To eat up 128GB+ it's got to be pulling in image data, for thumbnails or something. And then some, as the folder in question is 39.77 GB total. Or at least I would think. Anything to control the cacheing of whatever it's cacheing?

I posted this on X but thought I'd try here, too:

I just got the license but find I can't run it on my giant folders full of images, because I run out of memory on 128 gb Mac Studio. Is there any setting that can be changed that might let it not use so memory?

Be more Transparent that DOGE. Follow the money, have the amounts. Just coming with a single marketing bullet point is not going to convince any MAGA I know.

They do a bad job of it. All my credit cards are well above 20%. I keep them paid off but still … must be a loophole somewhere.

Rather than attempt to market single, salient points it would be better to honestly deconstruct what it does, what it has done, various cases—full transparency.

Also you have to get it out there. I never heard Democrats talk about, not in press conferences, not anytime Biden spoke. Never heard anything about this or that anything was being done, what the money way and what would be saved. If they would speak to the tax payers in English that would help.

Of course they don’t want their largess actually cut, they are as much a part of the government blob as anybody. Why wouldn’t they say it in public? Because it’s not what their constituents want, it’s not what the people who voted for them want. And nobody should get special dispensation.

Why it comes up saying Undefined it Bluesky I don’t know.

Good to see more clarity here. It would be nice to see more of it coming from DOGE. Would have been nice if it were already available from USAID. Would be nice if Musk wasn’t muddying the waters *of his own project*. That being said, I fully support a forensic audit of every dollar spent.

I’m not sure what you are saying here. Do you mean that the Twitter files were falsified, or unimportant, or represented good things that were treated as bad things by people too ignorant to understand? Or something else?

It's performative. They aren't serious.

The neural link port.

Fire departments actually focusing on fighting fires is so passé.

Also I will note that bill was authored and introduced into the house by Texas Republican Michael McCaul.

But now I know more of the specifics than I did previously, which is good. Always good to do more research!

Absolutely not; religious cult-like devotion to a given party or labeled ideology over new factual information is a pointless and self-defeating. It becomes worship based on faith rather than a pursuit of knowledge. I value being correct (to the limits of my current knowledge) over labels. Will read

Really? Rand Paul killed the original separate bill? And here I was blaming it on Chuck Schumer. Shame on me. Anyway, I’m guessing he didn’t kill it when it passed as separate legislation Saturday by unanimous vote. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/21/u... Hopefully NYT isn’t too right-wing for you.

I don’t feel you are serious about engaging in conversation here. But you seem satisfied with the narrative you have chosen; not sure why you are pretending to argue about it.

They probably correctly judged it would not work well for them in the context of the campaign. I suspect that kind of energy would have hurt more than helped.
