For sure. I notice many different sites on the web byting the dust these days. I won't lie and say that I'll miss any of them, including (especially?) fidonet capable ones. Personally I think they should be put out of business. A bunch of blatant crooks methinks.

Same with Little Mikey's Brain. I have a few other ones up my sleave as well, including a google based tablet running WeBeBashing thanks to termux. Speaking of termux, I can change fonts but not sizes which is what I want. :::mutter, mutter, mutter:::

How about you?

Here is another tip, using ZSH, you can run a command as a glob qualifier, to only include files where the result returns non-zero.

For example
rm *(e:'grep -q cow $REPLY':)

will only delete files which contain the string "cow".

I won't lie and say that I'll miss any of them, including

i miss instagram from the time it was not owned by facebook, and yahoo photogallery is not that good anyway, but maybe loosed so many users that server farms have 1TB storage to new users, no thanks

lets hope #meta is not something that being copyrighted by facebook, or is it meta now ? :=)

termux can run on virtual qemu, and android aswell, just not much time to use it here, but i hope google would make android more opensource, that include hardware drivers, sadly anyone that can make hardware, can make there own closed source hardware drivers, this is sadly on android, while kernel should really not be depending on hardware brands, i dont belive google did not know that

How about you?

I don't know much about this stuff. I have an older alcatel phone but it works well for me. It's an android.

We also have a android tablet. I don't use it at all, I stick to my desktop mostly.

i have now huawei matepad pro with can sms, and make phonecalls, even without google apps, eq it does not have google :)

I haven't heard of that before so I looked it up. I like the keyboard that comes with that, I might be able to use something like that. I don't have a good impression of huawei however.

why nokia go down that route in china :(

I don't understand, what has nokia done?

Did the earthquake release them from their subterranean prison?

Hey Benny!

not including facebook

They were down not that long ago. I heard a claim they lost hundreds of millions in lost business. Beats me what anyone values in that particular cesspool.

i miss instagram from the time it was not owned by facebook

That is the usual story. Remember what happened to Nokia when MS bought them out?

can make there own closed source hardware drivers

And then lock the user out but allow access to shady web based businesses such as the Google App Store. Funny how that works eh?

Ahh, with ZSH you can do this with

ls **/*(.Lm+1)

or to run any command on those files
chown user.user **/*(.Lm+1)
Change user and group to "user" for any file in this directory tree over 1M

But here is another, works with bash and zsh.

Lets day you run a command, and you want to reuse the last parameter
for example you type
ls /home/user/documents/file/path/this_is_a_text_file.txt
now you want to delete it, so instead of typing the path again, or hitting up arrow and changing "ls" to "rm", you can just use "ALT-." to bring up the last parameter.

Type rm, then alt-., and the last parameter from the last command, in this example the long path and filename, will be inserted.
