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.

He posted some Tweets about how he believes ChatGPT (or whichever AI service he uses, I can’t recall) is sentient, and of course, female.

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.

In my neighborhood there was a bike lane separated from the motor traffic with concrete bollards.

They removed the concrete bollards and replaced them with these shitty plastic ones… because people kept driving their cars into them.
