the manager to the side of my screen if I am using it a lot so I can use the

I'm happy with a single copy! ;-)

Most of the time it is fine... but good to be able to quickly find things you

All it would add is syncing between computers and changing the 200 up or down.

Trouble with computers is a lot of things have "edit undo". If only real life had that, we could have so much fun.

The worst thing to do is to send something to the wrong person, for example if you have two friends with the same first name, you type that first name then click the wrong one, and send something kinky to the other one.

I would never even bother trying that. As you said, how do I remember what I put where? It would only be any use if I was copying nad pasting a few different things for the same task, then I might remember. But it doesn't solve the problem of the copy key ignoring me, so I paste something else into the conversation. And if it's a live chat, you can't take it back!

I generally just do it the "normal" way but there have been some cases I want
to be pasting multiple things in multiple areas... but even then I use the
mouse to drag and drop from the clip board manager more than the hot keys.

Unless you have multiple screens or a very large screen, dragging and dropping is very difficult.

I have an iMac (smaller screen type, but still bigger than a notebook) and a
second screen attached. Even then drag and drop is usually easy.

The app is set to go away after a drag -- wish there was a pin icon to have it
stay. Sorta silly there is not given how the icon for the app itself is a
pushpin! But on the rare times I need that I just go to the settings and
change it, then change it back. I should send a suggestion to the author.

This is why I hated the older macs (I think they fixed it now) - if I wanted to copy or move a file from one folder to another, I had to have both on the screen at once, clumsily arranging them. In windows I just used CTRL-C to copy it, went to the destination, then pasted it.

I never had an issue with the old behavior but am happy they added the new as
an option.

Consider a normal Mac - no second screen, no huge screen. You have a folder open with some files in it and want to copy some somewhere else. With the old method you had to try to fit both folders on the same screen. Pure insanity.

No, one of you silly mac users inserted a superfluous 3D into the link. A C should follow the equals sign.

Odd. Should not be from the Mac... but who knows.

Probably html or ASCII or the like. It's amazing that even the space character causes problems, getting converted to %20 etc. 50 different standards for spacing and carriage returns, it's a bloody mess.

Yup.

You know what really ****es me off? I like to leave two spaces between sentences, it makes it easier to read. Some web forums (about 50% of them) delete a double space, due to a technical problem or oversight.

They haven't figured out what to do with those here. I think the one
wheel electric skateboards are banned in the city but hoverboards and
other configurations are a grey area.. eBikes are banned on some of the
trails. Full sized electric motorcycles like the Zero are treated as
other motorcycles.

woman noticed I had just been on the phone to someone, so asked if I'd
photograph them and call the police. I told her to go **** herself,
they're just having a bit of fun, and I'm sure you're capable of

[1] I know how heavy they are as I saw one later pushing one up a hill
that had broken down.

I once happened upon a Parks ranger in the Olympic Mountains walking
down the trail as I was going up. He had the front wheel of a motorcycle
tied to his pack. I asked him what he had the wheel for, and he told me
that he had happened upon someone on a dirt bike on the trail, which is
closed to motorized vehicles.

Think they got the message?

What a ******, ruining the fun of others. If I was one of the riders
and caught up to him, I would have pushed him off a cliff.

Although I've done similar to someone else, who was doing something
that's actually wrong. I saw some folk out shooting deer at the top of
some hills. The landrover (a 4x4 if you're an American) was parked with
the keys still in it, facing a steep slope, so I placed it in neutral..
A slight lean on the back and a loud crash was heard a few minutes later
after I made my way down the path.

Just another trumptard murderer?

What I'd prefer is just the single copy key, but it keeps a history, so if I say "oh ****, I just overwrote the clipboard!" I can go back to a previous one.

The standard command+P to paste works fine and is what I generally use. Same
with C for copy.

Not if you command-C, get interrupted, command-C something else, then lose the first one. I've done that many times.

Yes. It works for times when I do that, not that I ever would being as perfect
as I am.

Except with a PC it's CTRL, which I remember my schoolfriend telling me it meant "computer tries to reload". This was in the days of the BBC 32KB computers.

I go back and forth with no real issue -- knowing to use control on Windows
and ChromeOS and Command on macOS. The few times I use a terminal on Linux or
Windows it always seems weird the "standard" copy and paste does not work. I
get why.

What doesn't work?

Terminals use things like Control+C to abort (terminate) a processes. You try
to copy and you literally kill whatever process (app) you are using! Some
processes will thankfully warn you and you do not lose everything, but the
concept is absurd. The UNIX way was first... then Apple used the Command key
(they used to call it the Open Apple key) and then Windows and later Linux
copied the Mac but did it in a way where they used the UNIX keys to do the
wrong thing. On Windows that is not quite so bad, but Linux is a UNIX clone.

Also do not like the weird hand calisthenics needed with Control,
though not a big deal.

I press the CTRL with my little finger, and the X/C/V with my first finger. I'd find CMD in the wrong place - next to spacebar isn't it? Too close.

I use my thumb for the Command key... and out of habit do so when on Windows
or Linux, so yeah, I likely am having the issue because I do it wrong. I also
am a CRAPPY typist... the "normal" way uses so many fingers!

I have been hitting the "send" button as my brain registers an error and
screams "NOOOOOOOO!"

On forums which allow editing, I get lazy and just send, then proofread and adjust it. Sometimes I make so many adjustments, and someone replies so quickly, that they reply to something I've no longer written, or miss out on more information I added.

I have done that.

How many have you been banned from?

A few on Facebook... groups that are supposed to be "debate" or "political"
groups -- but are run by right wingers. All it takes is posting links to fact
checking sites, or scientific sites, to get many right wingers angered.

I keep ****ing off the left wingers (and pro-vaxxers) in imgur. My score is now -220, which apparently is still "neutral".

I tend to fact check things people post. That irks some.

Speaking of being a crappy typists, I have no idea what error I made, but the
autocorrect changed "irks" to "girls". Um, what?

I've been silently censored on World Community Grid (one of those science projects). I could post and see my reply, but if I made a fake account and logged in, the posts were invisible. I found them out, sent a very rude email to the admins, and removed all my computers from their research. Censorship is wrong, end of story.

Sneaky of them to do it in a "silent" way.

Indeed. At least the cryptography project admin just said "I won't respond to such a rude question", and left the post there, despite me getting the Large Hadron Collider project admin to argue with him too. They're both getting more of my 90 CPU cores now that I banned WCG.

And, I've found 7 arithmetic progressions of primes! Don't ask me what that means. See if you can explain this like I'm five:
229634460420232057+216066175*23#*n for n=0..21

You found a really, really big number. There are not other numbers you can use
to multiple together to get that answer.

The worst thing to do is to send something to the wrong person, for example if you have two friends with the same first name, you type that first name then click the wrong one, and send something kinky to the other one.

I am too cheap to buy a package tracker that works on both my computer and my
phone so I have a free on on each. They do not communicate -- but that is OK,
I only want some on my phone anyway. For those ones I right click on the item
on the computer one and select "Send to Mail" and then mail to an address I
have listed as "Package Tracker". Sometimes I only type the "pa" and wait for
it to autofill. Well, if I have recently emailed someone which that is
relevant to I will create an email to that person showing my tracking stuff.
Usually catch it... except once. Now I try to be a bit more careful. Patrick
did not want to know when the inflatable sheep was getting to my house.

Google translate says "Et cum spiritu tuo" means "And with your spirit",

You really need google translate for a simple Latin phrase? Modern

Why is America still teaching Latin? It's not used in everyday society.

I doubt they do anymore. When I was in high school the theory was Latin
was the basis in part for many languages. The shop and business kids
took Spanish which would have been handier in later life.

The college entrance kids took two years of Latin and then a modern
European language, usually French for the arty types and German for the
STEM crew.

French was interesting. Due to the French Canadian influence some
students spoke Quebec French which had departed from continental French
in the 17th century. The teachers had mostly learned Parisian French.

200 up or down.

What I'd prefer is just the single copy key, but it keeps a
history, so if I say "oh ****, I just overwrote the clipboard!" I can
go back to a previous one.

The standard command+P to paste works fine and is what I generally
use. Same
with C for copy.

Not if you command-C, get interrupted, command-C something else, then
lose the first one. I've done that many times.

Yes. It works for times when I do that, not that I ever would being as
perfect
as I am.

Except with a PC it's CTRL, which I remember my schoolfriend telling
me it meant "computer tries to reload". This was in the days of the
BBC 32KB computers.

I go back and forth with no real issue -- knowing to use control on
Windows
and ChromeOS and Command on macOS. The few times I use a terminal on
Linux or
Windows it always seems weird the "standard" copy and paste does not
work. I
get why.

What doesn't work?

Terminals use things like Control+C to abort (terminate) a processes. You
try
to copy and you literally kill whatever process (app) you are using! Some
processes will thankfully warn you and you do not lose everything, but the
concept is absurd. The UNIX way was first... then Apple used the Command
key
(they used to call it the Open Apple key) and then Windows and later Linux
copied the Mac but did it in a way where they used the UNIX keys to do the
wrong thing. On Windows that is not quite so bad, but Linux is a UNIX
clone.

Also do not like the weird hand calisthenics needed with Control,
though not a big deal.

I press the CTRL with my little finger, and the X/C/V with my first
finger. I'd find CMD in the wrong place - next to spacebar isn't it?
Too close.

I use my thumb for the Command key... and out of habit do so when on
Windows
or Linux, so yeah, I likely am having the issue because I do it wrong. I
also
am a CRAPPY typist... the "normal" way uses so many fingers!


I usually do a quick test post before I send in anger (as it
were!)



I have been hitting the "send" button as my brain registers an
error and
screams "NOOOOOOOO!"

On forums which allow editing, I get lazy and just send, then
proofread and adjust it. Sometimes I make so many adjustments, and
someone replies so quickly, that they reply to something I've no
longer written, or miss out on more information I added.

I have done that.

How many have you been banned from?

A few on Facebook... groups that are supposed to be "debate" or
"political"
groups -- but are run by right wingers. All it takes is posting links
to fact
checking sites, or scientific sites, to get many right wingers angered.

I keep ****ing off the left wingers (and pro-vaxxers) in imgur. My score
is now -220, which apparently is still "neutral".

I tend to fact check things people post. That irks some.

Speaking of being a crappy typists, I have no idea what error I made, but
the
autocorrect changed "irks" to "girls". Um, what?

Presumably the alg decided that since k and l are adjacent and adding g made
it a real world.

The iOS voice to text input is even weirder. It does keep track of
what you have said previously but does some really weird stuff
with what it initially gets right and then changes to some quite
different phrase later, and you can see the change sequence.

I've been silently censored on World Community Grid (one of those
science projects). I could post and see my reply, but if I made a fake
account and logged in, the posts were invisible. I found them out,
sent a very rude email to the admins, and removed all my computers from
their research. Censorship is wrong, end of story.

Sneaky of them to do it in a "silent" way.

Indeed. At least the cryptography project admin just said "I won't
respond to such a rude question", and left the post there, despite me
getting the Large Hadron Collider project admin to argue with him too.
They're both getting more of my 90 CPU cores now that I banned WCG.

And, I've found 7 arithmetic progressions of primes! Don't ask me what
that means. See if you can explain this like I'm five:

Windows 10 has a bug (oh, you use a mac, must blame your fingers instead) - sometimes copying doesn't do anything, so you end up pasting the last thing from the clipboard, which could be rude!

I am trying to get used to control+option+1, 2, 3, for my past several
clipboards (I have a clipboard manager) but find it is easier to use the menu
in most cases. Who can remember what you copied and in what order? I do pin
the manager to the side of my screen if I am using it a lot so I can use the
hot keys.

I'm happy with a single copy! ;-)

Most of the time it is fine... but good to be able to quickly find things you
copied a bit ago. I have more clipboards than I can imagine using: 200. That
is their default and to change it you have to pay a few bucks for the "Pro"

The main thing I use it for is just having a searchable list of things I have

I think it is a very human thing to do. It is odd, though, in that at least
for me part of my brain seems to know to NOT hit the send button but the
muscle memory is already doing it almost on auto-pilot.

Some things in life cannot be undone. Posting a letter, you can't get it back out.

Trouble with computers is a lot of things have "edit undo". If only real life had that, we could have so much fun.


I love hearing people speak of how things that are unclear are "pixelated" or
how they "deleted" something they thew out. Human thinking os weird.

They would have to be really geeky to use computer terminology in everyday life. I've never heard anyone say that.

I have an iMac (smaller screen type, but still bigger than a notebook) and a
second screen attached. Even then drag and drop is usually easy.

The app is set to go away after a drag -- wish there was a pin icon to have it
stay. Sorta silly there is not given how the icon for the app itself is a
pushpin! But on the rare times I need that I just go to the settings and
change it, then change it back. I should send a suggestion to the author.

This is why I hated the older macs (I think they fixed it now) - if I wanted to copy or move a file from one folder to another, I had to have both on the screen at once, clumsily arranging them. In windows I just used CTRL-C to copy it, went to the destination, then pasted it.

I never had an issue with the old behavior but am happy they added the new as
an option.

Consider a normal Mac - no second screen, no huge screen. You have a folder open with some files in it and want to copy some somewhere else. With the old method you had to try to fit both folders on the same screen. Pure insanity.

There were times. Now I do this often but do not use copy and paste but drag
and drop -- just open a separate tab in the Finder and navigate to where I
want to go. Then I go back to the first tab and drag to the second. Or if I am
doing it a lot I put the folder in the side bar (or toolbar, but usually side
bar).

Far too much hassle, juggling between two windows.

In the old days you had to, gasp!, drag to a folder and hover for a bit -- it
would open and you could navigate that way. That way still works but I rarely
use it... though I sometimes drag to the tab, wait for it to open, and then
realize I wanted a sub folder so I combine the two.

There's something in Windows like this but I don't like it. On the left is a column showing the hierarchy of folders. If I drag a file there and hover over a folder, the subfolders open up, but what usually happens is I drop the file somewhere, but just as I let go of it, it decides to open the ones underneath and shift everything upwards so it falls into somewhere else. Now I have to go find where that file went.

I nearly did that while testing my handbrake for the recent MOT. It worked better than expected, and I couldn't disengage it quickly enough. I didn't mean to do a handbrake turn!

The video is now gone.

No, one of you silly mac users inserted a superfluous 3D into the link. A C should follow the equals sign.

Odd. Should not be from the Mac... but who knows.

Probably html or ASCII or the like. It's amazing that even the space character causes problems, getting converted to %20 etc. 50 different standards for spacing and carriage returns, it's a bloody mess.

Yup.

You know what really ****es me off? I like to leave two spaces between sentences, it makes it easier to read. Some web forums (about 50% of them) delete a double space, due to a technical problem or oversight.

The standard for typing was two spaces. The standard for computers is one.
Yeah, it can be annoying for us old folks.

Nothing to do with age or what you're used to. It's for clarity. A bigger gap between sentences than between words is easier to read. In your sentence above, I have to go by the tiny one pixel fullstop, or the capital letter (of which there are some in the middle of sentences).

Windows 10 has a bug (oh, you use a mac, must blame your fingers instead) - sometimes copying doesn't do anything, so you end up pasting the last thing from the clipboard, which could be rude!

I am trying to get used to control+option+1, 2, 3, for my past several
clipboards (I have a clipboard manager) but find it is easier to use the menu
in most cases. Who can remember what you copied and in what order? I do pin
the manager to the side of my screen if I am using it a lot so I can use the
hot keys.

I'm happy with a single copy! ;-)

Most of the time it is fine... but good to be able to quickly find things you
copied a bit ago. I have more clipboards than I can imagine using: 200. That
is their default and to change it you have to pay a few bucks for the "Pro"
version. Not worth it to me.

If you care, this is what I use: https://copyless.net

Or at the App Sto https://apps.apple.com/app/id993841014

All it would add is syncing between computers and changing the 200 up or down.

Thanks for the tip!

I usually do a quick test post before I send in anger (as it were!)



I have been hitting the "send" button as my brain registers an error and
screams "NOOOOOOOO!"

haha! :-D I've done that too!

The worst thing to do is to send something to the wrong person, for example if you have two friends with the same first name, you type that first name then click the wrong one, and send something kinky to the other one.

I am too cheap to buy a package tracker that works on both my computer and my
phone so I have a free on on each. They do not communicate -- but that is OK,
I only want some on my phone anyway. For those ones I right click on the item
on the computer one and select "Send to Mail" and then mail to an address I
have listed as "Package Tracker". Sometimes I only type the "pa" and wait for
it to autofill. Well, if I have recently emailed someone which that is
relevant to I will create an email to that person showing my tracking stuff.
Usually catch it... except once. Now I try to be a bit more careful. Patrick
did not want to know when the inflatable sheep was getting to my house.

What's a package tracker? If I want to see where something I've bought is, I go to the website of the company that's delivering it.

You can put bread in the toaster "landscape" or "portrait". Or try to
enlarge print on a page by stretching it (unpinching?) with your
fingers. I've heard.

The main thing I use it for is just having a searchable list of things I have
copied through the day. Useful in many situations.

I think it is a very human thing to do. It is odd, though, in that at least
for me part of my brain seems to know to NOT hit the send button but the
muscle memory is already doing it almost on auto-pilot.

Or maybe just geeky to catch it.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
