But why give your data to anyone? I totally understand the argument that you don't want your own government to have it, but willingly surrendering it to another nation is sketchy at best. With Lemmy, Mastodon and Pixelfed there are sufficient tracking-free alternatives with solid enough apps for most use cases.
Ah alright, I've yet to watch a single streamer.
Who the hell is Asmon? I thought the headline was referencing Elon.
XiaoHongShu is much older than tiktok, it started shortly after facebook, though resembles more a mix of Twitter and Instagram.
You can't open douyin (the Chinese Tiktok) with a non-Chinese SIM present. So implementing it on the software side would be trivial, if google was to enforce this change software-sided.
The block is trivial to bypass though, all you need to do is use wifi while disabling the SIM slot in your phone settings. My wife is Chinese, and I had to figure that out for her.
Tiktok is Chinese spyware, that's been caught again and again to send user data to servers in China. How can anyone in their right mind not be outspoken and negative about this shit?
Users leaving tiktok in favor of xhs are totally insane.
I'm wondering if the editor doesn't want the article to be read. It starts off so lengthy and boring, I was ready to give up after the first 3 or 4 paragraphs, and just didn't manage to finish thanks to the prosaic writing style. Hope some actual news outlet picks it up and sticks to the facts.
Never had that issue. Which keyboard are you using, if you don't mind me asking? Personally I'm still on Swype & Dragon. Pioneer and still best of class, even though it was officially discontinued years ago.
That's a virtual structure in github, not a legal construct. Those organisations have owners (minimum 2), but if they collude and go rogue, they can do quite a lot of harm. (See also https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-peoples-access-to-your-organization-with-roles/roles-in-an-organization).
A formally incorporated nonprofit organization has statutes, organs, supervisory boards and all that by which they must adhere, so once set up properly, the software would be fully protected from malicious intent on a legal level.
You're oversimplifying things. If the evil overlord (tm) demands to build weapons of mass destruction, is the proud engineer with a family of 5 who designs them innocent?
Once it is an organization, yes, that's the whole point. Right now it is still an individual, that's the point I was trying to make.
China treats data as bad as the US, I want neither of them to have access.
