this is not a defined thing in markdown, just the markdown renderers of some clients do it

meta: I hate how threadiverse.link works. the "just take me there" button does not work without scripts and cookies. it would be useful, but e.g. for me it's just in the way

is it right that both of these only work on LAN?

Don't most browsers support this?

but not all web servers. often it's disabled

I love it so much when ~~reddit~~ lemmy clients think they are smarter and they renumber points 5 to 1 as 5 to 9..

edit: oops, still sometimes writing reddit instead of lemmy after almost 2 years..

no, they only allow the app to capture its own screen content. to make a regular screenshot of the whole display, the app needs a permission that the user has to approve every single time, at least on most phones. that API is actually for continuous screen recording, but of course usable for this purpose too. this also means that after getting approved by the user, the app can keep its recording sessions to keep more screenshots, but that ends when the app gets killed by android. I think the system also shows a notification when an app is recording, but as anything that too could vary with phones.

socks? and where are the slippers? or do you keep your fridge in the living room?

ok, but even a slight rain destroys them, they can't be ships

nothing? do you see a question mark?

I prefer the robotic announcer with the fake uplifting, soulless tone.

I'm a little surprised nobody thinks of that

in my head it was the other robotic voice. I think it was used in both portal 1 and 2

Out of over 17,000 Android apps examined, more than 9,000 had potential permissions to take screenshots. And a number of apps were found to actively be doing so, taking screenshots and sending them to third-party sources.

this is a weird paragraph. no permission is needed for an app to take screenshots of itself. all apps can do that.

just an example: the Element matrix client has a bugreport feature that allows you to submit an automatically created screenshot of the previous menu.

it seems there are several ways to accomplish this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2661536/how-to-programmatically-take-a-screenshot-on-android
