Time for this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video!
In this one, we have the law forcing #TikTok to sell or be banned in the US being passed, we have an article explaining why #Google Search is so much worse these days, we have the release of #Fedora 40 and #Ubuntu 24.04, and #Nvidia contributing to the NVK open source drivers:
@thelinuxEXP I must admit that where I grew up had me surprised by the accurate pronunciation of Arthur Huillet’s name in the Nvidia story, expecting something more along the lines of “Arr*-thurr Hwill-lett.” 😂
*(Like a pirate.)
@thelinuxEXP How interesting it would be, for him to live in France & have a name that at least LOOKS French, and not be French!
(Imagines him walking around with a cash belt, loudly insisting in English that people call him by the aforementioned mangled pronunciation of his name.)
So yeah, I rescind the comment. 🤭
@thelinuxEXP it is too bad we can't follow the chain of information and prove that Google and Facebook and that bird brain guy are selling customer information that is getting back to exactly the same people in China who were behind the Chinese Communist party financing tiktok.
@thelinuxEXP I wonder what will happen if TikTok does get banned. Like you said in the video, it will be too late, elections would have already happened. Also yeah privacy reasons, just because it is Chinese owned currently, it won't make it any more safe/different for us users. Still giving an awful lot of data.
