Some stuff is text. Some stuff is grpahic\/bitmap\/binary\/not-seaxchable. Why????<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i think I have written on this before. on blog? in s.o.c.?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote this in order to have a link in this post<\/a> where I talk about this problem trying to record my thoughts on this text\/graphics dichotomy on a really good BoingBoing BBS post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for those that shrug about this, consider trytng to explain to someone why they can’t coopy\/select\/paste from the Windows 11 (or any) Task Manager:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

or whay can’t I swipe across the text names of the SSIDs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

‘course, the reason given is well, that’s a grpaohc image of the text, not “actual” text. therefore, one must capture it as agraphic image (link to <\/a>G<\/a>reenshot<\/a>, the bext damn screen snipper evar!), which then must be saved as a file or pasted into a app that can accept them (probs not likely in to an email, but seems like most chat apps are frieldy as grahic drop targets0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

again, try to explain the differences between “text rendered in an image’ vs “actual” text. to your mother. or grandmother. or a completely computer illiterate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
