ClipX has plugins that give you way more features. As a web developer I used the color picker plugin to copy the hex code of the pixel beneath my mouse to the clipboard when a hotkey is pressed, although it could be configured in many other ways.
I've used ClipX since its inception in 2004, and was shocked to learn it was recently updated by the original author for a major 2.0 revision... 18 years later! The FAQ also states that he never sold it, so it remains 100% crapware free.
I used to joke that it took Microsoft until Win 11 to create their own clipboard manager, and even then it didn't hold a candle to the 18 year old ClipX 1.0
As someone who used to submit issues to Gitlab just to see them stagnate for 6-8 years and then ceremonially get closed after being stuck in management/release bump hell (along with many 'me toos' from both Gitlab premium support staff / 3rd party contributors) I agree with your statement 100%.
> CVEs are, for whatever reason, like the only thing on the planet that people seem to have a problem with when they receive a name. i am not sure why.
What, you guys talk about books based on their “title” instead of just memorising the ISBN of each book? Pssh, count me disappointed!
It's certainly marketing, but it's prosocial: there's no scarcity of names, and "copy.fail" is much easier to remember and talk about than "CVE-2026-31431".
Probably to some extent it is marketing, but generally it has to do with significant bug finds to get the message out to the people who need to apply patches and/or be informed. Heartbleed, Log4Shell, etc.
Very few CVE’s get names dedicated to them like this, because usually when they do - it is very serious, as in this case.
Giving catchy names for bad exploits has been a thing for a while. Probably to make sure it's easy to reference and make sure you're patches as opposed to passing numbers around. Heartbleed, Shellshock, BEAST, Goto Fail, etc
