That's what makes it risqué
or do, it's still not a joke, and you might get your ass blasted over it, but i suppose thats part of the fun.
Anyone else here baffled by why people take pictures of text instead of just copying it? The latter is inherently more useful ...
i mean images allow for syntax highlighting to carry over, so I prefer them if my relation with the code/log is going to be read-only

For memes; I screenshot on my phone. Takes less time and makes the print bigger for my old friends.
Anything actually important I will copy and paste.
I transcribe all memes.
This is funny. I exhaled slightly faster.
My wife does that and it drives me crazy. Especially when she sends me screenshots of a website instead of the url.
At least she doesn't print the website out. And then mail it to you.
"I went to Kinkos to print our MapQuest vacation directions"
"what"
It's 1995
I think the surge of JavaScript only websites that you can't deep link to has trained that out of general people
general people
Specific people too! Perhaps even colonel people!
No, I mean she'll send me screenshots of things on Amazon instead of a link.
copying some text is more annoying to format. Sometimes i copy paste wiki text, but the formatting is a little fucky, and the notes are a little fucky wucky.
Also phones are a terrible UI, so people don't use them properly.
I haven't used writer or anything like that in so long that I forgot about that. I think most apps allow you to press Ctrl+Shift+V to paste without formatting. Images sound worse though.
I like copying from terminal to terminal…
yeah on PC it's generally a lot better, you could also just dump the output to a text file and call it a day. That's a personal favorite of mine.
Proof of authenticity? If anyone sends you a block of text, the formatting could be compromised, there could be auto correct mistakes, they could have left out important feedback clues from the terminal output.
Proof of authenticity? I have gimp.
Also why does your auto correct edit things you paste?
If the important feedback from the terminal is out of view a screenshot still doesn't help. The entire output piped into the clipboard is far more useful.
Are you seriously suggesting photo manipulation is a risk factor for sending and receiving software crash reports?
Manually typing or copy/pasting is vulnerable to typos, auto correct, formatting issues
If the important information is out of view of the screenshot, that's a skill issue that exists above the method of communication.
I don't think there's a reason for anyone to fake crash reports. But an image still doesn't prove anything.
How is ctrl+shift+c, ctrl+shift+v vulnerable to those? (Or do you mean typing it by hand? That sounds really inefficient).
Almost all crash reports are multiple pages long, I wouldn't call missing relevant information a skill issue.
I'm starting to wonder if we use vastly different setups…
Even more baffling is when they take a screenshot of text and then put it in a Word document
"Middle manager named Rhonda" vibes
Then print it and then scan it to their email so they can forward it to you.
Because it's the point of this community?
I think the GP is talking about the logs.
Oh yes indeed, sorry, well, when you kernel panic or are inside a VM, copying is not always an option!
Just put the paper from the teletypewriter into the photocopier.
I understand what it means in context here, but what does GP stand for? Figure it's not a typo of OP.
The comment that is parent to the parent comment.
What does the G stand for tho? Edit: oh grandparent?
This is the first time I've ever encountered "GP". Most people I've seen just use "OP", and people just understand which comment the person is referring to based on context.
You might not be logged in to the program you want to share the text with on that device. If you mean screenshots I don't know either.
A photograph, if you're severely airgapped, is better than nothing, but chiefly I'm whining about screenshots.
is complaining about this while totally OK with the exact same thing occurring with the post
"but it's not the same because [...]" aaaand you have the answer to your question
Who said I was okay with it? Screenshots of text instead of the actual text accompanied by a link to the original tweet etc. is a stupid trend and I don't know why people prefer it.
For the record, though, it isn't the same because tweets are limited to a few hundred characters, and the font size is usually pretty big, so they're usually easy to read through a screenshot. Crash logs are -- how shall I put this -- not, especially when they're often photos of computer screens because crashed software, especially on servers, rarely lends itself well to taking actual screenshots.
