@h5e@tech.lgbt 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. ๐Ÿ˜…

    @shi@tech.lgbt From what I understand is that both formatted and unformatted copies are made at the same time, and maybe even other media (for instance you can copy an image from a website and then both the image data and the url are captured). I honestly think this is great and allows the most flexibility.

    @shi@tech.lgbt @h5e@tech.lgbt 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.
