I can select it and I can hit copy. And when I hit paste, I expect it to to print those lines. But sometimes it just absolutely doesn't. It prints a scrambled mess of the lines all all connected to one big long line or interleave with each other or whatever. But TechSniper did it because TechSniper doesn't care about that stuff.

TechSniper just sees pixels that look like text and it parses them as lines of text and it will print them as lines of text. But of course, when I launched TechSniper, it said, hey, TechSniper wants to capture your screen. Do you want to allow it? Allow for one month, blah, blah, blah.

And then the security, again, if the security benefits are non-existent, if anybody who's trying to do something nefarious just Googles for it and gets a thing they can paste into terminal and solve the problem for them. Like it's just, it's very frustrating.
