Schizo*

Short for schizophrenic

Rooting against TikTok for breaching privacy is fine and all but if we wanna talk about social media that needs to be banned then let’s talk about Meta and Google. It’s painfully obvious that the only reason TikTok came under fire is that it was a threat to American social media companies and they couldn’t compete so instead they regulate.

I really don’t care about what TT does with my data, and I’ve been called a “privacy schizo” by people at work. I’ll mail every bit of my data to Xi Jinping personally before I ever install any apps made by Meta.

What the gen X trash

She’s right it’s timeless comedy

I use it regularly because it is so far the best free privacy respecting search. But holy shit the lack of features (can’t even do boolean search) is insane

No it says “buy hamburger” as in hamburger meat. Ground beef.

Thats a lot of mental gymnastics to justify a massive overhaul of a system which would open up a whole slate of security issues. I get it, I used to believe strongly in blockchain but so far it seems to be a solution looking desperately for a problem to solve. You cannot “tech” your way out of societal issue.

You don’t fight fascism by accepting that it’s already here and opening the door further.

If you read a modern bible translation from the perspective of christian mythology just as we treat Greek mythology a lot of the stories are actually fantastic reads

Algorithms To Live By, applying computer science and mathematic principles to real life. Helping make better decisions that are provably more efficient. Really interesting and anyone who has any interest in computing can get a lot from the book.

It’s compelling enough that the youtube comments are full of people being actively compelled 85 years later

The general argument as I understand it is that a random man can do a whole lot worse than kill them, bears are a more straightforward threat.

For TV and Movies I use Trakt it works great and there are plenty of integrations with my media center.

PodcastGuru works well for me

I use 5 and I noticed it was hit or miss so I just said fuck it and enabled all of the available lists lol haven’t seen an ad since

Evem on the youtube site with just sponsorblock and strict UBlockOrigin the comments don’t work

I generally try to avoid direct links or names to protect the app staying up. But if you look for a telegram related to tiktok and a cloud that should point you in the right direction.

I’m not surprised by the downvotes on the original comment, it’s a vestige of former redditors who have an attitude that all social media is garbage. I value my digital privacy quite highly and I know how to protect it. I’m confident that a Singaporean company, ByteDance, is much better for data protection than handing it all over to the Zuck.

Unpopular here, but yes, every day. I’ve been on it since 2019 and my wife and I will cuddle and watch tiktoks that we’ve sent each other throughout the day. We call it “TikTokTime” and really it’s just a debrief period after work where we have time to look at the funnies together and decompress.

I also value tiktok as a social media website independent from influence by the US government that is more privacy-respecting than Instagram or YouTube. I use a modified version of the app that I don’t get shown ads or tiktok shop videos, as well as natively increasing watch speed.

I am also autistic, as is my wife. She’s also chronically ill. It’s nice that we found online communities of creators who go through the same stuff we do. And when it comes to misinformation, I am very liberal with the block button. The tiktok algo is unmatched by other social media companies.

Whats your non-standard phone?

Often it means that but in this case it means “Point Of Sale”

Why exactly would you want markdown from terminal?
