On new installs it does force you. I had to do it today (Windows 10). There are workaround such as attempting to log into a banned account, or other weird hacks involving disconnecting the internet and know the right combinations of hidden menus to navigate.

Pronounced as "shitter"

We do. There's announcements on the flight and there's signs everywhere.

The department spokeswoman pointed to biosecurity announcements on flights which told travellers what their declaration obligations were, as well as signage about it around arrivals areas in Australian airports.

The risk is that if these pigs cross with a hypothetical manbear then we would have an unstoppable being that's half man, half bear, half pig.

Let's hope he doesn't lose these customer's funds! If he thought he could talk his way out of justice on the outside, he'll be even more surprised about the justice system inside.

Does this title sound stupid to anyone else or just me? Like... the jobless rate is defined by unemployment.. so what else would be keeping it at 20%? It's not really saying anything at all.

Massive self-own on the part of the OpenAI board and possibly one of the biggest conceivable wins for Microsoft in a long time. Microsoft has it's hand in both pies (OpenAI and Sam&co) and also has significant developments on the chip side too. Is this the turning point we'll look back on when Microsoft dominates the AI space?

The bigger wtf is saying the article is only 47 words

Overzealous character escaping most likely. It's to prevent certain types of exploits when displaying user submitted content as users could post, for example, javascript code that would then run on the page. By "escaping" certain characters it prevents this. For example by changing & to & it will instruct the browser to change it from a literal ampersand to a display ampersand. The problem then comes when some container elements don't use these display ampersands and just display the literal code. I'm sorry I couldn't explain it better.

You can see exactly what I mean if you reply to this comment and type & then type it again but inside of a code block (inside of two backticks `)

While this is a real issue, the threat is best mitigated outside of the browser. In theory any application you run could put contents in your primary selection, the threat is what you do with that. The biggest threats I can imagine are insecure shell settings which the author pointed out and can be mitigated easily. Or as a commenter pointed out, cryptocurrency related activities could be at risk - such as pasting in an address to send the currency to could be hijacked and you probably wouldn't even notice as the addresses are random. X is known to be insecure and if you're doing something sensitive like handling cryptocurrency it would be best practice not to run X anyway.

Presumably you're relying on the security of your home, and if that's broken you've got bigger things to worry about.
