"Closed as duplicate" has nothing to do with effort or question quality. The only thing that matters is whether the linked questions/answers contain the solution.
- metabagel 4y agoThey didn't answer my question, so I don't regard them as dupes. I had my question answered in Discord or IRC somewhere, I forget exactly where.
- DangitBobby 4y agoI would say based on the linked conversation that they linked answers do answer your question. Or at least, from an outsider perspective, they should have allowed you to reach a workable solution (though maybe without directly answering you actual question). I've had similar questions where I'm told it's a duplicate or that the error message says exactly what the problem is, but I'm just so uncomfortable in the language that I can't recognize it. It feels really bad when people roll their eyes and link you (or tell you to go back to the documentation, which is the ultimate "fuck you" from someone you've asked for help) to something that you also don't quite understand. If I "got" it I wouldn't be here asking this question.
