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?

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).)

I wouldn’t even try with wine these days.

Why don’t you use the Win10 machine you have, the online version of Microsoft Office (web browser or app), a VM with Windows, or (if it works for your case) Google Docs or OnlyOffice.

I’m not worried about e-ink price tags. Aldi has them. I’m worry if it says, use your phone to find special offers only for you.

Not legal advice, just an idea.

Publish early and frequently (e.g. on github with a license statement) and encourage others to clone it. Now the code is out there. You can’t take it back. Even better if the funding agency explicitly approves this.

You can still dual-license, later, i.e. use a more permissive (or different) license if the agency or a research partner requires this. Just make sure the repo with your preferred licence stays available and uptodate.

The license is less important than you think. OSS projects live as long as there is at least one maintainer.

Not an expert, not an insider. Just commenting to inform about what i know.

When wayland was designed, security was a concern and it was handled differently than in X decades ago. That is good.

Under X any application can be a screenreader and see your data. This was okay when you trusted everything on your machine, but is a problem today.

Under wayland’s original design, no application could be a screenreader. That’s bad. It took way too long to agree on how to make exceptions to the rule, e.g. for screen readers, screen sharing in video calls, etc.

Still waiting for the day my education pays off.

Yes, it’s called Linux. Just boot any live usb and you’ll see.

I get what you are asking: Why try hundred distros, just tell me the one that works, but I’m not aware of any such tool. If an open-source driver exists the kernel is really good at auto-detecting everything and make it work.

There are two screenshot and I can see them? No #AltText though.

Obviously. It was a nice small PR to fix a typo and a pronoun in a readme file. This is the kind of change where you just press Accept, Merge, and go on with your life.
