Which international sports betting websites can be trusted, where they won't steal your money like cyber criminals? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doodle65 (talkcontribs) 07:00, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

None, though some will only take what money you give them. Ian.thomson (talk) 09:23, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That link is irrelevant. The question was about crime, not normal casino practice. --76.71.5.208 (talk) 03:19, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Super_L for Applictations menu[edit]

I have just done a new install of Linux Mint (19.3 with xfce), but I can't get Super_L to open the applications menu. I replaced whiskers with that because I prefer the simple list view.
In settings > keyboard > apllication shortcuts I see Super_L activates xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu. That should work, I think, but when I press it the first time the button (or rather text) becomes dark, but the menu doesn't open, and then when I press it a second time I get a popup at the mouse pointer with 10 items. At the bottom is 'Properties', which opens deskop properties. And indeed, Ctr-Esc, which activates xfdesktop --menu, opens that menu the first time.
With Super_L, after that, I get that menu every time, unless I use the mouse to open the applications menu and then close it again. Then Super_L first makes the button dark again and then opens the desktop menu.
Alt-F1 also activates xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu and has the same behaviour.
In the former installation of Mint I see that Super_L makes the Applications button lighter, not darker. And opens the menu. DirkvdM (talk) 11:42, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
