Microsoft causes learned helplessness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why is this a screenshot? Couldn’t you have just copied the text?
Ironic isn't it?
at least it's not a photo of a screen
just missing a scanline filter …
I used to be a TA and would reduce points for students that did this.
You’re supposed to take a photo of the screen, get the film developed, use a marker to draw a big read circle to highlight the important part, scan the photo, and post the digital image it here.
This is the way.
Yes
Yeah, you got me. I don't know how to copy-paste. I blame Microsoft.
Here's the text:
For those that don't know there's a few websites that can easily grab text from images for you. It can be a big time saver.
Optical Character Recognition has only been around for like fifty years. You can't expect people to just know about it. /s
The worse part is that it used to be a paid thing. But nowadays my cellphone has integrated OCR without much issue and there are dozens of webpages that offer the service in exchange for showing ads. It's nearly ubiquitous now.
I don't understand anything that isn't presented in pictures. Also I cannot read.
