Thank you. That's why I read the comments first. Considering tiktok is banned in india, it would have been surprising if they had anything but a skeletan crew to wind down their operation in india.
One is industrial strength endless stream of mindless shortform entertainment that some of the best ML engineers work tirelessly to make more addicting.
The other is a software and startup page that’s basically from the 90s that gets new content roughly about once a day.
I think it's clear(from research) that problematic social media use (defined as preoccupation and compulsion to excessively engage in social media platforms despite negative consequences) is bad for you mental health, but calling it an addiction feels like a stretch. It also isn't clear that it's much worse than staring at reality tv all day. I also seems like rates of problematic use among adolescents is in the low single digits basically everywhere that people use social media. Given the prevalence of social media use, it's not all that catastrophic that some 4% of users are over doing it. Americans at least seem to be more likely to drink excessively than have problematic relationships with social media.
HN has noprocrast, but otherwise yeah, same as. Only thing is that at the end, your rotted brain can now talk about Google discontinuing products, Apple CSAM, and Amazon inventory commingling. You will also be unable to dance.
Fwiw, I sometimes use TikTok and none of my content is dancing, it's mostly food, pop science and people doing epoxy art. I know there's TikTok dances but they never appear in my feed.
Also fwiw, for healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or a bit over 10 mins a day, and dancing, especially with other people, is a fun way of getting those 10 mins in.
Loaction information from sim card is checked after installing apk of TikTok. And if location found to be banned country like India , then installed app itself will not work.

Mindless seems to be an opinion. What’s mindless about it?

No more banning. D'you understand?! Even... and I want to make this absolutely clear... even if they do say Jehovah!
All in all, about as decent as one can expect a company to treat you.
ESNI is dead. ECH is taking its sweet time.
The manual process of just installing the APK.
