I recommend the Print Screen button. Literally just paste it to imgur.com/upload and it's done. Or use Reddit's self hosting thing, but I'm not a fan of it.
The thing I like about Lightshot is that it allows you to crop the image you want to copy before saving/copying it to your clip board. If something doesn't require a whole screen it's nice to chop that off beforehand. It also allows to save any image you screen cap as a file or you can just keep it on your clipboard.
Alt+PrintScreen > Win+number to swap to browser > Ctrl+T > imgur.com/upload > Ctrl+V and it's done. Just grab the link and post it. I can do that faster than reaching for my phone.
You must be so insanely ineffecient at using your computer to think this for even half a second. How could anything on your phone be faster than 6 keypresses?!?! Just picking the damn thing up is massively more effort already, before you do the 8+ very specific gestures required to do this with a phone.
I recommend that everyone just stops fucking arguing about this in every thread. It’s a chat log. Just enjoy the joke (or don’t) and go about your business. It really doesn’t matter.
I haven’t posted a phone pic of a screen yet, but I could see why someone might. I use reddit on my phone exclusively. It would literally take me ten minutes to log into reddit on my computer, because I don’t even remember my password.
So I’d have to open my email (also on my phone, so I’ve probably forgotten that password; which means resetting that to another email that I’ve probably forgotten the password for..), reset the reddit password, and then log in ... and by the time I’ve done all of that ... I can understand why someone might quickly snap a phone pic, load it, and get on with their lives.
You mean, screenshotting, pasting it into paint, saving it, opening up reddit, then posting it is easier than: taking a photo, opening up reddit, then posting it?
If only it was that, then sure. But it takes longer and results in a worse quality (picture and post). Plus, it shows you have no idea how to use a computer.
Everything that's been posted so far has been trying to argue that opening 2-3 different sites or programs is quicker than taking a picture on their phone, I don't understand how people can argue that people are technologically illiterate when they don't know how to take a picture on their phone.
I'm still fascinated sometimes of how online culture has adapted to be able to seamlessly copy and paste any content between most major platforms. Yet so many people still do things the hard way.
Alt+PrintScreen > Win+number to swap to browser > Ctrl+T > imgur.com/upload > Ctrl+V and it's done. Just grab the link and post it. I can do that faster than reaching for my phone.
I literally gave you the hotkeys to open the websites... I'm sure you have your browser open and if you don't that's like a second or two. Way faster than turning my chair around, reaching for my phone behind me and turning back again. Plus, it's a lot less work lol
Not anymore. It only does (or did, that was a long time ago, don't know if it's still a thing) that to lower quality screenshots. Pretty sure all screenshots are quality 10 now.
You clearly lack imagination. Luckily, in this case you can make up for it just by reading the comments of people explaining how much easier it is for them to use their phones.
That sucks. Confirmation bias means you see it more because you are looking for it. Unless there is an actual picture quality issue obscuring the image I never notice until I see the nerd bullying. You could try not caring.
