If you as a content creator have a choice between a platform with 3 billion people (US and India included), like Shorts and Instagram Reels, and one without (TikTok), where would you post?

This is a clear disadvantage given to tiktok only to protect its own companies cause if US actually cared about data and mental health, homegrown Tech companies would also face repercussions.

LETS NOT FORGET, China can VERY EASILY buy most of the data it needs from the open market which many US companies, including Big Tech contribute to.

This has done nothing for citizens. Only protected innovation less US companies.

Good riddance? Not really cause US still has clones of tiktok present like reels and shorts.

Nothing will change. Data will still be collected. China can easily buy data from the open market. Mental health will still be affected.

In fact, due to lack of competition, things will only get worse.

US and India are 2 moronic countries

Hi I made a Lemmy account specifically to save posts for future view.

To support the OPs, I opted to like instead of saving them as doing both is not ideal as I don't like to save every post, only some important ones.

But to my surprise, there is no way of viewing posts you liked/upvoted. Only saved posts appear in your profile.

This is in stark contrast to Reddit and even Mastodon which show both. I wonder if such a feature is in the pipeline or some way which exists to view them.

The best alternative is to just have lists support in Saved Posts like Instagram or Pinterest has.

Can any third party Lemmy clients do this? To be clear- I'd like to view posts I upvoted retrospectively and not from now on or something.

This is not a new request. I made this post to ask for things other requesters have not mentioned such as third party clients and comparision to Mastodon and Pinterest.

I thought this meant the writer is forgoing Amazon as a service completely.

Cause that would be something worth reading. Not these first world problems ffs

So by that you mean that is some hugeass soldier riding his humongous horse.

One of their steps scaling an entire country or something?

That's easy.

You are privacy conscious in those unnecessarily rich parties you got invited to by mistake.

You are poor for your homies and family.

just like Apple, limited models and limited parts. It will probably take till 2030 or something before it comes even close to being available "globally".

The phones are designed to be be hard to repair. So it is obvious most people won't be doing this themselves. Which was the dream.

You should spread awareness on why he is a jerk instead of just trying to supress his existence as a whole.

That will help people to get the complete picture instead of just "oh dont use this picture". That's how information works.

Believe it or not, there are still many people who dont know, thus don't care about him or his thoughts. And you writing something instead of all this would have helped your cause more.

Just because the guy in memes is a jerk doesnt mean we cant laugh at memes.

There are literal Hitler memes on the internet.

Do you think people who put Satan in their memes want to really go to hell or something?

It had today's tiktok crowd. It was a huge hit. The only reason it failed is because of monetisation.

Only reason YouTube is popular. No competitor can match it in those terms.

Saying Vine was ahead of its time is like saying Digg or MySpace was ahead of its time. No it was at the precipice and just horribly failed to manage its growth and responding to competitors

That's not so much a Linux problem as a Corporate greed problem.

Remember a big part in Windows mobile dying was its lack of Google support and not it itself lacking in any way

[-] hughesdikus@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 months ago

I can agree Linux is not intuitive.

I won't agree Windows is intuitive. Its just not.

My argument? 2 settings panels for more than a decade now.

That's it

[-] hughesdikus@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

The only thing Linux needs is proper hardware marketed well globally.

Linux needs to position itself to a market just like how ChromeOS did.

That is just not what linux is doing.

Convincing any one particular entity to do anything won't mean luls for Linux market share, so much it will only make the lives of existing users more convenient
