How to stop Wayland from broadcasting my selected text?
While fixing a problem with a Wayland app I noticed that the programm got a notification from a Wayland fd whenever I selected some text in any other window (not belonging to the app) and was able to read the contents of the selection.
As I'm not a fan of sharing data without explicit actions (so Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V), is there a way to disable this behaviour of Wayland?

Digitalokratie: Kann Europa die digitale Freiheit zurückgewinnen?
Was Europas digitaler Zukunft helfen könnte und wie die Befreiung aus den Fängen der Tech-Monopolisten gelingen kann, war Thema auf der KI-Woche in Stuttgart.
Persönlich fande ich das gute Aussagen der genannten Personen.
Die Macht der Digitalgroßkonzerne muss gebändigt werden, egal wie die um deren Wirtschaft heulen.

I know that this is an english community, but the topic fits and maybe here are some Germans who enjoy this humor.
Does anyone know a bank which offers Wero without app?
I really like the concept of Wero and would like to give it a try. What I don't like are forced apps. I'm mostly on my PC and also many financial apps don't like my phone as it is flashed with custom Android.
So has anyone experience with a bank which lets their customers use Wero in the browser?
Or as an alternative do you know apps of Wero supporting banks which can be run in Waydroid?

It is astonishing how nature invented electrical motors with gearshift way before humans did.

I have a .Net Core (ver 8.0) multiproject solution which uses a native library on linux (.so).
When I start the project with debugger on, the program exits with code 0 and without any messages when hitting the line which loads the library.
Without the debugger, it runs without issues.
So does somebody know how I can get debugging to work?
Why isn't U-Prove more widespread?
U-Prove seems to me to be pretty close to a perfect auth system. It is possible to disclose only specific attributes and every prove is unlinkable (given no unique attribute is disclosed). Also it supports generating an unique, identity-linked ID per domain.
So I wonder why this technology is not used anywhere I know of?

Lets say I'm in a city and want to buy a specific item or a specific category of items.
It would be nice if there is a website which lists all the items (or at least their more granular categories) of all the local shops in my area.
To be clear, I don't mean an onlineshop; I still want to go there physically. Just something like of a catalogue for all shops in a specific area.
Where to get used tape drives?
I'm entertaining the thought to write my backups onto tape storage. So my questiont to this community is: does someone know where (if any) to get cheap and simple (my requirements are "just writes & reads the data and is usable with a Linux machine") used tape drives?
Thanks for any hints.
