Android Takes Something Else Away

Ah security. We have to use clear purses for our own safety. We can't carry backpacks, bags, etc in some places, for our own safety. We have to endure body scans, metal detectors, pat downs, for our own protection.

And now, thanks to changes in Android 10, we have to give up clipboard managers - a tool I use ALL the time EVERY single day. A clipboard manager is one of the first apps I tracked down and installed. Now, instead of allowing users to grant clipboard access like other permissions, Android has simply rendered all clipboard managers useless.

It appears that using developer tools, permissions can be granted via console on a computer (I do not yet know if this requires rooting). But I don't yet have a USB-C to USB conversion cable, so I'm stuck for now.

The feature removal trend continues. Ugh.
