I don't know the veracity of the statements about tiktok, but I do remember a hubbub back in the day about facebook nestling into parts of your phone and not being uninstalled with the app. A quick search later, and it looks like it was because it was a 'default app' on samsung phones. So yeah, for this I definitely want to see the proof of concept and at least some relevant info on tiktok specifically.
wrote last edited by [email protected]can confirm. my samsung phone has a "meta services" system app i had to root to yank out. they apparently had a deal to put that spyware in. i'm also not aware of a similar deal with tiktok.

Former military person, fear mongers about magic evil of TikTok tech mining everything and sending it to the scary Chinese, says that FB does the same but also claims that somehow "we at least can keep tabs on what they're doing with your private data" (lol), while also admitting to still being on FB and using Google's services. Not at all suspicious and incoherent I'd say.
We discovered that the app embedded itself deep in your phone's hardware, granted itself full administrative access to your phone, then started trickling all your data to servers in China
Ok bud, that doesn't sound stupid AF at all. This random military IT sysadmin knows this but all other cyber security experts in the world have somehow missed this crucial bit of info. And for some reason, this info hasn't travelled up the chain through the intelligence agencies. Remarkable.
honestly sounds a bit like right wing slop.

I could make a solid argument for the '60s
And I would love to sit with you and do "research".

My old person trait is being 72.
You! The only person on Lemmy older than me!

When out eating and drinking, my preference is to go and order food and drink at the counter/bar, rather than install some app or give a website all my personal information before I can order.
What? This is a thing at restaurants now?

I don't think AI (aka LLMs) is / are against the natural order, I just think they are a terrible tool for work that requires thinking. And there are a lot of people, including medical professionals, who don't care enough to verify what is presented to them. At least if I use AI generated code, I can test it.
Yeah, I use LLMs all the time for all sorts of things. Like, I'll be working on a diy project and will think "I need a thing, and I know this thing exists, I just don't know what it is called." LLMs are great for that.

never self checkout.. unless 18+ items are involved.
other than that or stealing literally no cashier will care or even remember you.source: am cashier at grocery store
I use self checkout because it is faster and I don't have to interact with a human

Involuntary groans whenever I sit down or stand up.

I'm confused by the fuck/fight portion. Is it normal to want to fuck or fight every person who maintains eye contact? Have I been unknowingly threatening/coming into all of my work colleagues?
There's a difference between respectlfully attentive eye contact (flits to other things occasionally, but refocuses), fighting eye contact (straight staring, tense facial expression), flirting eye contact (flits between eyes and lips, soft facial expression), and autistic eye contact (direct and unwavering eye contact that drills into your soul for seemingly no reason).
Most likely, everyone just knows (at least implicitly) that you are autistic.

70+ and mine is playing world of warcraft.

I have never purchased a smartphone and don't want one. I still prefer to use a flip phone. Their quality has improved over the years so I haven't been forced to switch yet.

I primarily write in cursive.
Yes, me too. Cursive is easier and faster to write. Though I usually print the capital letters.

At 39, this is becoming more and more accurate to me as time goes on. I remember telling some kid trying to pitch me TikTok when it first came out: "They brought back Vines?"
I remember giving TikTok a go and getting frustrated because it kept showing me stupid videos of kids dancing and I couldn't find a way of searching for specific topics and I ended up rage-uninstalling it.
After I calmed down it dawned on me that the "stupid kids" dancing were actually around 18-20 years old and I couldn't find what I wanted because I didn't understand the UI.

I try like hell to avoid shopping at peak times. Before Covid, I could shop at 2am, but now I'm one of the oldsters waiting for the place to open at 7 or 8am.
I also like Antiques Roadshow, but only the American version. I don't give two shits about your mums tea set that was signed by the Queen's dog-wrangler that you paid 50 quid for that's now worth 200 pounds.

Electric scale because it's more accurate. Wooden utensils yes agreed, plastic from utensils does break down in your food especially while cooking, high temps. Electric stoves are a lot healthier than gas, for yourself in the kitchen and for the environment/climate. Electric stoves got soooo much better in the last 15 years. Other than nostalgia, I don't see a reason to prefer gas nowadays. Glass for storage is the best, agreed.
An electric kitchen scale is such a game-changer. If you convert ingredient volume into weight and something ends up being a fraction of a gram, especially when reducing a recipe, no big deal.

I love shoehorns and sneeze loudly.
