Boeing 777F production reportedly halted for nearly two months by supplier dispute

Widebody freighter has delivered 21 aircraft this year and recently received FAA approval to remain in production through 2030

On mobile if I try to copy a paragraph or two to my web browser clipboard it literally won’t on this website.

I assume this is because of AI scraping or whatever but this has got to be the most insulting, condescending UI design I have encountered in a long time.

I distinctly remember people laughing at me about saying this would happen…

Ughhh.

Also yes I know there are probably a million ways to get around this but the point is this is just so fucking pointlessly stupid.

This is what it looks like on android.

I wanted to share your article with an interesting quote I picked to add a personal touch and thus encourage people to read the full article you assholes, but ok fine I will never go to this website again…

Oh wait but I can feed ALL of the text into Google’s AI slop machine just by swiping down because of course I can still do that, that makes sense.

    Dragging and copying is also working for me on Firefox for Android. E.g.:

    Three Boeing employees familiar with the situation told Reuters that 777F production had not resumed by October 23 despite Boeing and Florida-based supplier Vaero reaching a settlement in late September.

    […]

    Some additional 777Fs could still be handed over before the end of 2026 because their wings were assembled before the supplier dispute, according to employees cited by Reuters.

    Edit: And a courtesy link to the original Reuters article.

      Thank you for the courtesy link, I am sure there are ways to do it, but I shouldn’t have to.
