Lulzagna ,

Does this apply to chromium browsers too?

Lulzagna ,

I use arch as a daily driver. Very seldom have any issues, and any issues I do have are from the software. I.e. mesa breaking vaapi, grub breaking boot, etc.

Use stagnant software if you can't spare 5 minutes once in a while rolling back problematic packages.

Lulzagna ,

Imagine NOT being banned from FreeDesktop

Lulzagna ,

I've had more issues with most distros than arch.

Lulzagna ,

How?

Lulzagna , (edited )

Source? Examples?

I tried googling, can't find anything that supports these claims

Edit: third party advertisers abusing tiktoks advertising algorithms is not on topic to the original comment that tiktok itself specifically targets children, and tiktok has addressed these issues.

You can downvote all you want, but I've still not been provided any proof that tiktok specifically targets or intends their platform to be for children.

I'm not dismissing the original claim. I'm genuinely curious, but I need logical discourse, not users with mental illness going off on complete tangents.

If you have any cognitive thought or opinionated source that tiktok is a bad faith actor towards the safety or health of children, I'd love to read it. My company builds software, so knowing the failings of tiktok to protect children is in my interest.

Unrelated - this is just a business tiktok page

Lulzagna ,

This is about advertising to children within the platform and how tiktok intends to protect unethical advertising to children

Lulzagna ,

Again, this supports tiktok protecting children

Lulzagna ,

Again, this is not relevant to the original comment.

This is about how advertising was abused to target children.

It honestly sounds like you unjustifiably hate the platform and are throwing every nonsensical argument.

You've provided zero justification that tiktok as a company purposely targets children or designs their application specifically for children.

Lulzagna ,

Unrelated, and you provided links that tiktok has worked to prevent this behavior from advertised

Please find two brain cells to rub together to understand the context of the original comment. You've gone on a complete nonsensical tangent akin to mental illness

Lulzagna ,

Tiktok's stance is rather meaningless because they'd never admit wrongdoing. I'm more curious how does tiktok target children with their platform? How do they lure them to it and why?

Then the conversation becomes: What standards should social media platforms be accountable to?

Lulzagna ,

Kids using tiktok and tiktok specifically targeting children to use their platform are distinctly different. Just because kids use tiktok doesn't mean it's because they were lured there. Those metrics only identify that tiktok is popular among youth, which is not an indication of malice whatsoever.

I appreciate your opinion, but short video clips on Mobile devices are nothing inherent to children. Now if tiktok was giving you pokemon for signing up or posting of their platform, then there'd be a valid argument that they're targeting children. (I feel like there was a pokeball collaboration with tiktok once, but I can't find a source to support it)

Getting back to the original context - the argument that Tiktok should be shut down because "it's short videos on mobile platforms that's popular among teens" is lunacy. Everyone is throwing shade at me and not realizing how absurd their argument is.

I'm not acting in bad faith either. I don't care about the fate of tiktok, but I'm seeing a trend of vilification without proper logical discourse. It's disconcerting to say the least.

Lulzagna ,

Agreed. We're both being downvote because we're not part of the hive mind.

Most of the links provided are about how children were easy to advertise to and TikTok was not properly protecting them. That's a completely different discussion than "tiktok is targeting children".

I want to be a supporter of keeping children safe, but I don't think banning tiktok will help anything other than create 5 new platforms that will make letting kids safe even harder

Edit: that last argument is a straw man, but you get the point

Lulzagna ,

No need to apologize, you're the first person to actually calmly and willingly discuss the topic without completely dismissing being disagreed with.

I know you're not the originally comment I was replying to, but you conveniently moved the goal posts. The context of the entire conversation is whether TikTok specifically should be shut down because it targets children for it's own gain. You're now arguing that social media in general has negative impact on society and children, which I agree with, but is completely skewing the conversation and was, in no way, the central point of the discussion.

So your opinion is that all social media platforms that deem to have negative affects on society should be shut down? Do you not see what's wrong with that? You're saying humans can't decide whether or not they want to use social media. You should understand how absolutely absurd that is - that is a completely dystopian totalitarian dictatorship idea. It sounds like a chapter in 1984.

Lulzagna ,

Why is anyone still using grub? This is on you at this point

Lulzagna ,

Yes, I've been affected by the grub crap several times.

Been using arch and endeavour for about 5 years now, only ever had boot issues caused by Nvidia drivers. Outside of grub that is.

Lulzagna ,

Interesting. How long ago was this? I use arch daily as my main driver, but also run it on a vps, a laptop, and a raspberry pi (arm distro). Other than grub, I can't recall the last time upgrading caused an issue.

Lulzagna ,

Because rEFInd exists

Lulzagna ,

rEFInd doesn't break and works really well, though I'm no bootloader guru so take my opinion with a grain of salt

Lulzagna ,

Gotcha

Reddit has never turned a profit in nearly 20 years, but filed to go public anyway (www.cnn.com)

Reddit has never turned a profit in nearly 20 years, but filed to go public anyway::Reddit, the message board site known for its chronically online userbase and for originating much internet discourse, filed for its long-anticipated initial public offering on Thursday.

Lulzagna ,

Not to be that guy, but I think he makes 300k and was given 193m in stock options last year based on some whack evaluation.

Still an utterly insane number, hope they get crushed on the public market

Lulzagna ,

I don't get it. Arch Linux is the butt of a joke because it's Linux?

Lulzagna ,

Trans people: exist

Linux user base: TRANS PEOPLE EXIST

Wow, great joke. 🙄
