Don't do that, NDA is no joke.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 2 months ago

That's what makes it risqué

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

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 ...

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

This is funny. I exhaled slightly faster.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

My wife does that and it drives me crazy. Especially when she sends me screenshots of a website instead of the url.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At least she doesn't print the website out. And then mail it to you.

I think the surge of JavaScript only websites that you can't deep link to has trained that out of general people

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

general people

Specific people too! Perhaps even colonel people!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

No, I mean she'll send me screenshots of things on Amazon instead of a link.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

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…

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Even more baffling is when they take a screenshot of text and then put it in a Word document

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

"Middle manager named Rhonda" vibes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Then print it and then scan it to their email so they can forward it to you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because it's the point of this community?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think the GP is talking about the logs.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh yes indeed, sorry, well, when you kernel panic or are inside a VM, copying is not always an option!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Just put the paper from the teletypewriter into the photocopier.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I understand what it means in context here, but what does GP stand for? Figure it's not a typo of OP.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The comment that is parent to the parent comment.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

What does the G stand for tho? Edit: oh grandparent?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

A photograph, if you're severely airgapped, is better than nothing, but chiefly I'm whining about screenshots.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

  • claims to be a network server admin

  • terrible grammar

This seems to check out

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

There's a disgusting lack of uwu's

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Shouldn’t it say “the ones you send at 3am” not “you get sent”?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

People don't send out server crash incident logs, they receive them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That’s after the line. I’m saying it’s a forced tee up for the punchline.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

If that person is usually on the receiving end of that kind of picture it makes sense.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Works either way. Get sent implies the kind of pics a person as a recipient gets sent at 3am and sends is the other way around

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

So... uh... pictures of Spider-Man?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

When it works, it's golden.
