This reminds me of Kung Fury, which has a very 80’s/90’s aesthetic. They tried a variety of ways to filter the final movie to give it the right feel for the time period. Finally, unsatisfied with digital methods, they ended up running it through an actual VCR.

Yeah I love both of those things. Often at the same time!

Tictok shutdown for a week or however long it was. Then we see it’s CEO sitting alongside Trump, Zuck and the rest of the oligarchs at the inauguration. Shortly after, the service goes live again followed by user complaints about their feeds being different.

It’s not confirmed but the theory is that tictok is now feeding data to meta, or even running off their servers entirely, so that the US government has easy access to everything.

Go down to Florida. They’re everywhere!

Tik tok submitted to the US government (probably for a massive bribe) so it’s here to stay so long as people keep using it.

Good! That shit needs to be phased out.

Not that it makes it any better, but that just seems like typical business practices. Almost everything we watch in America is an advertisement.

It’s a blow why exactly? They were losing nothing before and they are losing nothing now. Aside from the ability to extract money from people…

DJI even removed the geofences with a firmware update like three days before the in auguration. I have no idea how we’re still in this clown world either.

I will learn how to build my own refrigerator before submitting to this IoT bullshit.

I’ve got a brother printer as well and it was the only driver I had to hunt down and install. Everything else has worked out of the box (Mint).

So the person that was maintaining the old android version is focusing on maintaining lemmy.

Yes! But since I’m in the US, I’ll have access to none of it.

1 That’s a significant age gap at that age. 2 The idea is fine but the execution is shitty.

I read months ago that Amazon was stepping into the game but I haven’t heard anything since then.

You keep putting words in my mouth so this conversation is over.

Why are people giving any Meta app Location Permissions? …or even installing that shit to begin with?

If you think I’m trying to say the US is better… by any measure LOL! -No. The US is a shithole.

My point is that if you take guns out of the equation they’ll just be replaced by something else.

Wasn’t intended to be. But evil people will find a way to do evil.

Yeah, they use knives instead.
