Copy on select and middle mouse button paste doesn’t work in text fields created by js code in Firefox. I remember finding a stale bug report for it, but can’t find it.

There are a lot of websites that use javascript to create text fields, some recent examples that I can remember right now:

• codewars.com
• claude.ai
• vscode.dev

Edit: found report: https://github.com/codemirror/codemirror5/issues/931
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1593761

There’s only two. One has broken primary selection, the other has anti-user policies against adblock plugins.

I can live without copy on highlight. But you could pry UBlock Origin from my cold, dead hands.

there’s nothing open about OpenAI

Never heard about it, but seems like it is, indeed. Thank you.

cool 👍

• I’m not paranoid, though. (It’s not paranoia if everyone agrees with you, most people just don’t care)
• I love FOSS culture and hate corporations with passion.
• For messaging I use Discord and Telegram
• Use old netbook from 2007 and my desktop PC is around the same age.

Where have you seen a human that sits like this? 🙃

Hey, why isn’t China more green? I’d think the CCP hates western spyware OSes.

Meanwhile Nim:

echo "I am still worthy"

let a = r"I hate the ugly '\' at the end of " &
         "multiline statements"

for x in 0..9:
  if x == 6: echo x

echo x # this is error in Nim, but not in python. Insane!

assert false + 1 # this is an error (python devs in shambles)
assert true - 1 # see above

Thanks for coming to my Ted-talk.

Ubuntu: 😮why?

For a lot of people Ubuntu is the linux. Canonical is just good at marketing. For all it worth, Ubuntu is not the bad choice for average user who’s not into ricing and not bothered by bloat.

Manjaro: haven’t you managed to kill it yet?

I’ve been using Arch and Manjaro for couple years each and in my experience they both break regularly. But, for some weird reason, Arch Linux is praised, when Manjaro is shamed upon.

Mint: ex windows guy?

Aren’t we all?

The most stable rolling distro.
