@h5e whenever people say this, all I can think of is:
"COPY without formatting" should be the default, paste should paste whatever is on the clipboard.
😅
Cassandrich@shi @h5e Both are needed. Programs that copy should not put formatting there by default in case a badly behaved program uses it, and programs that paste should not paste formatting by default in case a badly behaved program put it there.
This is not just a nice UX matter but a privacy/security one. C&P of formatting is an info leak side channel that exposes sources, process, etc.
Stags@stags @shi @h5e I think recipes to avoid formatting getting preserved on clipboard are useful, but the benefit is limited to people who are already aware it's an issue and that there's a solution.
This really needs to be fixed universally: default of non-formatted copy and non-formatted paste everywhere, with formatting only if you explicitly ask for it at both copy time and paste time.
@dalias @shi @h5e the thing is that with the way current things work,each application implements its own copy and paste methods. Some even give you the opportunity to set the default behavior.
The only way for us, as a community, to change default behavior is by telling the devs directly via contact forms and telling them indirectly by preferring and using apps that behave like we want them to. This is true for copy/paste behavior, data stealing for AI, forcings ads, etc
