I highly recommend getting a clipboard manager! They keep a (usually configurable) history of your most recent clipboard items and allow switching the active selection between them.

Surely. First time I used clipboard management was long time ago somewhen in windows xp era. But growing older make me not really incentivized on trying myself to relearn clipboard history gestures. I might do that someday though. The difference is now I know git and text editor with hot-save support; with mostly textual clipboard, the texts usually just land in either git/editor.

So far the alternatives to capricious developer choices are: - Draw Chinese characters into a translator - Just have every website support every language ever - Install cliboard manager software to handle the fact you don’t always want to copy Gotta love HN.

  It's frustrating that sharing workarounds in good faith attracts drive-by snark like this comment.

    I don't want a good-faith workaround for a website hijacking my clipboard. I want the website and its developers to stop doing things that are stupid and wrong.

      I don't disagree! But as long as they continue to do stupid and wrong things, workarounds remain useful.
