(title added by lemmy community mod). Original text:
last month when my car and I were smashed to bits by a drunk driver, just as the fire department was pulling my broken body through the crumpled door, the dashboard started flashing GOODBYE GOODBYE GOODBYE and I did not need that. I did not.

Image description: Meme titled "All robots and computers must shut the hell up" and goes on to state that all machines should not speak unless spoken to and that "I will never speak to you"

The self checkout kiosks at my local store hit you with a loud, “THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING AT GROCERY STORE.” Every time I pointedly respond, “Please do not shout at me. I’m right here.”

Someone mentioned muting them. How do you do that? (With a brick?)

Some of them have a volume/mute toggle, usually at the bottom of the screen. Unfortunately, some stores are now removing the mute functionality because… I don’t know. Because they hate people with sensory issues, I guess.
