Microsoft bad and all, but is this really a good fit for the pics community?

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 28 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I mean... it is a picture... of a screen. I guess it counts?

Isn't a screenshot also a picture? It can literally be the same file extension too.

Why didn't OP just take a screenshot? Why go through the effort of taking a photo with their phone to then transfer it to a PC?

Lemmy is available on mobile yk

Good point. If this community wasn't for screenshots, it would be called "photographs". All images, even memes, should be allowed here.

can you even take a screenshot before the login screen?

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's not a screenshot. It's a photo of the screen.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, no shit. They were asking if the reason it's a photo of the screen might be that you can't take a screenshot of the login screen (which I have no idea the answer to)

Well you being a dick about it certainly helped clarify it. Thanks

Why didn’t OP just take a screenshot?

Screenshotting is unavailable while the screen is locked, so that wouldn't be possible.

I like the trees in the background.

My favorite part of random picture communities is that I get to experience little slices of particularly notable life experiences different people have. This still fulfills that for me.
