sarimkx··on US House passes bill to ban TikTok if owners won't divest
The real reason is here folks https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/04/02/younger-a...

All independent journalists have said this is ONLY because of Gaza. Trying to suppress young people's opinions i.e. Free speech.

This concept has been around for decades now. I think you are talking about something different to what I originally suggested.

sarimkx··on Boeing's Dead Whistleblower Spoke the Truth
Fine, I'll only concede on the uppercase letter point.

Seriously? A bunch of talented, hard working hackers, researchers, and investigative journalists doing their own independent investigation is now called a "witch hunt".

Thank you so much but for now I just posted this to share this article I read which shows how insane the policy is.

The real story here I think.

I urge everyone to take some time out to read some of the comments on this post.

Some really interesting perspectives in the comments.

> If you're not sure what technology to get good at, get good at programming. That has been the source of the median startup for the last 30 years, and this is probably not going to change in the next 10.

Did not expect this tbh. So many people here worried about the future of programming but PG believes we're safe! Alas, something positive!

They are investing in this sector a lot as well

These are general news links. Without going into too many details, I know many ecom brands based in the U.S. & UK that literally depend on sales from TikTok.

Interesting. Thank you for mentioning!
sarimkx··on Slack or Discord?
Slack for sure. Discord is way too spam-my for my taste. Its popular with gamers and I am not a gamer.

Correction: possible death penalty for Assange

sarimkx··on U.S. Intelligence Says TikTok Is a Threat – But Only in Theory
- The country with proven mass surveillance of its own citizens. - Only country caught tapping German Chancellor's Phones. - Country trying to put Assange in prison for 100+ years.

etc....so much more I could add. This country that does not need to be named is now banning an app on the pretext of intelligence? Poetic.

This is also very anti-capitalist which is slightly more worrying. Many businesses now depend on tiktok. Much of ecommerce growth in the past 2 years has been due to tiktok.

I hope the ban does not happen but if it does, China should ban the production and sale of Tesla's or something similar.
