@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:

  1. Teach #TechLiteracy instead of consumerism.
  2. Mandate #confirmation & #notification - #PopUp|s for every use of #Clipboard (similar to #webcam use by websites)...
  3. Ban #JavaScript - seriously!
  4. Ban #Windows, because it's a #Govware, espechally since #Windows10 and even more so on #Windows11 that is *insecure in every configuration!
  5. Put #TechIlliterates before a system they can't feck up. I.e. @tails_live @tails / #Tails for that reason alone (can't run such commands if they neither got #root nor any #persistent #storage to target).
  6. Normalize the use of @torproject #TorBrowser!
  7. #Teach #tech #literacy instead of #consumerism!
  8. Ban #GAFAMs and their shitty products!
  9. Migrate every #TechIlliterate to #Linux and don't give them administrative privilegues.
  10. Teach tech literacy instead of consumerism!

If any of you are using Helix Editor and wondering why copying/pasting from the system clipboard (space+y) isn’t working as it should, make sure you have wl-clipboard installed if you’re running Wayland.

(You’re running Wayland if your Linux distribution is Fedora or Ubuntu or Suse, etc.)

If running Fedora Silverblue-esque distributions:

rpm-ostree install wl-clipboard

(This includes Universal Blue, it’s not available under brew, you have to layer it.)

I've lived with it for so long that I mostly just accept it, but WHY doesn't #Excel use the system #clipboard for cut-and-paste between cells like any sensible application would?

Why does it forget what you copied as soon as you do anything else?

It must have some kind of local variable that holds a nullable source from which to paste and then null it whenever anything else gets selected, but why? The system clipboard can handle tabular data representations because it sort of works elsewhere.

Some days ago i had an issue with the #ClipBoard copy function in my password manager app.
Turned out (as suspected) the crate i used did not cover #WayLand only Windows, MacOS and X11 Linux. Sadly it went silently "OK" with the situation and i cannot seem to cover it via Result types.
I now implemented a quick fix locally to use another crate in addition, since i could not find any which covers all cases.
How are you fellow #RustLang developers handle this?
