From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes, the irony is certainly in great supply...
sigh
I mean, Tiktok has entire genres based around not using Tiktok, around lowering the level of engagement and use that you have with social media and just digital things generally.
They make and post videos on Tiktok, about not using Tiktok.
Its essentially perfectly absurd.
Tiktok is basically the 'how much money would someone have to pay you to kill someone' moral hypothetical, writ large.
The answer is that, with sufficient operant conditioning, human morality and logic is worth a few bucks a month, on average.
Gotta get them updoots, dopamine!
Haha gotta laugh at it imo, lest I go insane!
