I have noticed this behavior on Ubuntu in 13.13. On the other hand, I kept the habit of expecting a script to fail when modifying it (most of the time, starting a command in the mi…

Even being a paying customer has little value. Remember that Jordan Peterson was #15 of Patreon with more than $1m revenue if I’m correct, yet he was removed abruptly, I think in t…
