I thought you might also enjoy its German name: Quecksilberdampfgleichrichter

Every social media platform with a feed uses some system to rank content for its individual users. This can be abused to subtly influence users.

You say TikTok has never harmed you but the truth is you probably wouldn't know. You just changed your mind about certain things over time.

That problem is certainly not specific to TikTok and I personally avoid also YouTube, Reddit or anything Facebook but it's not hard to believe that a Chinese or Russian platform is even less hesitant to influence elections, for example.

Weirdo. That's how I mark my property.

It's 6.2 GHz and they set the voltage to 1.85 V. Both is stated in the article. You must have missed it.

Shitty for us dungeon dwellers. We don't go outside but coffee stains are a real threat.

That feels like the Reddit of old - extreme niche memes but proper context in the comments. That's how you learn nowadays!

I hate that. Also in a business setting. By definition a message (be it text, email, whatever) is not urgent. They might be important and of course you shouldn't leave them unread for days, but for urgency there's calls.

It's so funny that the socialist rethoric doesn't even crumble here when talking about big tech. Who are Microsoft's poor exploited workers exactly? Last I checked, developers in big tech make bank. It's the customers that get fucked.

Just because software vendors legally made it that way doesn't make it right. Also probably the main reason, many people don't have any qualms pirating.

if you were spoon-fed a certain religion as a child

And if you weren't? Probably hard to believe for most Americans but atheism isn't an invention of the current generations.

can you give me a like, more clear practical example of a good use of blockchain?

Do you see how all the answers are generic, tend to be long and read like a sales pitch? That's because the actual answer is: no, there is no practical legal application that isn't better solved with conventional tech.

The only application that is successfully used in practice is paying for organized crime: buying goods and services on the dark web and paying for extortion like ransomware attacks.
