Secondary: Why the hell can't I copy and paste the text on the page? `user-select~:~ none;` is user hostile.

At a glance

The community member who created the post is frustrated that they cannot copy and paste text on the page due to the user-select: none; CSS property, which they consider to be "user hostile". In the comments, another community member, Randy, acknowledges that they override copy and paste commands to deliver a certain experience, but suggests they could open up some use cases for it, such as allowing users to copy and paste the error message.

Hey Randy where would you be keen to copy and paste text? We override a lot of copy and paste commands from the default to deliver the experience but could definitely open up some use cases

For example, copying and pasting this error message.
