It's called having an opinion and expressing it. You can accept my opinion, ask me to elaborate or convince me it's wrong. What you can't do is accuse me of trolling just because you disagree.
No, I thought you were being hyperbolic, but after you've explained your problems with signaling, I agree with it. Kind of depressed at the state of that, now...
You and me both. I've wasted way too many neurons trying to understand this legacy brain damage. Hyperbole doesn't quite do it justice, it's a design that deserves an epic rant like mpv's locale commit:
