Now I expect a bunch of downvotes with no real reply, but is there any proof at all that TikTok poses a security risk?
The US can't just make up accusations without bringing tangible proof.

Looks like the idiot is you, since Google Keep doesn't compare. It's just for notes, you can't attach large files.
Sending messages to yourself is more similar to a free and infinite Cloud Storage than some lame ass note taking app.
My own Telegram has like 70Gb, worth of films.

I mean, stop and think before fucking typing. You just said Twitter is for shitposting, do you have an idea of how stupid that is? 90% of news embed tweets. Every politician thinker and institution talks on Twitter first. The trending hashtags are a gauge for what's going on. At least before Musk bought it.
Just because your boogeyman bought it doesn't mean you gotta lose your cools and wet your panties.

This is an ignorant take as it's the go-to website for institutional messages, politicians, and thinkers.

The fact that you assume that I'm a Musk fan says everything that needs to be said about nuance.
This is the problem with Reddit: you guys can tell good things from bad things in broad strokes, but as soon as someone says something actually nuanced you lose your shit and start othering people.
For example, one might say "This is a good thing, but this is a bad argument for this good thing" and y'all throw a fit and start yelling "Oh so you support bad thing, uh? BAD THING SUPPORTER!". It happens every. fucking. time.
Good enough of a point fro you? Do you see yourself in what I've said? If so, yikes.

This is actually a great idea that I welcome.
The character limit impairs discussion and turns everything into a slap flight.

That's the biggest non-problem ever. Port placement was awkward, probably because they retrofit Bluetooth tech into an old design, but 100 seconds of charge would give you 7 days of use.

Reply to comment by lubits in Microsoft's Windows Subsystem for Linux just hit a major milestone by CrankyBear
I feel that the only barriers for Linux are:
-
Why so many distros? And
-
How do I get this on my machine without risking a panic attack?
At least for your average non-savvy user. Having Linux programs run on Windows removes these barriers, yes, but also removes the hassle of changing OS, which is kinda the only way Linux can survive.
A person out of ten that yesterday would have made the switch now won't do it. And that's one less user for Linux.

Wouldn't this further obstruct Linux potential adoption and bring costumers back to that old monopolistic dinosaur that goes by the name of Windows?
I want Linux to succeed on its own, not to be swallowed up by the worst OS on the market.

I think this will be an Android Subsystem part II.
I mean nice in theory, but pretty useless for the vast majority of people. They should focus on more relevant stuff, like Windows on ARM.
I, as an average person, can't think of a single linux-only app that I would want or need.
