I've made similar comments to other users at least five times and they all went ignored.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Shouldn't that mean they are... bots..?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

That's all I can conclude. I was actually surprised OP replied. But I knew they were human by how they interacted with users.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I mean. There are quite a few legit bots around. Especially on the news subs. The fediverse isn't quite as saturated yet with legit content submissions.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But engaging in the comments? I'm not talking about alien.top either.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I hope not. Although I keep seeing some people posting the same shit I saw on Reddit. Might just be lazy commenting though.

Old habits die hard

[–] oce@jlai.lu 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Still have the B icon next to your name.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Really? What app are you using? Maybe it's cached? The bot icon on sync went away for me as soon as OP turned it off.

[–] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Sync user here, OP still has bot icon.

Edit: Gone now

[–] oce@jlai.lu 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Oh that's even more confusing. Maybe make a bug report?

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

Thank you for sharing this. It will be a true Internet treasure for generations to come.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 8 points 11 months ago

~~Unfortunate~~ Fortunate cropping of a phone notification

Fixed.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Instructions unclear, became aroused

[–] shallowAF@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Somewhat related - anyone knows how to completely disable this message? I have turned off ASSistant, but this keeps popping up everytime I connect bluetooth headset. Thanks in advance

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 5 points 11 months ago

There's a streamer I sometimes watch on twitch who used to play a game and then spend some time watching analog horror that chat had recommended. He intentionally phrased his stream titles so they'd show up in twitch notifications as, "now: [game/activity] later: anal..."

[–] Unforeseen@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I'm more impressed you have multiple phones handy in order to be able to do said photo

[–] tiredofsametab@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

If not a screenshot, you do realize that things other than phones take pictures, right? Have people forgotten that cameras exist?

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Is this not a screenshot?

Edit: Maybe not, there are some strange moiré-like patterns surrounding the text...

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

It very obviously is not? You can literally see the frame of the phone and OP even said in the description that it is a photo of a phone screen.
