TLDR:

• local companies rushed to meet their demand, including MX TakaTak, Chingari, and Moj
• meta launched reels, YouTube launched shorts

No mention of users in India rushing out to download and install similar Chinese-language apps. 🤔

Go for it. I have my doubts that there is really any mass migration of English language users to an all Chinese website to begin with. The whole thing feels like a propaganda campaign.

There’s also Nextdoor app if you’re looking for local stuff that’s free and for sale. It’s full of old people posting random shit just like Facebook tho.

Get ready for the slippery slope. Anything conservatives don’t want you to see or read will be placed behind an “identify yourself” firewall.

In a way. We’re not all stupid, I promise. Though the billionaires keep trying to make us all ignorant. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hatch or his relatives were heavily invested in the industry at the time. Keep in mind the US isn’t the only country that sells homeopathic bullshit.

It doesn’t help when this crap is legitimized by being sold in actual drug stores like Walgreens.

Because Orrin Hatch pushed the “supplements” act back in the 1990s.

That’s the way homeopathic nonsense is supposed to work. Unfortunately bullshit like this isn’t regulated properly so it often ends up being dangerous.

Studies have also indicated this dye (and others) could cause hyperactivity and similar problems in children.

Hey, remember Vine? I bet Jack Dorsey remembers.

I guess we will see what happens. With Trump and Elon in charge, it’s not like I’d be surprised if that’s their ultimate goal.

That’s probably a good thing. Why on earth should a pdf file be able to do something like this? Just seems like another potential attack surface.

Just buy paper tea bags or loose leaf tea. The article is talking about those stupid nylon “pyramid” tea bags.

Bye bye asshole.

I’d rather drop some of the more modern features like WebGL, WASM, and AI. A lot of this crap needs to be plugins instead of built into the browser.

Facebook/meta should never have been allowed to buy Instagram.

Microsoft recently announced a handheld for Xbox. They’re going to half ass this they way they did with windows phone.
