Olivier Ertzscheid sur #X, #Meta #Tiktok : "Si pendant longtemps les dirigeants de ces entreprises se gardaient bien d’affirmer publiquement et trop explicitement une affirmation ou un attachement politique, la plupart des plateformes généralistes touchant plus d’1 milliard d’utilisateurs et d’utilisatrices, sont dirigées par des patrons devenus militants et se situant soit dans une internationale réactionnaire d’extrême droite, soit dans la survivance totalitaire du mouvement communiste. "
If Trump can seize Chinese companies like Tiktok and sell them to his major donors at a 90% discount, then American companies have no right to cry foul when the EU gets rid of the America First Copyright Directive and lets Europeans choose to get their software, updates, and hardware from European companies.

@pluralistic the naked brutality of the #tiktok divestment affair really exposed European elites as a non-entity, rentier class that simply intermediates foreign interests.
For more than a decade now its clear that digital technology is a cornerstone of society, with massive economic and political implications for every single European and everything we do
Europe will not survive in its postulated form if it doesnt break some digital eggs (which are in any case totally rotten).

Okay, guy‘s! We habe trouble with the #USA. Not only is that country ruled by bullies and faschist. Also the whole US-IT is actually losing it. #Windows 11 uhly as hell. Unsing AI everywhere, still the worst OS when it comes about usability.
Then #MacOS. The latest update is completey creepy. Two different types of windows with different edge radiuses. Unreadable icons. Also AI everywhere possible. In both cases win and mac it feels like someone enteres my house and stole my computer.
Damn it!

I've been busy wrapping up the final parts of Loops ActivityPub federation!
We will ship with two modes (Open and Lockdown), the latter allowing you to restrict federation with allowed instances only (and enforced via AuthorizedFetch)
You can also disable Federation support
I'll have a better ETA this weekend after some more testing ✨
Thanks to phpstan, this may even ship this weekend 🚀

TikTok's algos are 100% going to favor Conservative white national GOP Republican fascist dictator authoritarian types leading up to Mid Terms and beyond.
If you have influence with folks using that platform, you may want to plant some seeds starting now.

Been trying to figure out what these guys are "buying" with this #TikTok deal, and it seems like they're not actually buying anything.
"Oracle will license and oversee the algorithm's retraining on US-only data, stored on American servers... China classifies the algorithm as export-controlled technology, blocking outright sale but allowing licensing..."
So, it seems TikTok will license the algorithm to a new US entity, TikTok US, to be used only on US users. That's it.

Pew - 1 in 5 Americans now regularly get #news on #TikTok, up sharply from 2020.

ByteDance (TikTok owner) valuation is north of $300 billion. Trump "deal" to give it to his oligarch supporters is "valued" at $14 billion, says Vance.
So correct me if this is wrong: They're essentially nationalizing a foreign company and giving it to cronies who'll pay pennies on the dollar.
That is exactly what the #TikTok deal is.
It does nothing to stop Chinese control of their mind-rotting algorithm. It only gives some of the cash to billionaire associates of Trump.
And the line from its American Puppet Master's will be: "You roll your own algo by what you swipe and watch" but we all know that Trump's interest in brokering the sale is that he wants influence over what content gets platformed.
GenZ is so fucked.

> "The deal will allow for these American investors to control the app’s algorithm, Vance said. TikTok's unique algorithm, which curates the type of content users see in their feeds, made the app’s For You page famous for its engagement-driven personalization that democratized virality and transformed online culture.
When asked whether he wants to see the new algorithm suggest more MAGA content, Trump told reporters, “I always like MAGA-related.”
