One of the website UI modalities that I just *despise* are sites that block copy/paste (either via mouse clicks and sometimes also keyboard shortcuts) for filling important fields, out of some sort of misguided belief that this somehow enhances security. Actually it easily makes it worse in most cases. This is similar to sites that have crazy password rules (that they often can't even implement properly) that also tend to make security worse, not better. E.g., "Your password must contain between 10 and 22 characters, include no less than 3 characters between G and Q, at least two special characters, and a lowercase m and p. Thank you."

@pieist @lauren Muh man, you win the internet for the day. Carry on the good work into 2023.

@DNA @lauren Oh sure, have you any idea what it costs to feed the internet for a day? And don't get me started on its unwillingness to pick up after itself.
