Honestly, i don’t know, but setting up some website that’s vaguely similar to reddit, is not that hard. (Building a community and maintaining tech and community is harder.) Thus, there are probably tons of reddit-like places, some bigger, some smaller.

Before reddit and facebook, there were forums (like bb boards). Some have survived (in niches). Some communities have huge Facebook groups, used with fake accounts for shitposting. Some people use twitter/bluesky/mastodon as a reddit substite.

I guess that Instagram and TikTok have most of the market in many countries. People won’t tell you how much time they spend on tiktok, but they still do.

15€. I was shocked when it went above 10.

Israel or Meta or both?

What’s the reputation of the linked site? Are there other sources?

Sure, this sounds plausible, but you want credible sources and mainstream media attention.

Zuck seems to care what Trump wants.

Which NAS supports Syncthing?

I guess no hoster is safe, but maybe have a backup in a different jurisdiction.

I use Ubuntu every day. I’m part of the Linux community. And i believe that Ubuntu helped to make the Linux desktop easy and available and sort-of cool.

There’s no hate, but i could live without snap, unity and oversimplification. Actually that’s my biggest issue. Give me settings, give me choice. Hibernate works fine on my machine, don’t hide it.

Apt/deb is a fine package manager, flatpak and docker can supplement it when you want something not packaged as deb. The way Ubuntu updates browser over snap is a small improvement, but it’s not worth deviating from the rest of the Linux world.

I don’t hate Ubuntu. I think they are wasting their time on stuff no one needs. Missing the chance to improve Linux for everyone.

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?

What marketing genius uses a mouse upside down.

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?

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.

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. And depending on the the VM and the app, you can get a ‘seamless mode’ that looks like a native Linux app.

VMs work most of the time quite well if you have enough RAM. (The VM always works, some applications will detect unusual hardware and may complain, e.g. unsupported GPU. Any sane software should run, though (e.g. with gpu acceleration).)

The bots faking real users’ streaming to gain profit is the questionable part. AI generated cheap content (created en masse for profit) will be the norm soon. If you think about it, quality content is already the exception.
