Isn’t 500 a http error?

Internal server error: A generic error message, given when an unexpected condition was encountered and no more specific message is suitable.

A misconfigured server isn’t really dystopian.

Intentionally misconfigured to guarantee a malicious default setting is dystopian.

A temporary server error while trying to save settings to a server is not dystopian

All the development time went into the option that requires the user to agree to more surveillance. Did they even attempt to do QA on the “disagree” option?

500 errors may be transient, possibly because the app isn’t connected to the network.

It may well work fine a minute later or for someone else.

You are right.

I was thinking of a case where there was a network connection problem and instead of precisely reporting that, the frontend told the user it was a 500 instead.
