I guess one could create shortcuts to a tool like wl-copy and wl-paste to either copy or paste content to primary selection (or regular clipboard for that matter). So in that case a simple script could run the command and in your desktop environment you setup a shortcut to run the script.

Yes its hacky, but in Linux nothing is impossible. :-) (unless it is...)

Then I tell you something that might either blow your mind or be useful in future (or just being fun fact):

On Linux there is the regular copy/paste clipboard, which you already know how it works. But then there is this primary clipboard called primary selection too, that is independent from normal clipboard. Text will be copied to primary selection when you select a text (in example in Firefox). Just by selection the text with the mouse is enough and it will not affect the normal clipboard. Then you can middle click the text from primary clipboard.

The essence of the article:

The discussions, visible in Mozilla’s Phabricator revision D277804 and a linked GNOME gsettings-desktop-schemas merge request, focus on disabling the traditional primary selection paste by default.

Mozilla proposes changing the default behavior of the Firefox browser on Unix builds so that pressing the middle mouse button no longer pastes text by default.

The functionality will be there and can be enabled. The reasoning:

The author of the revision frames the current behavior as a source of confusion and accidental pastes, especially when users press the middle button without expecting the clipboard contents to be inserted into text fields.

Well, that's one thing with Flatpak. There is a permission system, as the applications are fully or partially sandboxed. You can install "Flatseal", that can change permission for each installed Flatpak application. But it can be confusing or hard to understand what you have to change in order to make it work. Or maybe the application itself is not packaged correctly as a Flatpak, I don't know.

Yeah most people are not here to discuss and are toxic, that's why I don't answer to most.

I am not saying the sexual orientation or gender is forced on my, but rather for games where it does not matter should not be a factor of deciding how the game is made. What I mean is in example Marvel Rivals, people want trans characters added to it. And that has implications for gameplay and such. In example there are very popular characters from Marvel universe that could be added and needed too, in specific gameplay features. But if the gender is a deciding factor, then it affects gameplay decisions of developers.

Or in games like Zelda, people want a character where you can set the gender. But this has huge implications for the story and also requires lot of work for no real benefit, other than your gender being different. Nobody should care in games about your personal gender, its not about you.

And on a personal experience in the forums, what's really bad is, if developers don't do it, then those people get toxic and attack everyone in the communities for not doing it. Also spamming at every post about this, even if its offtopic.

However I can understand asking for this in games where you roleplay you as a character, or even if there is a character creator. Especially in games like Cyberpunk it makes 100% sense to include these as options. So I am not talking about those kind of games.

But they have influence on the games I do play (and spam the forums too). They don't let us enjoy by forcing their gender (and sexual orientation) into games where it does not belong to. Mind you, I am not talking about roleplaying games where it makes sense, like Cyberpunk.

M-Disc format is probably the best form of archiving data long term. But the discs are not cheap and you need a "burner" for it too (and a reader everywhere you want to read it) Edit: Correction, these discs should be readable by normal DVD and BlueRay players, but not all. There are DVDs and BlueRay discs with this format. If price is not the biggest issue and if you don't want to archive often terabytes of data, this could be a solution to long term archival of important data.

A quick look in Amazon (Germany) the cheapest option has a 6 x BlueRay spindle with each 100gb for about 54 Euros (at a discount). Just to give an idea; usually this stuff is more expensive.

I don't know the exact definition of what vibe coding means, other than using Ai. This project exist since 2 years (if not longer) and I use it since a long time now (not regularly, just here and there). It's an amazing tool and by far the best of its type (terminal filemanager) in my opinion. You can look into the code and judge yourself if that is of bad Ai quality. I personally don't care how many emojis they use on their README or website. Using the program itself, I don't see any emojis.

Today I hacked my 2DS for the first time. This can be challenging to do, depending on how technical you are and how much experience you have in this field. The process is long and can be complicated, one has to be very careful and use commandline tools and so on. If you are unsure, ask a friend who knows this stuff to do this for you. Otherwise if you do something wrong, it could brick your system or you loose your data.
