@Gargron Europeans moaning about public transport have never travelled by rail in the north of England 😂😭

If anyone has a secret mobile phone hidden from an abusive partner, remember to switch off or put in airplane mode etc as described below, or the phone will be activated with the loud alert during the afternoon of Sunday 23 April.

Please share this to help keep others safe

The alert will say:

“This is a test of Emergency Alerts, a new UK government service that will warn you if there’s a life-threatening emergency nearby.

In an actual emergency, follow the instructions in the alert to keep yourself and others safe.

Visit gov.uk/alerts for more information.

This is a test. You do not need to take any action.”

Mobile phone masts in the surrounding area will broadcast an alert. Every compatible mobile phone or tablet in range of a mast will receive the alert.

Your mobile phone or tablet does not have to be connected to mobile data or wifi to get alerts.

You can opt out of emergency alerts, but the government advises you should keep them switched on for your own safety.

To opt out:

Search your settings for ‘emergency alerts’.
Turn off ‘severe alerts’ and ‘extreme alerts’.
If you still get alerts, contact your device manufacturer for help.

@aral @nellie_m @mastodonmigration @aurynn Oh. I didn’t know that about Mozilla.

@nellie_m @aral @mastodonmigration @aurynn a) is wrong. It’s optional but default for people not already in and their attempt to simplify onboarding and get people started right away.
b) ignores that their biggest contributor is Mozilla. The people behind Firefox and the last bastion of the web before it all succumbs to Google.
