@seabass @neil As someone who's been using Linux for over 20 years and uses middle-paste all the time, I say FUCK NO. (I also miss this feature when using a Mac for work.)

And a couple of other designers in the comments are calling it "uncontroversial" because... they're only taking to other designers in the chat and not asking any users, who would have to learn about this under-the-covers change and then create accounts in the GNOME Gitlab instance to object.

@gnome @GTK @mozilla

(The Tails Linux devs pulled a similar coup against the users last summer when intigeri said "Let's remove sshfs; nobody uses it," and then merged the request in only a week.)

Note to open source maintainers: Don't make your user base feel like Arthur Dent looking for the explanation for his house being bulldozed.

It's been a while since I used @torproject@mastodon.social's #Tails so jumping through the manual upgrade hoops. Not a big deal, but will take a while on my backwoods bandwidth.

@GossiTheDog That is one of the many reasons why I tell people 1k times to use rather #Tails ✅ 💡 I highly doubt that the current #Windows11 or the one before was private enough for important #Tor usage, #journalism and so on.

@sjvn That's funny. That's why there's fans. Without these fans, she'd be too hot, no one can handle her. However, I'd still prefer a #dragon #girlfriend. And I meant a real dragon. Not one of those #women #female #human things with #dragon #claws, #horns, or #tails.

There is a growing number of people who no longer feel safe in their own home or country. Whatever the reason, many people might not feel safe to browse certain topics online 🌐

If you're in this situation, the Tails live operating system from @torproject can help. Tails protects against censorship and surveillance, and it lets you use a computer without leaving any trace of your browsing history afterward.
