People Are Saying TikTok’s New Terms And Conditions Are Terrifying — Here’s What You Agreed To Share
"The alarm is a fair reaction," one privacy lawyer said.
"But one of the other most startling lines within the new TikTok terms and conditions is about what TikTok states it can learn about our lives. TikTok states it will collect sensitive user-generated information that your posts and comments might provide. This 'may include...information you disclose in survey responses or in your user content about your racial or ethnic origin, national origin, religious beliefs, mental or physical health diagnosis, sexual life or sexual orientation, status as transgender or nonbinary, citizenship or immigration status, or financial information,' according to the privacy policy."

cURL Gets Rid of Its Bug Bounty Program Over AI Slop Overrun

OpenAI’s co-founder and longtime president, Greg Brockman, didn’t just make a run-of-the-mill donation to the main pro-Trump super PAC — together, he and his wife Anna’s September 2025 donations equaled the largest of them all, totaling $25 million to “MAGA Inc.,” per a recent filing. The Brockmans’ donations made up nearly one-fourth of the six-month fundraising cycle.
It’s the latest in a string of examples of tech executives cozying up to President Trump’s administration, happening as the administration pushes to aggressively back the AI industry and defang state-level regulations that companies like OpenAI have largely opposed. OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment...

This is frustrating because the unnamed people advising that were wrong. It confuses trapping page focus in a modal to blocking users from using the rest of their browser. Also, ugh APG.

Great compilation!
I guess most of those failed not because they were bad, but were really different of what Linux should be, they tried too much to be just like Apple and naturally failed, but I am glad to see that now we are getting much better things like those that are much better and not proprietary!
Probably, my favorite on the list is Unity, however, it also failed due to their other products fail... But I think GNOME is much better nowadays! Unity felt like Windows 8 UI.
