curl: (23) Failure writing output to destination

I want to run the following on ubunt 20.04:

sh <(curl -L ) --daemon

what I got is this:

sh <(curl -L ) --daemon % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0

curl: (23) Failure writing output to destination
/dev/fd/63: failed to download '

When I have a look at /dev/fd/ I see a bunch of files marked inaccessible:

I guess this has something to do with the failure to download. Am I right? What can I do against it? I am just a 'normal' ubuntu user, this kind of stuff exceeds my ubuntu-knowledge.

UPDATE: Even if I run the whole thing as root the result remains the same:

After a very long research I found a useful hint.

Can't write to a hidden path using Curl

Basically snap curl is useless. Uninstall it properly. Get the proper apt curl, and everything works like a charm.

$ sudo snap remove curl
$ sudo apt install curl
