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.
