https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/17/tech/tiktok-user-data-oracle/index.html Definitely, definitely correct. A company that’s owned by a foreign nation shouldn’t be a problem. And if you think that this doesn’t set a precedent for banning anything politicians don’t like, then I feel sorry for your naivety.
The US has control of US tiktok servers. This is bannable because politicians want the power to control social media.
Wouldn’t that be nice, if the powers that be didn’t grab for more power lol
If that was a catalyst for many others to do the same instead of an isolated incident, we wouldn’t have called it an assassination. We would have called it a revolution. In the kind of time and society we find ourselves in, this is the closest we’ll ever get to a revolution. And I say, viva la revolución!
I was on tiktok and even created for it for a bit, but it did get exhausting quickly after getting flooded with a painful amount of ads. I do like short form content though, I’ve been enjoying Loops!
These bans are bad. All it takes is for the US to think the fediverse is a threat and this goes too. You clearly don’t like the platform and that’s okay, but don’t root for government censorship on the internet.
This year in particular has just been a fucking awful job market. I lost my job in January and had severance last a couple months, but even after spending every day reading job boards and filing job applications until I was emotionally exhausted, I had zero callbacks for seven months. It was only a few months ago that I got two interviews, and I got offers from both. As soon as I accepted, I had some other companies suddenly crawling to me with offers. I’m still recovering from my debts accrued in that time, but I’m finally in a much better place now. Keep going at it, and I promise something will crack.
I definitely struggled to wrap my head around it at first, but I got used to using it when I got into DevOps, and once you understand it, it becomes so easy and helpful that it’s easy to overuse it. I can certainly answer any questions to the best of my ability if you do look into it!
I’ve had all my servers running on my personal Windows machine, and I’ve been planning to move them to a dedicated Linux machine, as well as move to Linux on my PC. Part of that involved containerizing my whole setup to make the move easier. There’s a script listed in Jellyfin docs that helps you migrate your setup. Itzs a bit involved if you’re coming from Windows but very doable. Very easy if you’re already on Linux though.
If anything, all I can really imagine that’s necessary is to not worship him. Kind of like when you get out of grade school and find out that the US founding fathers were not in fact gods, but disgusting men that were products of their time.
It’s been a bit since I’ve asked them, but they certainly complained about the cost before. Almost as much as the hosting itself for sure.
I’ve tried explaining to them before, but they think that it’s a scam because it’s free lol
And my parents still buy SSL certs because that’s just what they know 🤢
I remember that for a time, JC Penney focused on honest pricing and abandoned common predatory prices. They came close to bankruptcy and went back to their old ways. The psychology of feeling like we got a good deal is so ingrained into most people that it becomes difficult to run a business without those things
It’s kind of what I liked about Baby Driver, the movie acknowledges that a laundromat is kind of a weird place to hang out for a date, but the awkwardness lets the passionate feelings they have for each other shine through.
A few years ago I got this experience on mobile and posted about it on r/assholedesign, but it was autoremoved as a banned repost even though I didn’t see anything like it. Yet another ban happy subreddit, I’m glad to be out of that place. This is truly awful though, and why I’m happy to use revanced.
When I read “fully autonomous”, I see how creepy its movements are and just imagine it seizing its moment, getting on all fours and charging someone. You could make a horror movie out of this lol
And as I’ve replied to many others, that’s a criticism of 11 itself and perfectly understandable. It’s not a reason to seethe at end of lifing. There’s features of software introduced that I don’t like in plenty of things including linux, but I’m not going to get mad that the version I like better doesn’t get supported forever
Windows 10 has been out a long time
Yeah, that’s how time works. Yes they’re pushing a move and 11 sucks but end of support is not like that any more than Ubuntu 12.04 is, and that’s been around even longer.
I’m baffled by your blind faith in politicians. There’s been clear foreign influence on just about every major social media platform.
