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.

You'd hope so! But alas, some idiots exist. And when a title like this appears, it becomes difficult to tell if such an idiot wrote it at first glance, and more to point, a title like that tends to create more idiots (and it's also just kinda offensive). That's why it's important not to write headlines like this.
Sidenote: If you want people to not take things personally, avoid personal pronouns. "Is that something that you need explained?" → "Is that something that people need explained?" It makes a world of difference and I'm confident I've avoided several arguments that could've spawned from my own posts thanks to making that kind of change. Not foolproof, sure – we are on the internet – but it helps.
You were the only one here suggesting this required an explanation.
Explaining this would be like explaining that women can dress themselves. It's unnecessary and suggests the opposite.
Alright, I think you're being deliberately antagonistic now. Bye!
