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.

You're literally opposing the existence of an independent judiciary, which is a fairly important thing for a liberal democracy.

Because you choose to keep going to restaurants where they play loud music. No idea why you're doing that

We had these kinds of debates when I myself was a minor (in the late 2000s). I would have thought it would be over by now and people would have realized that allowing teenagers to watch porn isn't actually very harmful to them at all. Seems not, humanity doesn't get smarter over time.

As a European I have always been confused when Americans talk about "voter registration". The way it works in my country is you are legally required to register your residence with the government and that registration is automatically used to determine a voter registry (just filtering by age, citizenship and exclusion due to criminal convictions all of which is information already known to the government). I always just get a letter a few weeks before elections informing me where my polling place is.

Everything about lemmy is. It is literally a reddit clone.

2004: The Internet is going to lead us into a utopian future of free communication where we exchange ideas with each other without corporate media being gatekeepers telling us what to read, write and think!

2024: Hi, I'm Meta and everyone gets their information from my platforms and I can decide what ideas to allow there. What do you mean we weren't supposed to have that anymore by now, whoever told you that kind of nonsense.

You know it used to be that when I heard the name "Donald" I thought of a Disney character. Does anyone even remember that guy?

Wikipedia says at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#End_of_life that the EOL was announced in 2017 and took effect in 2020, much less than 10 years ago.

Optimist: The glass is half full.

Pessimist: The glass is half empty.

Realist: The glass is twice as big as necessary.

Excel: The glass is the 2nd of January.

Seriously, speaking as a man, I have no idea why on Earth some of us men are willing to pay for things like the stuff described in the article?!

I remember thinking the same thing a few years ago about Belle Delphine and her "gamer girl bath water". I get it, I get horny too and have no idea how to approach women, but seriously, there is so much porn of all kinds out there entirely for free.

No one (!) alive today experienced a year divisible by 4 that was not a leap year. The oldest living person was born in 1907.
