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

Didn’t they just cut the funding?

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

there’s a chance they’d survive.

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

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?

“Is this the work of an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group posing as military builders? Or is it the work of some alternatively gifted characters, portraying the frantic activity of constructing defensive structures in a strategic direction”

Poetry.

And that is with shit rail infrastructure. Guess what would happen if we’d actually invest in rails?

Dell, the company known for their onsite sales.

Sure, if they had a website or something, they could work remotely, but someone needs to be present when customers flock in.

Will do next time.

Added the main link. May be paywalled for most people.

Yes, but they are all up-side down.

Every time, I’m ready to jump the Ubuntu ship and go back to Debian or Mint, they announce something interesting; something I’d at least want to try.

Yes, price is the point. Of course, a Mercedes is going to nicer than a Toyota, but is it worth its price tag?

Standard SMS/MMS are the de facto standard in the US

SMS have been used extensively around the world. That’s texting in it’s original form. And we still use SMS to bootstrap WhatsApp or Signal.

But MMS? Phones and carriers have supported this long before smartphones, but did people really use it? Are MMS free in the US? Because in Europe, before WhatsApp and Signal took over, the was a price tag on SMS (last non-zero price I remember is 0.09€, now free) and MMS (no idea because no one uses it, but I believe 0.39€ was typical at some point).
