    I don’t remember the last time I saw a big ol’ loading bar, honestly. Maybe a small one in steam?

    SSDs have made it a rarity for me.

      Downloads. SSD doesn’t help much there.

        But then you get a download rate and watching the bar is pointless

          I’ve had ones that don’t show a rate, and it’s maddening. Usually something like downloading an MMO through a launcher.

        Brew and yum and apt do this in ascii.

        EDIT I don’t know about Pacman. I don’t use arch.

      You obviously don’t work in IT.

      I literally used this method while stuck in the Ticketmaster queue for Taylor Swift tickets.
