gollark: I decided to try OCR software on memes and it works poorly.
gollark: Huh, apparently my school *already* has timetables and teacher/class assignments for next school year. That might be overoptimistic of them but who knows.
gollark: It seems like one of those things which can't possibly *entirely* work, since you can't just give someone some data (an image) and then prevent them doing stuff you don't like with it, but can work a bit and at least frustrate people without specific domain knowledge.
gollark: Hmm, if you use it in a browser somehow it might not even be able to detect being screenshotted since those have better sandboxing.
gollark: Anyway, the whole "blocking screenshots" thing (or at least notifying people when they get their stuff screenshotted) seems doomed to failure like DRM. Why do Android and iOS even *tell* the app it's being screenshotted? That seems bound to be abused.
