as seen in terry pratchett’s last continent (i think that’s the one with the god of evolution)

i’m afraid it’s M$ or MiKKKroSSoft. your choice.

they liked 90s russia, when it was weak, full of child prostitutes and people were dying en-masse from substance abuse (and the barn doors were wide open so they could loot it)

i’d probably do

function cap() {
        prename 's/(^[a-z]?)/\U$1/' "$@"
}

it means it has to be invoked as cap *, but it also means that you can do cap foo* or whatever

when you create the alias, the shell substitutes the $1 (to nothing, probably) since your alias is in "" (double quotes).
now, if you swap the single and double quotes, then the substitution still happens, but at invocation time instead of at definition time.
you actually want perl to deal with this $1, so neither is good.

you have three options:

• write a function instead, as has been suggested
• use $'' quoting, which lets you put ’ (single quote) inside ’ (single quote) without going mad: alias cica=$'foo \'$bar\' baz'
• go insane and do this: alias cica='foo '\''$bar'\'' baz' (this is the old way, without bash’s $'')

IIRC microsoft got got about this in the ie6 days or so, looks like they found their way back to their old behavior

what are you on about, there aint no bourgeoisie on the sun…

but without traditions, we’re just drifting aimlessly through life

it’s the fastest way to get crews for your navy

it wasnt puny wars, it was punic wars. their pun game was too strong. rome was regularly humiliated by clever wordplay and their best and brightest could only come up with a retort like “well your face is an ass!”

so there was no choice, they had to destroy carthage.

no dear, that’s the palestinians. the ukrainians will be mostly fine once this war is finally over.

none. you dont need a DE, you can just run a tiling wm and some terminals…

yes, but old people can get over that and just stop giving a fuck and accept that they’re weird now. it must be liberating.

we do a little trolling…

oh yes it made the noise.

yes, that’s what i was going for. that they’re going to bulldoze our cities to make way for the child flattening machines. carbrain cannot be stopped.

surely that’s israel

are you using ntfs-3g or the older shittier ntfs driver?

it’s only far right if your overton window is hopelessly skewed. zelensky’s govt is actually as far left as they come, and his opposition groups are only slightly to his right, being socdems.
