Screenshots are awesome to convey a lot of things but as for "wording" it is an acquired skill to describe a tech problem or situation and a large part of that is to know what details are likely to be relevant and then present them and only them in a way that communicates the situation or what has happened. Taking a huge photo of the whole screen is maybe fast and fun but it does a worse job at narrowing down the problem, as there is so much unrelated material, even in a virtual console or terminal emulator mode. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
