Currently, Tiktok US is owned by US Companies

that's exactly why I said, I am going to save this.

Then I will ask: what about TikTok US owned by US companies censoring anti-ICE and anti-Israel narrative, do they have freedom of speech?


[Let's simulate the discussion for old times sake.]

That's the GP's point.

At this stage it's the kettle calling the pot black.


TikTok easily bends over backwards authoritarian government. In Nepal, during the GenZ protest, TikTok disabled the search for "NepoBabies" which is the term people used for the affluent lifestyle of leaders' children and which was why the GenZ protest happened. Every other social media was banned but not TikTok because they happily censor whatever the government tells them to

In Nepal, on Sep 8, teenagers and GenZ organized peaceful protests. They were there on school uniform -- but 21+ were killed on a single day of peaceful protest. The next day, all 3 branches of the government were burned -- the legislative, the executive and the judiciary too. Even the Fox News equivalent (Kantipur) was burned.

I think people always opt for peaceful protest at first, but when that is made impossible, people go for the violent one. MLK was successful because there was the threat of Malcolm X. Same thing with Gandhi.


There is a bypass paywall clean that is very useful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bypass_Paywalls_Clean

Tantamount to malware, considering how it has been legally exiled from 3 platforms, especially Google's own extension store!

Good luck trusting that supply chain, man!


I don't read the plugin's source for every release, but I do check its domain allowlist.

Because I can see it is forbidden from running on any domain I'm concerned about, I consider BPC safer to run than any plugin that works for "all domains".


Usually, I restrict any extension to be "click to activate" and that works just fine. There is often no need to have anything running on every domain and every website. So it does ultimately become a whitelisting situation of my own configuration.

Some other bugs:

1. Open a file using Preview, but it is behind all other windows. 2. If you connect to your own personal hotspot (iphone) on mac, you can't forget it and connect to someone else's hotspot.


MS Office Online has been good with most of the things I need. Has that not been the experience for you?


I think using an atomic distro like Bazzite would have solved your problem.


To be honest, `awk` that the author references to as a good name, is not. It's just the initials of authors, which does not convey anything about what the tool does. It's yet another cognitive tax.

And I would go further, the extremely shortened names in Linux and other places is problematic too, given that most terminals now allow name completion on tab.


Now? Tab completion has been a thing for decades.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_completion

Tab completion being a thing does not take away from short, memorable names being easier to use. You'd likely end up typing more on average, due to multiple programs sharing the first few letters of their name


As an aside, I didn't know what Comic Sans looks like, so I searched on Google and it rendered the whole page in that font. I tried with other Fonts too like Arial and Times New Roman, and it did the same there. So cool!


If you search for Lucas de Groot (the designer of Calibri) you will get the results displayed in Calibri.


Sadly, it doesn't work with the coolest niche fonts... https://www.google.com/search?q=ibm+3270


Very cool... but I can't seem to get it to do so for other fonts I can think of off the top of my head... Inconsolata, Consolas, Fira Code, etc. "Times New Roman" does work as well.

Would be cool to see google support this for at least all the fonts in Google Fonts' library, since they're already well supported web fonts.


This was super cool - nice little Google easter egg.


Did you check if the SynthID works when you edit the photos with filters like GrayScale?
