Maybe, but I don’t think his intent is to shut me up. I think he’s just a true believer. I think he’s honestly trying to be helpful with it.

God, I hate this so much. I used to frequently ask the senior engineer on my team for input on whatever I was working on, but he started just replying with copy-pasted Gemini responses.

Now I don’t really ask him for input anymore.

By default bash will only expand an alias if it’s the first argument of the command (that is, the command itself).

It’s probably not intended to use aliases this way, and there are probably better options for you.

However, there is a little trick you can do. If the alias command ends in a space, then bash will also check the next argument:

alias cd='cd '

Notice the trailing space after ‘cd’ in the alias definition.

alias docs='/media/docs'

then, cd docs should work the way you expect.

Another method would be to:

alias docs='echo /media/docs'

Then you can do

cd `docs`  

The backticks will cause the shell to replace that portion with the output of the docs shell command, which will be expanded via the alias.

All that said, it’s probably easiest just to use a link, like another commenter suggested.

“Small government” red states love doing stuff like this. The state of Indiana passed a law banning ‘no turn on red’ signs, just to spite Indianapolis.

These states are run by rural losers who resent the fact that they depend on the predominantly blue cities for all their economic activity.

there’s no guarantee that Jellyfin won’t enshitify

Well, Jellyfin is released under the GPL license, which may not be a guarantee, but is probably about as good as you can get.

Yeah, the ‘for reasons I don’t quite understand’ bit was intended slightly sarcastically.

One issue with this is that uutils is licensed under the MIT license, instead of coreutils’ GPL license. In fact, for reasons I don’t quite understand many of these rust rewrites are licensed with the MIT license. This will contribute to long term erosion of the rights granted by the GPL to software projects and users.

No, these states agree to commit their electors to the winner of the national popular vote. This would make it impossible for one candidate to win the election having lost the national popular vote.

It does not end first past the post voting. If it went into effect it would essentially mean that the popular vote would determine the outcome of the presidential election, by forcing the electoral college results to match. The popular vote would still be first past the post.

I don’t know the details of the allegations, but it’s possible that the assaults occured in New York.

There will be additional proceedings to determine the amount of punitive damages to apply as well. So this probably isn’t the entire judgement.

Whether it survived appeal to establish a precedent for other complaints is another story.

But, topically, will not block YouTube ads

If you never give a tv the internet, it stays a dumb tv, so far.

I think it’s only a matter of time before TV manufacturers start disabling the TVs if they can’t connect periodically. Or they’ll start shipping them with SIM cards.

I’m not sure if you’re being serious, but software engineering and IT systems administration are different roles typically filled by different people.

A company or organization can have a quite sophisticated IT department without having any software engineers on staff.

This is already happening.

It’s not a branch, it’s the trunk

FYI, Tidal is approximately the same price as Spotify and there are several tools floating around on GitHub which will allow you to download high quality flac files from that service.

Let me clarify: I did not mean ‘accecpt’ as in ‘accept and merge changes into the code’, but as ‘accept mail at this address’.

Often yes, but not necessarily. The GPL requires you to distribute the source code. But I’m not aware of any requirements to accept changes from anyone else.

Not quite correct. The GPL (any other free software license I’m aware of) doesn’t require you to accept changes from anyway. You can develop a piece of software and release it under the GPL without accepting public pull requests.

Free software licenses protect your rights to do certain things with the source code (the distinction from ‘source available’ software being exactly what is explicitly protected), but it doesn’t require you to accept or entertain changes from anyone who wants to make them–essentially you can force them to fork the project in those cases.
