I find myself just taking photos of documents for submitting forms, rather than scanning. Scanning still feels more 'official' (a PDF instead of a JPG) but the sheer convenience of using a phone wins every time. I've rarely seen organisations complain about photos.

Compiler error messages is such a deep topic. Even in rustc, a mature compiler that invests effort in diagnostic quality, I find interesting issues every few months. (The majority have been fixed pretty quickly, so it's really rewarding to file issues.)

I periodically see "diffstatic" as a typo of difftastic. I quite like it: makes me think of 'ecstatic' rather than 'fantastic'. I've eventually configured typos CLI to prevent this spelling on the difftastic repo, but it makes me smile every time.
