A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Only use it via browser and wasn't even aware of such feature nor do I care. These short videos are a rabbit hole I don't want to explore because there's no coming back
I've used them several times. Every time I get 3-4 videos deep and get pissed off because it lacks basic functionality, there's zero curation so it's just a stream of shit, the content is shit because they try to cram it into a vertical video, a format that makes zero sense, and I come away from every video thinking "WTF did I just watch?"
Seriously this segment of entertainment truly befuddles me.
yeah I downloaded tiktok to see what the deal was
I am immediately bombarded with some stupid auto play video I didn’t ask for, so I swipe it away
which just sends me another stupid video in an endless stream of garbage
I’ll never understand this type of social media, it truly felt like idiocracy
