       OMG. Boomers and their phone that still make noises. I couldn’t even tell you what my ring tone sounds like. 🤷‍♂️

       @aallan you have it on silent all the time? I would miss calls if it didn't make a sound.

       @matthewvenn It’s on vibrate. I can’t remember the last time I turned the ringer on. But why would I want to talk to people on the phone? What’s wrong with texting me like a civilised person?

       @jbenjamint I turned my voicemail off 10 years ago. If they have that sort of message they can damn we’ll email me!

       @aallan @jbenjamint sidenote: leaving a voicemail saying "can you call me back" is just insane, why would anyone do that?!

       @paul @jbenjamint I can’t figure out why you’d make a phone call rather than message someone in the first place, voicemail is like trying to send someone a Fax. It belongs in the last century.

       @aallan @paul I have associates who still fax. I know because they scan them and send me the PDF.

       @jbenjamint @paul Faxes are still used by hospitals a lot. If you workmedical-adjacent it is something you still have to deal with.

       @aallan @jbenjamint it may still happen, I haven't worked in their tech support for a decade or so now, but a certain UK based bicycle and auto-parts high-street store used faxes as their internal communication mechanism, even well into the 2000's
