Anyone else here baffled by why people take pictures of text instead of just copying it? The latter is inherently more useful ...
copying some text is more annoying to format. Sometimes i copy paste wiki text, but the formatting is a little fucky, and the notes are a little fucky wucky.
Also phones are a terrible UI, so people don't use them properly.
I haven't used writer or anything like that in so long that I forgot about that. I think most apps allow you to press Ctrl+Shift+V to paste without formatting. Images sound worse though.
I like copying from terminal to terminal…
yeah on PC it's generally a lot better, you could also just dump the output to a text file and call it a day. That's a personal favorite of mine.
