I think Facebook did a study that making options opt-in means only a tiny tiny percentage of users will ever activate them. People never look around in settings. I suppose if - after you click away the popup that says "Thank you for lo

How much of the price can be attributed to "Steve Jobs coveted after this lamp"? Obviously celebrity endorsements is nothing new, but "coveting" seems new to me. Imagine if it's Trump, Musk or your favorite dickhead

Maybe TikTok is controlled by people who are close to CCP leadership... oh that's bad, so now the US government wants to force its sale so it's controlled by people like Larry Ellison, known to be close to Trump. Wowwww, what a wo

That's easy. All of your sentences in the original post sound insanely misinformed and wrong. I suppose now that I've made an assertion it's my duty to post links to articles disproving you? The rule is, you're the first

Photo apps on phones (can you still call them cameras?) already have a lot of "AI" to enhance photos and videos taken. Some of it is technological necessity, since you're capturing something through a tiny hole, a lot of it i

I don't know if TikTok is algorithmically pushing anti-Israel content/genocide-witnessing content. Although if you told me Zuck and Musk were suppressing genocide-witnessing content I'd buy it. Of course it's opportunist
