I could be wrong about this... but perhaps having an emergency alert system meant to broadcast information that's so absolutely vital that you must read it... should give you more than exactly ONE chance to read it before taking the alert away with no notification history after you reflexively hit "OK" to stop the annoying sound...

On some android phones (I'm running GrapheneOS on Pixel 8) you can view an alert history and see the full message. It's in the emergency alert settings. In the Settings app. Where one would normally go looking for such notifications 🙄

@totalclaireity@toot.lgbt some way to mute it so I can actually read it without having my eyes deafened would also be acceptable

@totalclaireity@toot.lgbt yeah you'd think it'd drop it into notification list. some sort of specific clear, as most people just try to shut the phone up before really paying attention to anything

@totalclaireity@toot.lgbt drills teach people where they are. That the world can turn against them. That to be safe they need to be quiet and countable. Do they make people safer? Sometimes. But usually, it's about fear.
