    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…
