James Bartlett :terminal:<a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@aral</a> I've never understood why the act of taking a screenshot generates a persistent notification by default in most screenshot apps. Like, I already know a screenshot was taken; I'm the one who took it! And if I need to do something with the screenshot I just took, I want to either click on an ephemeral toast notification that pops up immediately after, or set the screenshot app to save all screenshots to a folder, and then retrieve them from there if/when I need them. Persistent notifications for ephemeral actions should not exist.<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/UIUX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UIUX</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/UIUXDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UIUXDesign</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Screenshot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Screenshot</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Toast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Toast</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Persistent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Persistent</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Ephemeral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ephemeral</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Notification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Notification</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows</a>
