Could use devices instead of adding buttons to each seat. Argh dammit, a reason for them to demand customers install a fucking phone app.

Not that I go to theatres these days anyways, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

Just have a QR code on the ticket that you can scan, opens up a website, and you are good to go. One time use, cannot reuse since bound to a ticket, and expires automatically when movie ends.

Am I the only one that turns off my phone when I'm in the movie theater?

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

I don't turn mine off but I do put it on silent and don't pull it out randomly during a movie.

Yeah but if they make an unnecessary app instead, then they can steal our data and advertise to those of us dumb enough to let apps issue whatever notifications they want! Think of the shareholders!
