Image transcription: a tweet by @kaicomedy that says: noooo that's my emotional support 8,000 screenshots I haven't looked at since taking

I recommend going through them when you think of it. I occasionally go through mine when I remember, and every time I'm reminded why I saved every single one of them. They all make me laugh or smile in some way or another and can legitimately be a good pick-me-up when things are rough.

Yoink! Another meme-quote for my collection!

Fuck they caught me furiously shoving the 8k screenshots into my safe

macOS is the best OS for screenshots. I just right click the preview and save to clipboard, then paste wherever.

There’s a bunch of hidden screenshot options too.

The frickin Print key does that on Windows now

Just one screenshot key?

laughs while awkwardly spreading hand to press cmd+alt+3/4/5+space to select a window

I use win-shift-s, I find it more convenient bc you can type it without your hand leaving your mouse (it also allows you to select an area and saves automatically now as well), both of your hands stay in the normal area

Tap volume down and power button at the same for screenshot. You can just end it there, or use one of the options at the bottom. The options include preview, scrolling screenshot, edit, share, highlight and copy text (computer vision stuff). And you can press the volume and power again to take a screenshot of the screenshot screen as I did above.

Forgot to mention: android.

Ha, you fool, now I know what time zone you live in, mountain. The android OCR without screenshotting is a clutch feature. I keep coming across blogs that disable right click assuming that makes it so AI can’t read it, but really they just make it impossible to quote the author. That feature is super handy for that, or copying text from a video.
