Thank you for the states. Haaretz seems to the source most foreign media quote.

I'm a little chubby and drink more beers than i should. I'm 40. I'm in a stable relationship, so not on the dating market.

Also, I have similar thoughts about my professional ambitions. I'll neither become CEO nor professor, so why bother. Could I make more? Probably. A more fancy title? Sure. But why I care?

What? Isn't Haaretz like the main media outlet in Israel?

So, Russia will stop attacking Ukraine since it has "no right".

Yeah. That's me. Or anyone I know, really. Sure cities are back to pre-pandemic chaos, but those are other people.

I choose to work from the office on most days. I use public transit. I go to the gym. I'm not locked in, but ...

• after-work drinks
• meetups
• catch up with a friend at the pub
• date night
• clubs
• partys

That's a distant past. And i don't miss it, really.

Ok, I do miss socializing, the good parts: Crack some jokes, have some small-talk, feel part oof a group of friends.

But i don't miss it enough to endure that bad parts: Forcing oneselves into conversations with strangers, "networking", drinking a beer alone in a corner of some event, going out to bar where over your overpriced drink you'll accept that you'd rather be in your living room. Bars and night clubs are a weird concept (unless you are in your twenties and really enjoy the scene): You realistically only talk the person you came with, but they can't hear what your are saying since it's loud and crowded. There may be music, but unless you came to dance, you probably have a Spotify play list you'll enjoy more. In better quality.

Are you saying I could have brains and muscles?

Your problem is most likely escaping. $1 has a meaning in regex and in shell. You want the former and the single quotes achieve this.

In your second example, with alias, probably the shell interpreting this replaces $1 with whatever the first arg in the shell environment is, probably the empty string.

Not sure what the problem with the shell script is. Anyway try escaping the $ as and \ as .

You can see where you are wrong if you replace prename with echo for debugging. Or in a shell script do

set -ex

Thunderbird android is k9 mail

Didn't they just cut the funding?

Addy.io, proton simplelogin, ... give you one time email addresses

What marketing genius uses a mouse upside down.

there's a chance they'd survive.

They'll probably shoot themselves in the back five times while falling from the ground floor window.

Good to know

What? I need syncthing-android, where is it going?

Yes, i though this, too, but usually companies address this by issueing vouchers that can be only be used for certain businesses or products. This makes sure, the expense shows up as food on the invoice. Nobody cares if employees find a loophole to buy non-food. The company issued food vouchers. That will do.

Valid question. You can ask this about many things:

Would the Internet as we know it exist if Facebook, AOL, and Yahoo had united to create a walled garden?

Would Macbooks as we know them today exist without an open source ecosystem? Would the company Appke exist? Would there be an iPhone?

Would the web exist without Linux? Both developed at the same time, 1991 till now, and most stuff runs on Linux servers.

Would the people who build all the hardware and software even be interested in computers had they not played with (build) computers in the 90ies? What if we had given them an iPad aith CandyCrush that just works; and not BIOS codes, cables, extension cards and drivers?

And shit-ass is what you have to deal with when babies become teenagers?

And poop butt is good? This poop-butt device mows the lawn in seconds. ???

Like Netanyahu's politics?
