and here I thought complaints about the ribbon were late 2000s, early 2010s stuff, incredible we still get these kinds of things in 2024

ISPs are rich too?

that's right: into their UI; with free software, you could use a different UI with no ads

when he said that software should be free as in freedom, because that would solve this problem

Stallman was right.

There is no inherent security problem with changing the content of the clipboard. That doesn't do anything until the user pastes it somewhere; of course if that "somewhere" is a command prompt, then that is a security problem, but users really ought to check what they're pasting there before they execute it (yeah, I know, "ought to").

It would be possible to do it the way you say, but that would mean that the user would need to allow that for many websites; I don't think copying from apps like Google Docs would work anymore, and "here's your access token, click here to copy it to the clipboard" features certainly wouldn't.

The screenshot in the OP would then probably be changed to include a step "click: allow clipboard access"; I think most people who fall for the screenshot in the OP would also fall for that.

One side's "wisdom of the crowd", "truth" and "knowledge and democracy" is the other's "conspiracy theories", "disinformation". 🙁

If the Australian government is going to regulate ex-Twitter, it's going to be writing a law that applies to all websites (or maybe: all websites above a certain size), including here on the fediverse; not just to ex-Twitter.
