Program goes to Operating System, tears in eyes, says "my state, it is very bad"
Operating System says "is no problem, have good error reporting facility, detailed but concise report, contextual information included. you will submit bug there"
Program sobs loudly "but Operating System, I *am* error reporting facility"
Edit: uh-oh, computer people are seeing these silly little posts, so disclaimer:
please take the following set of posts light-heartedly. I like Apport quite a lot as a whole, it's just that the reporting dialog is… not entirely reliable. I do not hold this against the maintainers, I imagine a lot of users of Ubuntu don't really use this feature that much

It feels like I'm asking myself "do I even want to know?" a little more often recently
the crash reports in Ubuntu are *great* but hooooo boy if you wanna look at it from *this* dialogue on a consistent basis, idk, good luck
this is not the first time the error reporter has hung when I click "show details" and it… just can't load the details or something???
is it a timeout? DO I EVEN WANT TO KNOW
@glyph I am holding you personally responsible (appreciative) for inspiring this systemic curiosity in me
