Others said their local offices had closed since the pandemic
This part is wild. So they closed down the office and then punish the employees for not coming into the office. Tell me this is illegal.

I agree his answer sucks, but perhaps the fault still lies with the distribution developers (who should know better), not the authors of systemd. In that context I can understand the resentment expressed by the dev. It’s not directed toward the end user but toward the distro developers, who have implemented systemd in a broken and dangerous way.
I misread the title as “Fire men convicted of massive, illegal streaming service” and was wondering if they were broadcasting fires
When you buy something you should be able to pass it on or sell it to someone else. This “the software not sold, only licensed” BS should be illegal. Either you rent with a monthly fee, or you buy it and own it. Owning something means you can sell it to someone else.

They had so many great innovations over the years, the problem is they kill them off because they somehow can’t figure out how to monetize stuff that people want. It’s like if they can’t get the money from a third party, they’re out of ideas. I would have paid a monthly fee for Google Reader (not much, mind you, but I bet $1/month would have been enough to keep it running). I am now paying for Kagi because I prefer to be the customer and not the product.
25 days off per year is minimum by law in my country. I have 36. Would never be able to afford traveling for 36 days (plus weekends) every year though.
Am I the only one who doesn’t think vacation equals travel? It just means you don’t have to go to work.
This is the only way I ever publicly share any information about my travels. Don’t want to advertise that there’s nobody home.
I think a fourth tenet may be that the people who have tenants are the scum of the earth.
Yes but Facebook / Instagram / Twitter also do this and it has caused huge societal problems in the US, arguably much worse than TikTok.
List of government mass surveillance projects
Human rights violations by the CIA
The CLOUD Act
This started long before the 2016 election and is deeply ingrained into the way the United States government operates. I’m definitely not saying China is innocent, but a lot of the US government’s fears are rooted in projection. “We do it, so we must assume they do it too”.
The US would break them (and has always broken them) even if China wasn’t around.
Fisker found out Brownless got the car from an outside source
That typo is hilarious
Yeah well, it’s not like it’s beneath the US government to do the same thing. Remember Cambridge analytica, or the Snowden leaks? My point being, as far as I’m concerned as a citizen, banning TikTok just transfers power to a more concentrated group of actors. That makes the problem worse.
Watching from Europe I have no idea what the problem is. The US spies on our data, the CCP spies on our data. I can see why the US government might worry that they can’t access the data (except TikTok runs its servers on Oracle databases in the US just to satisfy them). But I don’t understand why the citizens of the US would support tightening the monopoly to just Facebook and Google.
There’s also a terrifying short story by Stephen King on the subject.
They probably mean a bought / fake account that FB doesn’t know is fake, so they can use it for bots.
What would people use this for? Do those structures fill a biological/functional purpose? Surely making a sphere with arbitrary sequences won’t do much good.
This smells like an SEO article and the link is here to boost it in the Google results. There’s literally no information in there that isn’t just common sense.
