Good. Tiktok is a threat to humanity’s survival, or at least an extremely potent gateway drug to it.

Nah I am just totally apathetic to the whole thing. I don't live there, it's not my war, it doesn't belong to me in any kind of context. Same is true for 99% of the corps out there. They should focus on giving their employees

Its exactly that. I recall there are receptors in your stomach lining which detect the presence of sugar even when its not obviously tasteable, such as in predominantly salty fast foods and so. This is a sneaky way to make you addicted whil

100% spot on. What I gathered from the review was that the tech itself is really cool but usability was bad (faster to pull out your phone, take a pic and google it vs the image recognition, battery life of 2-4 hrs, etc.) I also found the r

I sort of agree, I think we should collectively raise the level of paranoia slight, by some tens of percentages, to remove a lot of negative outcomes - but I wouldn't expect off-hand hobby devs to even remotely apply the same level of
