Sharing is ethical only through corporate approved channels!
What is the point of making up a scenario in your head to get mad at?
To satisfy your overthinking urges.
That’s like picking fights with strangers to manage your anger.
That’s exactly what some jerks do.
I see the irony is lost on you.
Well, that’s happens sometimes with everyone. Don’t see a problem with it. 🙃
Same reason I sometimes imagine the stupidest possible comments on my comments and how I would react
Screen capture and OCR. It’s not a perfect solution, but vendors send me locked PDF docs often enough that I have to get datum from that I’ve done it a few times.
That will come after they suddenly announce they’re making Chromium closed source only, with the help of genAI.
At most they could maybe remove it for Chrome users. But unless Google is going to start editing 3rd party websites, I don’t see how they could remove copy/paste entirely.
More to the point, why would they?
More to the point, why would they?
Why wouldn’t they want more direct control over how content is shared online? They control essentially the only web browser and the internet is more centralized under a few corporations than it ever has been…
Well because it would be akin to taking away the ability to right click from an operating system. It’s been basic functionality for many years and would enrage hundreds of millions of users and drive them to another browser over night.
Never? Don’t be stupid
Don’t be naive
For a start, the W3C would never agree to it
For a second, the internet is international, they could probably get away with it in the USA, but EU would shut them down QUICK
There are extensions to enable copy/paste when a website has disabled them. I’ve been using Don’t Fuck With Paste (Github) for a long time and it mostly works but it hasn’t been updated in years. There are other options in the Chrome store.
Don’t think it can. The copy paste function is a function of the operating system not the application.
Clipboard is provided by the OS, but application chooses how to integrate with it.
When you select text and hit ctrl-c or click copy in the context menu, it’s all done by the application. And it may choose to remove/disable this feature.
Applications (and websites) can definitely allow / deny copy/paste into specific text fields; I’m not sure if they could disable it for the entire browser as a whole but I can’t imagine they’d ever do so even if it’s possible.
