Because at the same time plasma succeded kwin and dolphin konqueror, the kool naming scheme became optional. The snipping tool used to be Ksnapshot, which was at least obvious naming in what it did.

Man what does "snipping tool" even mean

[-] eldain@feddit.nl 2 points 7 months ago

I don't like this word either, selective screenshot or sth...

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 months ago

Screenshot. With features thats it imo

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 months ago

snip /snĭp/

intransitive verb

  1. To cut, clip, or separate (something) with short, quick strokes.

How the heck is that related to screenshot

It's usually combined with a rectangle/window selection, thus clipping a part of your screen into an image/clipboard.

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
