Wouldnt "je ne sais pas parler francais" be more of a "i dont know speak french"? Like, sounding more gramatically broken?
The 'parler' is in an unconjugated form, i read that like its some broken form hehe

Nope, i also get that kick out of it haha. Love it.
Though, i must say that my french is really terrible so i might as wel just not speak it

"Je ne parle pas français" There you go, everything you need.

Oh, my idea isnt perfect. Not even close haha
It would cause platforms to become subscription based or be backed by large companies for their own profit ( see linux, github, and every open source, non profit organisation backed and/or managed by bigger companies ). No person on the internet would agree with that and its a hard bullet to bite.

Its just that from a eu citizen standpoint, this ban solves nothing for them. Its like giving the keys to everything for some bad guy to some other bad guy that both want to be above you.

And american citizens also dont benefit jack shit from this. If not, makes it worse for them as the tiktok data can now be used to make their lives worse, easier.

I will say that i agree something is better than nothing and something had to be done, dont get me wrong. I just think it was a half ass, political war bullshit choice they made with the resources they had that solves nothing besides "oh no, china be harvesting more data than us. Quick! Respond!".
Meanwhile some eu countries took on a grander scale and banned tik tok apps on government devices, which does a better job than this imho ( source : https://edition.cnn.com/2023/02/28/tech/tiktok-eu-ban-intl-hnk/index.html ) AND they did it last year :p

There were also ideas pitched around to extend this to all social media apps, but i assume that was shut down due to obvious reasons.

Hm, youre right. It is an uphill battle, and its a battle the eu has been trying to fight with big us tech for a few years now. They too should be punished and limited, just like tik tok. There has to be a way to punish them all, without forcing tik tok to become part of the big us tech family that the us can leach off. Its causing a shit ton of issues and problems that this does not solve imo.
Also, they cant ignore fines if you do it right, but the us will never do it right hehe :p

So, lets just kill off data hoarding and data sharing between platforms. Kill all shit like tiktok, meta, twitter, ... In one fell swoop.

I agree fully, but pushing for a law that basically says "apps from a list of 6 countries are not allowed here unless moved to the us" is a bullshit thing and forces them to give the us more power and control over the data. Hence my comparison.

I believe they should put laws in order a la gdpr to protect users from the data stuff. You know, the actual issue of tiktok.

... You didnt read my whole comment did you :p
I said the same thing, but more neutral and political :')

I will be honest, i am fully against tiktok and everything it stands for. It should burn in hell.

...However, the law the us passed to ban tiktok makes no sense whatsoever. At its core its as bad as china's grasp on a lot of markets. I believe a more correct way is to ban the practices tik tok does and ban it from federal devices. However, such a law needs more effort and would also get us-based companies in trouble.
But even then, its a way better solution to the problem

Aaahhh, i know which comic youre talking about. I didnt know its title was loss. Thanks!

My mistake, youre right. Its sauron that was on savage island

I dont get it, anyone that can explain this one to me? I am completely out of the loop haha

Figured, guy looks like stegron, which i assume is him

Vlc has hardware acceleration afaik. I think its more a case of the ffmpeg codec not supporting it yet because what the actual fuck haha

I do this with my .net barcode parserbuilder project. I make a few comments on the pr for them to fix, merge it and then go over it myself to clean it up. This way they feel appreciated because its merged and the code stays clean and consistent :)

Left? Dont you mean right?

Or empty if neither (shell access), but thats obvious hehe

I dont know, could be used to target tv's and embedded devices. A user has less control there and they have free reign there. Wouldnt be surprised if they knew this

Old gray mere aint what she used to be, aint what she used to be

It doesnt, it cant as the ads come from the same hostname as the videos itself afaik

I think its more a case of trying to hold on to the market shares they own. Its been slow and in very very small pieces, but the fact amd has made their ai gpu stuff open source, have semi decent integrated gpus and have open gpu drivers did some things.
On top of that a company coalition against nvidia for a cuda replacement was started. Nvidia have to be careful in the next few years
