I think we’ll just go back to valuing in-person interactions way more than digital ones.

The ebb and flow of consumerism.

I hope one day we have enough data to recognize it and stop it.

Search: How to do X

“First, what is X”

“Why would you want to do X”

“Finally, here’s how you do X.”

Just gotta repeat X as much as possible under as many different contexts to ensure your results end up at the top.

It’s really disgusting and I’m saddened by how we constantly reward people like this for making the world a worse place.

Soon: “US forces chinese battery developer to sell its business to an American company”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TikTok#Potential_data_collection_by_the_Chinese_government

The United States has not offered any evidence of TikTok sharing such information with Chinese authorities.

Can you share any information to contradict this?

Get your shit together, america.

You’re being lapped.

I downvoted him because it’s not a good thing and going further to ban the software is even worse.

This is a waste of resources that could be better spent helping humanity. Instead, we use it to protect affluent white girls from their own insecurity.

Rich families sometimes also have teen girls among them.

Yay, more things to waste money on.

That’s because it’s a problem that affects rich people.

Spurred by rich people*

We don’t solve problems that only affect poor people.

Next go for Google, Meta, Apple, and Microsoft too.

That’s the thing though… they won’t.

This isn’t about competition or security. It’s about funneling profits from one nation to another.

Say it with me,

It was a ban on tiktok, but not “their voice.”

The goal is to move tiktok profits out of China and into the US.

Privacy concerns are a load of bullshit and you shouldn’t believe anyone telling you otherwise.

Do you guys actually use commas instead of periods for decimals?

I agree with him.

Or use a different distro.

Fucking scumbags.

I definitely hate snaps.

Moved my server from Ubuntu to Debian because of snaps and ESM.

Ubuntu is intrinsically less-secure than Debian because they lock security updates behind paywalls. We really should stop recommending it as a community.
