Call me autistic, but does this need to be an image? It uses like 10 000 bytes to say what 100 bytes would say in text. :P
Ooooh now this is interesting. My first reaction was "hah, yeah exactly!". But then I thought: this image of text contains more information than just the textual content. For example:
Also, it may be due to the prevalence of smartphone use in interacting with Lemmy vs using a traditional computer: it's often quicker and easier to take and share a screenshot of text than it is to select, copy and paste that text.
I'm not saying you're wrong. I just read your comment at the time my morning coffee really hit, and it spawned an interesting chain of thoughts.
So... thank you. And sorry for inflicting this braindump.
From XYZ site:
Done.
But what font did you want me to read it in?
Wingdings.
