mislabled setting ? #212

Closed theotheroracle closed 7 months ago

theotheroracle commented 7 months ago

Describe the bug the "do not click this setting" does not describe what it does, but it seems to reset settings or something of the sort ?

Expected behavior it should either describe what it does, or not be present in release builds ?

Additional context

Upstream relevance

Add any other context about the problem here.

No, you should just not click it.

theotheroracle commented 7 months ago

if theres an option called "dont click me" people are going to click it :/

release builds of software should not troll their own users with destructive actions that are easy to trigger without knowing and not possible to undo. that's extremely user-hostile default behavior

Yeah, I will not stop you from doing so if you really want to - just note it will do nothing useful to you

It's not meant for trolling. This is a setting that changes the default settings to my preferred settings. As developer, I do fresh installs way more often than normal users, so this really increases my productivity, if I don't have to re-setup everything all the time. Granted I could have hidden it in some other way, but I didn't have a good idea at the time and I can spend my time on more meaningful things as well.

I would argue that it's not easy to trigger by mistake since it will launch a dialog asking whether you really want to continue.

What if you changed it to say "default settings" or "developer default settings" or something of the sort?

I'd rather hide it better then changing the name. I'm a bit tired of this discussion right now (it amazes me what kind of apparently serious issues people have with some small aspect that can make the dev-ing more fun and motivate me more to pursue this hobby... I had to deal with some very troublesome user yesterday so my mood is already a bit damaged, sorry not your fault), maybe I'll hide it for non-internal builds later.
