Wtf is going on with that white border?
Someone took a screenshot, pasted it into MS Paint, and then forgot to crop it.
Source: personal experience lol
Why not just right click/long press > save image?
Normally I'm pasting it in to Slack or similar, not posting it on Lemmy, so in my experience I don't care or want it to get saved to my computer.
Control shift S, choose crop area and then you can just control v to paste it in whatever chat.
Alright then, right click > copy image. Depending on your OS, taking a screenshot usually also saves it to your storage.
why would you ever want to do that
Sometimes people add stupid stuff to a meme and I just want an easy way to crop it.
MS Paint for me is just an easy crop tool that I can add text to if I want. I understand it's a garbage tool but it hasn't changed in 20 years so I don't need to learn anything new lol.
Use lightshot. It's free and good.
Enhance!
Calm down. I don’t think that’s the topic.
My parents were killed by a poorly-cropped screenshot and I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!
