@nixCraft still do, but with `while :; do ls -l ...`

@nixCraft This is still approximately 73% of my career in IT.

@nixCraft 🙋‍♂️

@nixCraft guilty.

@nixCraft what kind of barbarian uses his/her/their finger? Use the mouse pointer! =D

And yes, I still do when installing things in Proxmox over VSAT connections =D

@nixCraft

Used to? Still do sometimes.

@nixCraft yip

@nixCraft in my childhood there were no progress bars... only the cool sound of the program on tape

@nixCraft I still do this but not with my finger, I use one corner of the file manager window

@nixCraft :))

@nixCraft https://xkcd.com/612/

@nixCraft Yes, except with the mouse pointer

@nixCraft I always made a line with a permanent marker on the screen. Like the crosshair in Ego Shooters 🙂

@nixCraft Strange display.
It rather looked like that back then…

@nixCraft ah I still do

@nixCraft I used to recommend to others to tilt the monitor so the "liquid" could flow faster. They didn't so they had to wait the full time :P

@nixCraft still doing this with my cursor... 😬

@nixCraft

Some really good memes passing my timeline from your end. I would boost them if they had image alt-texts for #a11y reasons, and I'm sure more other people would too. They are easily added by clicking 'Edit' after uploading the image. Keep those memes coming 🤗

For those who are fans of progress bars there's http://progressquest.com/

@nixCraft 🖐️

@nixCraft yep, when it was especially slow, I would open another window like notepad or so and line the border up with the progress bar.

@nixCraft I sort of did that. I think I used something on the screen (such as another window) check the bar.

@nixCraft just leave mouse cursor on last pixel.

@nixCraft still do (more for loading screens these days though)
