In what way has copy-past been well defined since 1984. What is it you're copying and what is it you're pasting. In 1984 it was easy, that was text. It's not 1984. It's 2025. What is your text? Does it have formatting? Does it contain unicode characters? How does the target app handle the discrepancy. Are you copying the words, the underlying character codes which make them, the look of them, in what format is that define?

Precisely none of this is well-defined, in any OS from any vendor, largely because in 1984 no one could envisage the kind of thing that is being copied or pasted.

And even then Copy-Paste is a tool with an end goal in mind. Increasingly that end goal is to get text into an AI system so it makes perfect sense to offer a shortcut in that process.

You do. "We" (meaning the normal general users of the world) don't. Install a special purpose tool for the job like Notepad++ for your strange edge case of needing to manually write just text to a file.

In all seriousness though your post gave me a chuckle. Reminded me of the suicide booths in Futurama.

Now back in reality, what they'll do is blank ban all AI other than CoPilot and force users to use CoPilot, since Microsoft provides AI tools that specific follow data classification systems in place in the corporate Windows world, and that includes those used by their cloud services ... services that very much approved for use in government, healthcare and financial organisations, and explicitly compliant with laws such as HIPPA.

Now repeat after me: What you as a pleb can get is not the same thing a corporation or government gets.

Sidenote: I wish this was different. I work at such a sensitive corporation and as such I have CoPilot shoved down my throat while literally every other service is banned. We're stuck using the worst one.

Recommended by? I'm not sure if you understand how industry works but nothing "recommended" is ever done.

Nuclear reactors don't have hydrogen reformers. I'm not sure what words you think you are using but the IAEA gives guidance of many ways to deal with hydrogen and the word "reforming" doesn't come into it. The most common way of dealing with hydrogen build-up is venting it via FCVS to atmosphere, that includes in the USA.

Fukushima had an FCVS, they tried to use it. It failed to function.
It was designed in the USA, by GE, who in their wisdom decided this safety system shared a power source with the systems that are designed to prevent the build-up of hydrogen.

By the way those awesome US plants? Well they went through a panic retrofit of their venting systems after the Fukushima incident exposed their shit design.

Yes because different companies in different industries in a different country under different laws and different government and different culture is entirely representative of the the Japanese nuclear industry...

Thank god someone is still sane.

Supporting someone else's desired feature is not a bug. If there's 15 year old bugs, quite possibly no one gives a shit about them. Have you considered contributing to the project?

I'm saying it shouldn't matter because while I buy 5 and they buy 5000, their budget is guaranteed to be more than 1000 times mine.

I have already been over this.

Ok so you order your laptops with one usb port, a power port and one HDMI port because that's all you need then? These components are such a small cost. At one time they would just be thrown in to make the device as practical for the customer as they could while keeping the cost reasonable. We are talking about $5 here.. even with my meager salary I don't care about $5. Maybe if these trillion dollar companies care about saving money more than I do then we really need to look at why these corporations don't care about the consumer any more and ask ourselves if this is the path we want to walk down.

It's making life harder for customers for pennies.

That statement is not "fine". That statement follows a logical structure that may be correct, but there's nothing "fine" about a department responsible for preventing the spread of disease promotes an ideology by explicitly making a change that fuels vaccine hesitancy among the public.

There's a lot more to statements, such as human interpretation than simply logic would ... wait ... have you been screened for autism?

Wakefield. Andrew Wakefield. And because he was English he was discredited, barred from his profession and had to *checks notes* flee to the USA where he can continue spreading his bullshit to people who would listen. Heck if he were American I'd expect he would have RFK Jr's job right now.

I wouldn't leave math to anyone anymore at this point https://science.slashdot.org/s...

And yet you constantly used the term "lying". I have a feeling you didn't understand the parent's comment at all if you don't understand why it was a direct rebuttal to your point.
