Well, even on fuckin' IRC, I can turn an image into a text link with
a Ctrl-V.  So, here I need Imgur.

You use a Linux system, but you can’t copy/paste text out of a

No. Text is searchable and indexable, and can also be quoted. We see
this all too often in online open-source support forums, particularly
from users who are too accustomed to Dimdows systems, posting
screenshots of text messages instead of copying and pasting the text.

Um, this is Usenet, not an "online support forum".  What I posted was
the correct, modern way to respond to your request.

Then don't click the link, idiot.  Not my problem, if you're another

this as a screenshot.  Get fucked.

  Wow, another person on the bandwagon. 

Are you getting a clue yet?
Stubbornness while being wrong is

We can't modernize Usenet.  Run
Windows 7, then, dummy, come on.  If you can't do what I did
efficiently, you don't have GIMP.

Posting a link to a silly image isn't modernizing Usenet.  What would be nice is counters to track views and upvotes/downvotes.  But that would mean a centralized way to manage unique user logins and some kind of IP or ID tracker to go along with the post headers.  Very much against the anonymous, decentralized structure of Usenet.
Did you really need to involve the Gimp bloatware in this operation?  I figured a modern Linux would have a quick screenshot app like Win11's nifty Snipping Tool.
MS is doomed by screenshots of 2 lines of code.
