> knows when not to interrupt

I wish all forms of pop-up notifications knew this.

If I log into a security camera interface after an event triggered, that's not the time to tell me about a software update.

If I log into a news website because of a local crime, that's not the time to tell me about your fancy newsletter.

If I log into a brokerage during trading hours, that's not the time to tell me about your new interface.

I click all of these things away reflexively because they appear at the wrong time.

And sometimes you click a permanent action ('ignore' or 'accept' or 'decline') out of muscle memory or an imprecise click. Just this morning I _think_ I allowed some telemetry on a system I use (but don't want telemetry on) because by the time I had registered the text I'd already clicked it and now I can't work out which setting I need to toggle back
