Kinda new reader here - How do you decide what books to buy?
  • I tend to prefer libraries and piracy but if you want to support the authors you can start by buying new books of authors you already enjoyed when reading downloaded books. If the book turns out bad consider it as payment for the pirated books you did enioy, so it's not really a waste.

  • A cool guide to yellow stripey things
  • Having spent several summers living with dirt daubers, they don't build nests in the ground, they build them right above your bed. Which I'd be fine with (cause they really never bother anyone) if they didn't decide to do it at 6 AM SOUNDING LIKE AN ELECTRIC DRILL.

  • How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?
  • You can replicate that remotely. I've had days where 2-3 people joined a call to share something and then kept that call in the background for hours, chatting about random things while working.

  • People who refuse to learn how to drive a car, why?
  • I do have a license but refuse to drive. I guess the main reasons would be:

    • I get lost very easily and navigating while driving is much harder (no stopping, turning around etc)
    • You can't entirely zone out or use that time to do something else like reading so if it's a daily commute this is just lost time
    • Road infrastructure here is terrible. I actually find it much safer to drive at night because at least you can see the headlights of cars coming out of blind intersections
    • Just like there are (many) places you can't go without a car, there are also places you can't go with a car because there is no parking, mainly the city center, which is the place I visit the most

    You also can't drive drunk and I kinda like drinking.

  • Is anyone using VMware under a Wayland host?

    I've been using VMware Player (free version) for a while now and it's been working fine. Recently I switched to Wayland and VMware's grab input behavior broke. The guest gets most keys correctly but Alt and Super are intercepted by the host. Clicking on the vm also gives me a remote desktop popup on the host prompting to allow remote interaction which gives some weird results both on the host and guest. Apparently this is a known issue with gnome(?) and the only workaround is to add Super to any shortcut (eg. Super+Alt+Tab) but this obviously doesn't work for all shortcuts.

    I'm using Gnome on Fedora and Ubuntu and they seem to have the same behavior (but no remote desktop popup on Ubuntu). Both work fine on X11. I've also tested both VMware player 16 and 17.

    So if anyone is using VMware on Wayland, do you know of a combination that works? Does it work on KDE? Should I just switch to Virtualbox? I'd really rather keep Wayland if possible.

    Shot on my phone but it came out pretty good.
