Weird how so many techies cannot fathom how a business-as-usual approach to cutting government waste is not going to work anymore. We literally have to bring out AIs and geniuses to unravel the mess of government fraud, waste, and abuse because of how complex and opaque it is -- and then blame them for not having the "right credentials". As an ex-military person, still working for this broken Federal government, I say: lead, follow, or GTFO the way to those who just want to cling to this broken system.

Sacrilegious. The best motivator for paying for Windows 11 is continuing to give money to a megalithic, parasitic corporation.

That most "people" on social media are flakes, or looky-loos, NPCs, or just bots shouldn't be news to anyone.

Ah yes, a "better" source, definitely not co-opted by advertisers, government aligned executives, and other interests, but rather truly a newspaper for, and by, the people!

The CCP is a scourge on humanity, predominately in their own country; whereas the US establishment* is also a scourge, but its evils are off-shored. US and China also have powerful propaganda models that control information. Silencing opposition inside of the country is not the way to win a war -- educating people about it and letting them make up their own mind is the only way out of furthering a "censorship industrial complex".

1 - neoliberals, neoconservatives, fundamentalist zionists, other "factions" composing the majority of those who largely want the warfare/welfare state

Too many elections are being influenced by the free exchange of ideas on TikTok -- best to shut it down if the U.S. corrupt government cannot control it. Who cares what the people think!?

You misspelled "hot war".

As much as I want to trust "Kyiv Insider" for being nonpartisan, I unfortunately wasn't born yesterday. How does this low quality propaganda not get flagged as such? Why is this even on HN rather than an in-depth article proving the points against TikTok? This is literally out of the playbook from US Presidental election in 2016 when the Democrats claimed it was Russian interference that caused Trump to win due to Russian bots, and unless there's a thorough explanation (not from a corrupt, biased government), you would have to be a fool to believe the claims of 1M+ TikTok accounts fooling Romanians to vote one way or another. It's an insult against everyone's intelligence, and most especially against the voters themselves.

Personally I will start drizzling soybean oil back onto my French Fries, while I take my quarterly COVID vaccine despite having gotten deathly ill with COVID 5 times, and adding fluoride BACK into my water. Take that, Republicans!

Their bubble revels in sadistic glee at the pain and humiliation of a man that they hate for reasons that they do not understand themselves. Their bubble deserves to be burst.

Yet another thing that does not exist in a sane OS. Oh, if only Bill Gates hadn't done his dirty deeds.

A lot of words to say: taxation is theft.
