Douyin is the localised version of Tiktok. So, the content is totally different. similar to Steam China and Steam International.

The problem is many people still rely on X for live news such as sport news, disaster news (earthquake news), war news (Gaza/Ukraine). But, with this change this is getting really bad lately for this platform.

Well, weak yen looks pretty bad for future prospects.

Oops. Yeah I just noticed that. Well, Mastodon users can use bridgy to this bluesky account to get latest feeds

yeah they can drop a pinned message on X for leaving and mentioned their next platform. But, I don’t think Elon will Happy about that

They have bluesky account as well https://bsky.app/profile/ecdc-eu.bsky.social, threads https://www.threads.net/@ecdc.eu and mastodon https://mastodon.social/@ECDC_EU@respublicae.eu But, the mastodon and threads seems abandoned.

normies want easy starter pack with one click or tap like this

ads are not allowed on Bluesky. that is the reason.

That is why Mastodon is hard to get mainstream because not everyone wants extra effort to do this. Even, Twitter, threads and bluesky much better to filter their language content

I already toggle the Mastodon settings to ensure that I got the feeds to the language I want (I want English only) and I still got feeds on different languages such as German and French

Language filter in bluesky is much better than Mastodon as well

tbh Bluesky also a nice alternative as well.

if your work requires CUDA then nvidia is the only option

if your work involving CUDA then nvidia is the only option.

Yeah, biometric identification will be de-facto standard for travelling in the future and we cannot avoid it unless we want to stop travelling.

I am not said I am fine with it. But, if you don’t want to comply with their requirement. you can’t enter their country and I am sure this kind of paperless and biometric immigration check will come to many countries (UK, USA, Japan, Canada already tested it) and it is inevitable. the only workaround atm is just don’t travel abroad.

I think this kind of biometric immigration verification will come to many countries eventually. Like UK, Japan and USA already tested this kind of procedure and Singapore is just one step ahead with this full implementation. So, we just can’t avoid it. If this kind of verification concerns you a lot just don’t travel abroad.

I was there on transit hall couple of months ago and on the arrival hall everything is paperless already and all the paperwork can be done via phone or tablet. EDIT: as long as your device have a proper modern web browser. everything can be done easily.

then you don’t need to come to Singapore. their country their rules
