Where did I say I had a problem with this? So much knee jerking in here. I am stating that lawmakers should apply these same laws to our own social media. The same lawmakers who will most likely profit off this decision.

So you know exactly what I think about everyone else based on a single post to one person. Fucking Kreskin over here.

And you aren't even reading what I wrote. In no post did I defend tiktok... I merely stated that what it is doing is also being done by american based companies and they should be addressed as well.

It's cute how you think that the only government that's using our own data against us is china. Might want to step back and look at our own government, then apply your same line of thinking to all big tech companies in existence right now.

I wonder how many of these lawmakers will be invested in the company that swoops in and saves the American public?

Wow. Good luck with that.... Here's what Austin is dealing with after trying this same thing years ago.

Or something Jeff Bezos will be sporting. Sorry if that just ruined it for you.

Sounds great in theory, but when you are trying to use awk to print out commands that might have something like printf and have to start escaping quotes, it gets really messy really quick. I have run into situations like this more than I care to as I like writing commands that will write out other commands. Spaces in filenames also mess with things like sed or sort where you want a specific column. Sorry, but in my opinion using the same character that was previously determined to be a delimiter is just a bad idea.

Christ you guys are making me feel old. I remember back in the day when a serial connection was made through an actual serial port. I know I have some serial cards around here somewhere. I have also used the tar command on an actual tape... Here's a fun fact, if your tape drive (big reel to reel looking thing, not a cassette or other kind of 'tape') has an issue with rewinding, do not use your finger to manually spin the reel. Use a pencil. I finished reeling my tape back up once and realized I now had a blister on the end of my finger.
