That’s why I clicked on the little “X”!
YES I want to empty the fucking trash. That’s why I clicked on the “empty trash” button!
Not every thing I do is a mistake. In fact, only a very small number of things I do daily are mistakes. I resent your assumption that everything I do is a mistake.
Fuck you and your constant confirming every god damn thing I do on the fucking computer!
That is all.
Are you sure you want to post this Pit thread?
Sound like you need to give Linux a try.
This is the year of Linux on the desktop. I can feel it!
Especially in new email windows where I haven’t even typed anything, yet.
Except the first time it happens because you accidentally clicked the X and didn’t get asked if you really wanted to do that. Then your rant becomes ‘why didn’t they make sure I really wanted to nuke Switzerland???’
Of course I wanted to nuke Switzerland! With enemies you know where they stand, but with Neutrals, who knows? It sickens me!
Close the close!
Close the close!
Close the close!

Closing the window isn’t much of a risk. Emptying the trash could be problematic.
I’ve always wondered if that wasn’t a trigger for some evil thing attacking my computer.
I respond with Alt F4.
<fx Marvin> Oh, not another one! </fx>
When I’m on my computer, I open everything in a new window. Just a quirk of mine.
When I’m on my kindle, I open everything in a new tab, because the screen is smaller.
So when I go to close a window on my kindle, I appreciate the reminder that I’m also closing 14 tabs and the question, do you really want to do that? Usually I don’t.
This is useful for people who lose track of whether they’re on their computer, tablet, or phone. I am one of those.
I can’t think of a tabbed interface that doesn’t have an option to warn/not warn when closing multiple tabs at once.
What does Alt F4 do?
My first job as a Unix programmer was creating “Are you sure y/n” loops around certain rather volatile instructions. Might just possibly have saved some grief.
I endorse this rant, and silently re-enact it at least once a day.
I lose track of whether I’m on my computer or in the real world. It gets embarrassing when I try to click on the little X when someone’s talking to me in person.
Since you said that, I can confess that sometimes when I’m writing something out by hand and I pause in the middle of the word, I half expect autotext to fill in the rest of the word for me. Yeah, on the paper. I’m not making this up.
When I’m filling in a crossword puzzle, I think, hey, I better save this or I’ll lose all my work. :smack:
Well, I don’t get a warning when I close Firefox (running on Linux), but when I start it up again all the tabs are back anyway so it doesn’t matter. I accidentally close the wrong tab occasionally both in Firefox on my desktop and in Safari on my iPad, but undoing that is easy enough.
