This is horrific to me. Reminds me of when I saw a reporter putting together something in Photoshop, then taking a screenshot to paste it into Adobe Premiere. I showed her how to send it properly for better quality, and really just as fast, but saw her doing it again just a few weeks later. She just grinned when I asked about it!
It feels like the digital version of the shopping cart theory, some people just don’t care
I do this for memes and shitposts, but anything important I definitely will export
In Linux we just touch our screenshots

This is why "manual sort" is so good.
I want all of files in alphabetical order except that one, please.
This is literally a screenshot of a screenshot of a screenshot
I think that's at least part of the joke
What does bringing it to the front mean in this context? If I've already located the photo I want, I can usually do what I need with it. The problem is finding it to start with.
I do this with my WiFi password. Since all the photos and screenshots are in recency order, instead of having to scroll all the way back to several months ago when I first took a picture of the WiFi password all the time, I take a screenshot of that photo and since the screenshot it recent it now shows up at the front and I don't have to scroll to find it.
I'm assuming it's an apple thing, where it's stupidly difficult to get the image/file you want into the application that you want to work with it
or at least that's my experience as a non-apple user trying to use my goddamn iPad
Nah, I do it on my (android) phone. Usual case is that I see something browsing on mobile that I want to research more of on my proper desktop. So I take a quick screenshot so that I remember when I get home. Then I dont remember. Then I screenshot the screenshot the next time I'm scrolling through my gallery so that I remember. Then I dont remember...
So the screenshot is a reminder because when you're scrolling through recent photos you might happen to see it? Isn't that kind of like setting an alarm clock that will only go off 50% of the time?
Fuck no! This is like infinitely worse than anything the nightmare users I know do.
