    Hey Benny!

    yes why not as long i can ? :=)

    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.

    marsbars is another option :)

    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".

    Let's keep it going...

    find / -type f -size 1G

    This command will start in the root / directory and check files and list them if the file(s) are 1 gigs or more.

    unless one got a new nokia tablet where the phone call is removed on, it can still send sms with parrent parred mobilphone, sadly in security :/

    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?

    Karate do no. =)

    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?

    Life is good,
    Maurice

    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.
