A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How do people struggle with notifications? This is even weirder than the ad-blocking thing, because at least you are required to find and install a third party app to solve that. Every app ever has notification settings built-in. Just take 20 seconds out of your day to setup the app correctly when you first install it and you will likely never have to worry about it again.

You might have found out if you bothered to read the discussion before sharing your opinion.

Your "rhetorical question" and objections you raised were already answered in this thread before you raised them.

[–] Ilandar@aussie.zone 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

were already answered

It sounds like you still don't understand what a rhetorical question is.

Seems you're the one who doesn't understand what a rhetorical question is. Hint - it's not what you retrospectively call a question when you get called out on your laziness.

Nor is it rhetorical when you ask a question and then spend several lines going on about it, and making it clear that you really did want to talk about an answer.

Schrodinger's rhetorical question is when you decide whether your question was rhetorical or not based on people's reaction to it.

Didn't happen.

do some red circles and arrows help?

Also didn’t happen.

[–] Ilandar@aussie.zone 1 points 7 months ago

You can poorly circle (do you need to see a doctor...?) as many of my comments as you like, it won't change what I actually said.

What does this thread add to the discussion?

(this is not rhetorical)

Why are you asking me? I'm not the one accusing others of "nOt rEaDiNg dA tHrEaD bEfOrE u AsKeD a qUeStOn". My top level reply was on-topic. No one has actually provided an on-topic reply to it yet.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why are you asking me?

because you are the one who started it. people usually contribute information into public discussion with hope it will be useful to other readers.

I’m not the one accusing others of “nOt rEaDiNg dA tHrEaD bEfOrE u AsKeD a qUeStOn”.

no, you are the one AsKIng rHETOrIcal qUEsTioN 🤣

No one has actually provided an on-topic reply to it yet.

you were pointed to the fact that your questions were already answered and you can easily read these answers. that is as on topic as it can get.

you chose weird hill to die on.

[–] Ilandar@aussie.zone 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

because you are the one who started it.

???????????????

My top level comment was on-topic. No reply to me has been on-topic. No one has actually challenged me on any of the relevant detail of what I said. Are you guys just mad because I don't suffer from the same problems as you? Is that what is going on here?

[–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If you are a troll, well done. If you are really that dellusional, please get help.

[–] Ilandar@aussie.zone 1 points 7 months ago

If anyone is a troll here, it is you. Dropped into the thread, ignored the topic and every reply and instead went straight to the one that triggered you to begin a completely off-topic argument before rage-quitting when you encountered push-back

You've contributed absolutely nothing of value to the thread and can't even spell "delusional" correctly. Pathetic effort.
