It's because the first time doesn't always work. I swear, sometimes it doesn't!

Ctrl + C literally doesn't work at times, it drives me crazy. It might be due to some shitty applications and websites overriding it or adding complexity (Like copying not only the text but additional information).

I'm often 100% sure I copied the text, change the window and an old clipboard entry gets pasted.

God I hate this so much. It's especially frustrating on mobile where it takes like thirty seconds to try to get the right part of the text copied and use the fucking magnified blue dots... Ugh.

Mobile is an entirely different beast. Like sometimes my keyboard doesn't show up. Or the text select refuses to work. And so on. It's a mess. Even on a Galaxy S22.

No clue how people can exist without a proper computer at home and still do stuff online.
