@codl i get why it works that way but also what the fuck
@codl john windowman
@codl I hate that I knew this without having had to read it x_x
@codl yea i hate it
@codl this box has existed for a while, and now it puts the image ~somewhere~ when it closess, but for a long time it just got accidentally'd
@codl To be fair, the Windows clipboard can sometimes do this too, though at least usually programs built that way (like Excel) will warn you about it before exiting.
i don't mean the fact that there's three of them, that's awful but i already knew that, i mean the fact that if the program that put something in the clipboard goes away, the clipboard goes away too
that's not a clipboard! that's a post it note that says "for clipboard contents ask pid 69420"
