Not relevant to the thread, sure. But the parent poster's point was something along the lines of "like ByteDance will give a damn - they still have the rest of the world market, so they will happily accept the ban."

But you're right. Not exactly relevant to the thread.

Gen Z know more about tech than you may think.

They should call it.... Gine.

It isn't. There's a reason for it.

Oh.

Time to fork!

Bill Gates denied saying this, by the way.

Please use punctuation.

The joke is that there are some people who think that by uploading themselves into a machine "to live forever," their consciousness will also be transferred, like when you travel by bus from one city to another. In reality, you "upload yourself," but that yourself is not you, but a copy of you. So, once the copy is done, you will still be in your original body, and the copy will "think" it is you, but it's not you. It's a copy of you! So, you continue to live in your body until you die, and, well, for you - that's it. You're dead. You're not living. You're finished. Everything is black. Void. Null. Done - unless you believe in the afterlife, so you'll be in heaven, hell, purgatory or whatever, but the point is, you're not longer on Earth "living forever." That's just some other entity who thinks it is you, but it's not you (again, because you're dead.)

This is represented by the parameters being passed by value (a copy) instead of by reference (same data) in the poster's image.

I guess you focused on the "ineffectually" part indicating that US users would "ignore the ban." Fair enough. But I think the comment is more about ByteDance not caring about losing the U.S. market.

You're underestimating gen-Zers.

Except that it's not stupid bullshit. It's like saying "just suck it up and accept the fact that your TV will serve you ads and track you."

They're noise in the search results. If there was a "no shorts" filter, I would have used it long ago.

Lol, I don't agree with what the parent poster said, but your interpretation is way off!

No, he's saying that if ByteDance loses the American market, it won't matter much (it does, in my opinion.)

Yes, the U.S. population represents 4% of the world, but what about in the economic world?

No, it isn't.

In that case, you're contradicting yourself, because the Ubuntu "promotions" require a money exchange.

In other words, you hide your head in the sand, like many Windows users.

"You need these updates!!!!! But they're only available with Ubuntu Pro."

So.....
