I love how they think we have some obligation to waste our time telling you why your idea is idiotic.. we dont, you can figure that out on your own.

@wjmaggos Their idiocy may matter, but that doesnt mean we should engage them, particularly when such engagement largely has no positive good and even perpetuates their idiocy by given them a soap box people might listen to.

Do people not realize that by the time they threaten to block me they have already established that by doing so thry would be doing me a favor.

Clearly not.

I use a script that follows and unfollows people by a set of rules. He does this thing where he blocks then unblocks people as some weird ounishment to force people to unfollow him. My script just refollowed as a result.

HopelessDemigod, to TikTok
@HopelessDemigod@mstdn.social avatar

Here is my personal take on the TikTok drama.

  1. The app and service is trash.

  2. I personally think it should be banned along with Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, Reddit and Instagram because it’s only purpose is to harvest data.

  3. Any law banning TikTok will most likely be struck down as unconstitutional.

  4. A better approach would be creating laws codifying the right to privacy, data retention, data destruction and banning the sale of data from these services. No exceptions.

@HopelessDemigod

Thats how i understood it. That is why it is so worrying, what you want is for it to be banned in violation of the rights and freedoms given by the constitution. You recognize it would violate the constitution yet still want it. That is what is so concerning.

freemo,
@freemo@qoto.org avatar

@HopelessDemigod

No i got that, its concerning that you think someone who wishes to consent to giving up their data but simply is foolish and doesnt know what is best for them is a good justification for denying free speech is exactly what concerns me.

To be fair we arent that misaligned. I do think that pervasive social networks should be treated as public space and their ability to censor curtailed. But I would not ban the medium or any forum beyond enforcing limitations on them.

freemo,
@freemo@qoto.org avatar

@HopelessDemigod

Agreed, but they didnt, nor do i think they should have. Simply being a service on the internet should not qualify you as a common carrier. I do think prolific social media services which do not inter-operate opening with other third-party services however should be classified as common carriers.

@skyblond i only use the basic functions of BTRFS, snapshots, backup, and copy-on-write.. the other stuff is a bit buggy and as you point out not as powerful as LVM anyway. Also you are likely going to need different formats on different partitions so you will need LVM anyway.

The U.S. government should not be in the business of shutting down social media firms on the basis of China-hate. TikTok is no worse (and in fact seems to be far better) than various social media apps from U.S.-based firms. There's a lot of be upset with China about, but TikTok (and drone leader DJI, which also has bipartisan China-hate trying to ban it) are not where Congress should be getting involved. If Congress passes such bans and Biden signs them, there will be major court battles and courts should strike the bans down.

You might want to try bringing your reading comprehension up. I never said they had no influence in decision making. I said they have no influence on day-to-day operations. Words are your friend.

This guy truely is a jackass in his comments.. he "pretends" to be a dumbass to mask actually being a dumbass and thinks its some sort of snarky debati g tactic tonpretend to completely misunderstand and misrepresent other peoples point and then argue agaibst the point he made up instead.

Its all very childiah and boring.

This isthis guys idiotic debate tactic. He completly misrepresents your argument, co tinues to pretend to be too stupid to understand even once you clarify his misubderstanding, thrn mock you for making a bad argument you never made.

Somehow he tbinks actibg like a moron makes him look smart or something.

Just a reminder, third-parties are the only parties do not support Israel's genocide on Palestine and their war of aggression throughout the middle east. Both Trump and Biden have been the biggest supporters of Israel.. Anything other than a third-party vote this year is a vote in favor of genocide.

freemo,
@freemo@qoto.org avatar

@hornblower Wrong, voting for Biden is what gets Trump elected because having Biden for the democrat ticket is the reason Trump stands the best chance of winning.

freemo,
@freemo@qoto.org avatar

@sammi

Everyone voting for anyone other than Trump or Biden will probably be the most effective single action people could take. A full solution would likely require a lot more, but that will be the closest you get to a solution with a single act.

@hornblower

> That makes zero sense. Jill has no chance at all to win, Biden does

What in the world does that have to do with what you asked... You asked for a solution. The solution is everyone votes for a third party like Stein. obviously if everyone votes for her she has a 100% chance of winning. So your point is simply incorrect.

what it sounds like you meant is "what is a solution that involves absolutely no one doing anything different other than you", in which case youd be right, voting for Biden, or Jill, or anyone else wont change anything, because there is no solution that you as an individual can execute.
