One is a closed source app with ties to the Chinese Communist Party/Government that requires you to disable security protections to fully work whereas the other one is an open source security protection that tries to keep us safe from nefarious actors.
It also doesn't help that TikTok uses different algorithms for different countries and peoples and the one used for Americans and western society pushes content to intentionally divide and anger Americans.
TikTok is literally the Communist Party Propaganda Machine.

Unlike her, there is absolutely nothing my government unrighteously restricts/deprives me of, or anyone I know for that matter. If anything, it ought to be more restricting since the wealthy can kinda do whatever they want. My point is: I live a great life at nobody's expense but my own, and there is nothing morally sound I wish was available to me.

Thank you Putin for protecting an American patriot

So how do someone not aware of the existence of SELinux suddenly know to look at that particular log file locating in that obscure place? Please enlighten everyone here. If you want to defend SELinux, you may suggest some killer feature that other modules such as AppArmor can't. But when someone said "I didn't know my problem is due to SELinux thus lost a day of time", response such as "you should have gone take a look at a log file that only SELinux users will watch out for" is NOT an answer.

The first three hits in Google.
The only people who have troubles with SeLinux seem to be the people who don't want any of SeLinux. As simple as that.Last edited by avis; 30 August 2023, 02:43 PM.

Seriously, it's not that hard to have a great life and be a good citizen at the same time.

Don't break the law and you've got nothing to worry about. Seriously, it's not that hard to have a great life and be a good citizen at the same time. That's what gets me to question people like you: the only reason you care is because you're probably doing something morally objectionable.
Someone else already point out in the other thread why "it's not that hard" living "a great life" as "a good citizen" requires a moral, ethical and honest government, and how it can be abused. Sometimes before someone has even realised.
Examine the way whistleblowers and journalists are treated in many countries (even the supposedly "enlightened" West). Observe the way ethnic or religious minorities are treated in others.
Read some history.
Seriously, read some history.
But you have things to hide. Or do you make your full name, address, social security, bank details, accounts and passwords freely accessible to anyone who asks?
Politicians, who make the laws clearly have lots to hide. How does someone on a low six figure salary become a multi-millionaire in a decade?

Originally posted by andyprough View PostSeems fair for billyswong to point out that for the vast majority of people in the world, yes, it is that hard.
When was the last time you tried blowing the whistle on government corruption as a federal agency insider? You should talk to a whistleblower and hear about the hell they go through. How about Edward Snowden? Have you seen him giving live in-person talks at American conferences on ethics and technology lately? How much has our government respected his rights to blow the whistle on blatant NSA corruption?Last edited by schmidtbag; 31 August 2023, 09:13 AM.
