I set one up recently and it also asked for a phone number. Maybe there is a way to bypass that step but I couldn't find it

These are not 20 year old phones. There's a reason these transitions are made gradually.

Except they weren't non-compliant before and this is punishing the users, not the manufacturers. I don't even know what tech my phone uses for emergency services.

So to let people know that they won't have emergency service during an emergency, they prevent them from having ANY service now (24-hour notice). Even if telecom companies behaved perfectly (which they wouldn't) the initial idea was already a problem.

True, it's just an example to always look at the output. I've definitely used that in Fedora to reinstall packages when something stopped working after an upgrade.

(Maybe this doesn't happen by itself in Debian but I wouldn't trust Ubuntu for example)

Apparently apt has a stroke sometimes. I don't think I've had an update fuck up this bad but it's better to read the output so you know what changed in case something stops working.

I'd like to one day have the confidence to do upgrade -y

A speaker too. So you can mess with your pets while away or spy on your spouse. What an amazing product idea /s

Technically alt + shift changes between languages and ctrl + shift changes between layouts within the current language. Win + spacebar circles through all of them. So if you want to change from qwerty to dvorak I don't think alt + shift will work, at least in windows 10.

Not exactly mine but I've used it. I have a fast but data-limited internet connection and a slower unlimited connection. When I need the faster connection to do something I connect to it through wifi while staying connected to the other through Ethernet. Then use this project to bind a specific app to wifi while everything else keeps using Ethernet. It uses LD_PRELOAD to link its own version of network connect that calls the real method. There's definitely a better way to do this with iptables but it's a good enough patch for when needed.

I'm currently using thunder so haven't tried the new version but eternity isn't dead, it got a big update recently https://feddit.uk/post/15818616

 

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.
