I would switch if all my DWM patches worked on DWL, but till they write the same patches for DWL I'm sticking with X11

"But 3rd party repair people will install TikTok on your phone if you trust them"

Just why?

It's been really sad watching them shoot themselves in the foot like this. They seem bent on destroying their distro. Which was the first distro I really used on an old laptop after trying a few.

Man Ubuntu 16 those were the days.

Wow another parent who doesn't parent what their kids do online. And then blames corpos for it, and even tries to get the UK taxpayer to pay for it. Sure roaming charges are ridiculous, but I don't even really ever travel and I know that.

People have already proven they will put up with about anything Microsoft throws at them, so they were never going to switch anyway.

Also you still can't uninstall the bootloader under windows.😆

Nextcloud, after setting it up it gives me everything I love about Google and Apple's cloud services without the privacy invasion or any of the other cons. And I even find it more stable and less buggy. 10/10

As someone who lives in the UK where only farmers can get a gun to protect livestock from dangerous wildlife( which hate on me all you want is a valid reason to own a firearm and not just as a fancy toy to show off like Americans). Statistics show that men tend to use more brutal methods of suicide so not having guns makes no difference because they will simply use a different fatal method. So as someone who lives in a country that has a lot of suicides and no guns for the average joe. Removing guns has solved nothing in terms of suicide.

So please draw info from other countries before making assumptions about how a law would change your country, because otherwise it's very narrow minded, and you will waste time and lives trying to make a solution that already has no effect abroad.

It's not the thinnest thing ever, but I find my old ThinkPad X230 very light and easy to use for extended periods on my lap

Honesty they don't actually care. There is more then enough evidence that something needs to be done about TikTok and they pick the dumbest ones to actually bring attention too( or just the ones that directly effect them).

I can't take the same people who ignore how much TikTok and Instagram enable actual pedophiles (and who go after weebs instead) seriously when they dare say think of the children.

Because they want you to vote in some new bill with ten million bolted on laws that have nothing to do with protecting kids.

Seriously TikTok spread a mass infection of a crazy mental illness similar to Tourettes. And the list goes on.

Sorry for the rant I'm just sick of these people on all sides of the political spectrum.

Also if you're getting your political opinions from TikTok then I think you have deeper problems then a ban would solve.
