Public bug reported:
When plugging in headphones the hearing damage notification pops up.
The options are "cancel" and "ok"
For me i feel like the results of pressing either option is reversed,
even though it makes some sense when read carefully.
I.e. I expected "ok" to suppress the sound. And "cancel" to allow higher
volume. I have the opposite case on the nexus 4.
The default should always be to protect the owner of the device.
Which means presenting the cenario "i will put your ears in danger, ok?“
is actually offering a harmful outcome rather than preventing it.
“I have supressed volume to protect you, ok?“ seems to make more sense
to me.
However, reversing it now would present a moral dilemma since people are
used to the way it currently acts.
