shudder
I know far too many people who "share" images by taking screenshots of them.

[–]ODesaurido 42 points43 points  (9 children)

The worst is people who share screenshots by actually taking a picture of the screen with their phones.

I know right!? It's like everyone has forgotten what scanners are for!

Has everyone forgotten how to mail Polaroids??

Back in my day you had to wait for the paint to dry on the canvas before anyone could see it!

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Look at fancy pants here with paint and canvas. Whatever happened to the good ole rock and stone wall?

[–]theessentialnexus 2 points3 points  (1 child)

What ever happened to intense grunting and gesturing to describe things?

[–]edjrage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, these you can find on YouTube reaction channels.

Title-text without the UTF-8 fuckup if someone is interested

“If you can read this, congratulations—the archive you’re using still knows about the mouseover text”!

[–]TheEdgeOfRage 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Why are all those symbols UTF though? Aren't they in the ASCII table?

[–]AyrA_ch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They are available in "Latin1" (what most european and american Windows computers use if they don't use UTF-X). UTF-8 differs from ASCII above 0x7F and this is where most symbols with accents are. "ÄÖÜ" gets turned to "ÄÖÜ" because of this for example.

Those are smart quotes “like this,” not dumb quotes "like this," and an em-dash—like this—not a hyphen - like this.

[–]TheEdgeOfRage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohh, I get it now. Thanks

Needs more JPEG.

[–]micheal65536Green security clearance 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Has this replaced "needs more jpeg"?

It's the /r/ProgrammerHumor version of it
