Don’t do that, NDA is no joke.
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.
My wife does that and it drives me crazy. Especially when she sends me screenshots of a website instead of the url.
I think the surge of JavaScript only websites that you can’t deep link to has trained that out of general people
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…
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.
Even more baffling is when they take a screenshot of text and then put it in a Word document
Oh yes indeed, sorry, well, when you kernel panic or are inside a VM, copying is not always an option!
I understand what it means in context here, but what does GP stand for? Figure it’s not a typo of OP.
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.
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.
