Nah, vernacular English be like:
"Ain't nobody got no time for that!"
Multiple negations in English tend to emphasize negation rather than negate it.
On a programming note, I do try to adjust symbol names and conditionals to not
use negation, and
version (!Feature)
is deliberately not supported :-)
This is because of cognitive problems humans have with negation, and of course
the natural language ambiguities with it.

Oh you're right. In my defense, in Romanian and a few other languages, double
negation counts as a negation. In vernacular English as well, I should add:
"Ain't nobody got time for that!"
So what I meant was... I'm fine with disabling the notifications.

You, sir, are employing a double negative! Andrei, I presume you meant
"no, I don't disagree with disabling them", with a fine use of quadruple
negatives.
