A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, I can agree with that, I'm just saying at the moment of shutdown isn't the time to do that and often the programs that are holding up my shutdown are doing it for reasons of their own, not because they're trying to help me by saving my work. Just do autosave and let me shut my stuff down.
