I was working at a small mom & pop computer shop at the time. We sold a lot of Compaqs until the acquisition. Suddenly we were unable to get preferred technical support, had difficulty fulfilling large orders (50+ machines), and it was nearly impossible to get any OEM software that was supposed to ship with the machines.

And how do you propose stopping them please? The Senate is effectively toothless at this point and the House is actively aiding and abetting, and SCOTUS is almost as corrupt as Chump himself.

@CaroltheCrone
I did and, for the most part, none of those are really effective given the current state of the Senate, House, and SCOTUS.

Perhaps I am not reading deep enough, but I am not seeing anything that can be done at this time. The earliest would be the 2026 election.

@atomicpoet
Very thought provoking... I would say though that a lot of the reason has to do with the internet... The internet changed dramatically in the early 2000s and allowed people to "live" in the now in ways they never really could before. You want to play M.U.L.E., download a C-64 emulator and the ROM and you are back in the 80s, you want to play EverQuest, download it and join one of the TLP servers.

But it goes even further when you look at other things like movies, TV shows, and music... In the 90s it would take 5-10 minutes to download your favorite Journey song... Now you can stream it with more fidelity than the average person can hear. In the 90s if you wanted to watch a movie at home you had to drive to the nearest block buster, now you can stream it at 4K resolution

Umm, why? Serious question here and I am a white Republican male. Why do we need to wake up and why do we need to care. We have f'd over the American people for the last 250 years, maybe we should go quietly into that good night and let racism become a thing of the past.

@WrenArcher
While I understand your position and even agree with you, for the most part, please remember that the reason Chump won was more about voter apathy. Chump retained the MAGAt minority with nearly the same vote total as 2020, but over 1/3 of the US eligible voters chose not to vote at all. That is the real reason the orange shit-gibbon won.

Getting any logs before or after? If possible forward your logs to another server temporarily just in case.

@BeAware
In a recent interview she claimed that she was not aware of the whole situation and then when she was made aware of it, she stopped seeing or interacting with Masterson...

@TheNeedling
It's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for them

@aral
You don't need to rm before the mv as the mv will replace the existing file.

@georgetakei
Wait!?! I thought the trick was to accept all of them, but not show up to any of them... That way you don't show favoritism.

@FlashMobOfOne
Are you sure it is locking up? I ask because I have had extremely long pauses early on the shrink / move phase. In some tools they load the partition maps and file maps and process them in memory, which looks like pauses or lockups... Maybe you are running into somethin like that?

@tob @root42 @Tattooed_Mummy
I am not so sure about that. 30 years ago Eliza was about the best you could get for "therapy" chat bots, now there are things like Replika, Elomia, Mindspa, etc. We have come a long ways in the last 30 years. Note that I am not saying good, just that we have come a long way.

@WhyNotZoidberg @root42 @tob @Tattooed_Mummy
And anyone who thinks a LLM is a RNG has even less clue.

No one is claiming they are sentient or that it understands what it is say, but the fact is that LLM systems are our-scoring humans on various collegiate tests, they are diagnosing diseases that medical professionals are missing.

They are referring specifically to the radio communication between US ground stations and satellites... Not the satellites themselves.

@GottaLaff
Generally recalls for Tesla is just an over the air software update. This is vastly different than most automakers where a recall actually requires you to take your vehicle to a service center where they will remove a part and put a new one in.

@thomasfuchs @taylorlorenz
Not tryin to be that guy, but you are not their target audience. From what I can tell, their brand is really all about the "influencers", which means every wannabe "influencer" and media socialite will flock to it... And since it is tied to their existing IG accounts there is really no new "cost" associated with it.

I'll take "things that never happened" for $1000 Alex.
