  • Update: thank you for pointing out to me which community this was posted on.

    I’m going to leave this post up as a cautionary tale for people like me who don’t pay enough attention!


    But Linux is cool cuz it’s so fast and it doesn’t break.

    Long as I’ve been using it anyway.

    So now linux is going to be much slower, going to break and be more susceptible to security breaches?

    I’m not a programmer, is the upside supposed to be that with so many more programmers able to work on the kernel, those issues will be able to be fixed by the extra programmers?

    It’s not like there’s anything wrong with Linux right now.










  • My issue is with information flowing to the Chinese government.

    I understand that in the United States that information drain has been discontinued(as much as any American app discontinues information drain) but the fact that a few years ago, personal information was going straight from TikTok to the Chinese government who is actively seeking that information, and the app TikTok came from, douyin, still sends information to the Chinese government today like this is enough to give me pause.

    To me, it’s not the same as Facebook or Instagram or whatever getting banned because of that direct and recent connection to the Chinese government.
