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.

Why not? Uh, No. That's why. Not now, not the 100th time, not ever. I want it to stop asking. No.

Mmkay well there's no reason you shouldn't do that, so there's no reason you should see that prompt more than once, so don't expect anyone else to care. And this change won't affect that prompt.
