Disable middle click pasting in Linux without breaking middle click functionality (X11/Wayland)

Context

• Both X11 and Wayland have clipboard and primary clipboards. The clipboard clipboard stores the text you copy. The primary clipboard stores the text you select (not copy!) using the mouse.
• When you paste using your keyboard, it pastes the text stored in the clipboard clipboard, but when you paste using middle click, it pastes from the primary clipboard.
• The idea is to clear the primary clipboard, when you middle click so that nothing gets pasted, and we only clear the primary clipboard so the text you copied previously will remain as-is.

Clearing the "primary" clipboard on middle click

• Install a key binding daemon that is capable of listening to mouse button clicks (middle click in our case) and executing shell commands. I personally recommend evsieve.
• If you are using X11, make sure xsel is installed. If you are using Waylan
