ive been made to care about how the clipboard works in x11 recently and: what the fuck
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"
call it.. away place.

@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.
someone should make a new display server for linux
