it's blatant hypocrisy. Tiktok is not exceptional when it comes to social media networks, it's just that they are headquartered in China

This is just compiled jars? not even decompiled bytecode or anything? Can't you get all this stuff just by unzipping an APK file?

Not at all. If you import workers, they might fill a slot for one job, but they are also consumers. They need food, and mattresses and haircuts and everything else it takes to live in America. Immigration helps fill the demand for talented

A common comment I see on Tiktok videos is something like "I've finally made it to [niche interest] tiktok", it's something I've experienced myself when the algorithm started showing me videos from the crew on cargo

Very interesting that they shared some details on their algorithm. In my opinion as an active TikTok viewer, their curation algorithm is really their competitive advantage versus all other social media platforms. TikTok has BY FAR the best

I've also been dealing with rattling and buzzing noises in my airpods pro. Usually (but not always) turning noise cancellation mode off fixes the issue, but that totally defeats the purpose of having the pro model. Not to mention they

In my own, very subjective, experience. It seems more people are "real" on Tik Tok. I just opened up the app, and the second video I saw, was a young woman talking about her Alopecia (an auto-immune disease that causes hair loss).

I'm pretty damn disappointed with the discourse here. What RMS wrote in the MIT mailing list was so reprehensible, that I'm pretty sure the people here defending him must have not read it. So here is the comments he wrote to a maj

This has been the big difference for me of using a Chromebook+Crostini vs installing Linux on a typical PC. The battery life on the chromebook just lasts forever and is buttery smooth out of the box while the laptops with linux installed ha

I use an Android app called Squid[1] for drawing and taking notes on my Pixelbook with the pencil. It is technically an android app, but it's easy to forget that because it just runs so perfectly and it's optimized for tablets and

>As a side note, people like to talk about how capitalism has slashed inequality and lifted people out of poverty. However this is misleading. China alone lifted 700 millions people out of poverty. Those aren't really contradictory

Once you've invested the time into getting familiar with Gimp it's not terribly hard, but it's more effort to learn than paint which is dead simple out of the box. Plus Gimp still takes 20+ seconds to start before it's f

This is true. There are so many high rises being built along the Wilson-Clarendon corridor, and Arlington and Alexandria actually have a big presence of the so-called missing middle of housing development [1]. This location seems like it&#x
