Inside the TikTok documents: Stripping teens and boosting ‘attractive’ people
cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/20807329
People work inside the TikTok Inc. building in Culver City, Calif., Monday, March 11, 2024. House Republicans are moving ahead with a bill that would require Chinese company ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a ban in the United States even as President Donald Trump is voicing opposition to the effort.
“These unredacted documents prove that TikTok knows exactly what it’s doing to our kids – and the rot goes all the way to the top,” the group wrote on X.
Ironic.

I think Oranges were named before Carrots.
What are these?
They're orange....oranges
What about these?
Oh shit....long pointys?
Love Demetri Martin.
But the real story is weirder: the color is named after the fruit. Prior to the 16th century it was "yellow-red".
Also carrots were not commonly orange when oranges arrived in Europe. The carrots we're used to were hybridized from the earlier yellow, red, and purple varieties in the late 18th century.

The word ultimately derives from a Dravidian language – possibly Tamil நாரம் nāram or Telugu నారింజ nāriṃja or Malayalam നാരങ്ങ nāraŋŋa — via Sanskrit नारङ्ग nāraṅgaḥ "orange tree". From there the word entered Persian نارنگ nārang and then Arabic نارنج nāranj. The initial n was lost through rebracketing in Italian and French, though some varieties of Arabic lost the n earlier.The word "orange" entered Middle English from Old French and Anglo-Norman orenge. The earliest recorded use of the word in English is from the 13th century and referred to the fruit.

Funny story, what we call pine cones today used to be called pineapples. When the term pine cone took over, it left behind the fruit we still call a pineapple.
Also, bananas have been called "long apples" and eggplants "love apples." Basically "apple" was a descriptor meaning "fruit."
Meanwhile, in France:
"What's the roundish thing we eat a lot?"
"Apples?"
"No, the one that grows underground."
"Dirt apples?"

iirc an "apple" in both French and English used to just be any fruit. And over time it shifted to mean just the most common one
and you know the french, always very poetic, of course they'll call a potato a fruit of dirt
This sent me to Wikipedia for kiwifruit, where I read the Chinese characters translate as "macaque peach," but I don't know if that means "peach-ish fruit macaques like to eat" or "peach-ish fruit with fur like a macaque."
I think we can skip the " Chinese gooseberry" interval.
I assume the Kiwi who rebranded them as "kiwifruit" 🥝 intended both "from New Zealand" and "sorta looks like a kiwi bird."

'''WineGUI''' is a [[graphical frontend]] for the [[Wine (software)|Wine]] software [[compatibility layer]] which allows [[Linux]] users to install [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]-based Software as well as [[video games]] for [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]].
WineGUI can be used under [[Linux]] operating systems; deb, rpm and tar prebuild packages are provided.<ref>{{cite web

==Internals==
WineGUI is fully developed using the [[C++]] programming language and [[Gtkmm]] ([[GTK]] C++ wrapper) GUI-toolkit.
In some cases WineGUI rely on [[Winetricks]] to configure the Wine bottles. The latest Winetricks release will be retrieved automatically.
Each "Windows Machine" in WineGUI has it's own Wine bottle (thus a different WINEPREFIX).
WineGUI is very responsive, due the fact that bottle (re)configurations are done in a multi-threaded manner. Also the GTK GUI natively integrates into most common [[Linux distributions]], matching the user's theme preferences.
Currently, WineGUI is relying on the Wine version that is installed on the host machine. However there are plans to support other Wine versions as well as other various Wine forks<ref>{{cite web

wine-ge/umu-launcher -> bottles -> OpenGamepadUI
(I'm not very sure what umu launcher should do and if it replaces wine-ge)
You can already use umu with Lutris. If you choose any version of Proton as your wine runner, Lutris will automatically use Proton. One pretty major drawback is that Lutris won't allow you to use winetricks, as umu didn't add support for it until after the last Lutris release. Heroic supports it as well.
I haven't seen the Bottles devs give any info about when they might implement. I'm thinking it might not be until Bottles Next.
Does anyone here use crossovers software? (It's like a software to get some windows apps running on linux and mac and its paid)
I have yet to have any success with Bottles but I assume it's because I don't know what I'm doing and I'm trying with software known to be difficult.
I remote into a Windows PC for Fusion 360 and Affinity suite but if I could get those working on Linux I'd be in really good shape.
Fusion used to work but autodesk changed the redirects in their login system, so it no longer does...
Tragic. Especially since there's no reason Fusion couldn't be a webapp or PWA, autodesk already made it annoyingly cloud-focused.

Alternative to syncthing for large music collection?
Over the years I have accumulated a sizable music library (mostly flacs, adding up to a bit less than 1TB) that I now want to reorganize (ie. gradually process with Musicbrainz Picard).
Since the music lives in my NAS, flacs are relatively big and my network speed is 1GB, I insalled on my computer a hdd I had laying around and replicated the whole library there; the idea being to work on local files and the sync them to the NAS.
I setup Syncthing for replication and... everything works, in theory.
In practice, Syncthing loves to rescan the whole library (given how long it takes, it must be reading all the data and computing checksums rather than just scanning the filesystem metadata - why on earth?) and that means my under-powered NAS (Celeron N3150) does nothing but rescanning the same files over and over.
Syncthing by default rescans directories every hour (again, why on earth?), but it still seem to rescan a whole lot even after I have set rescanIntervalS to 90 days (maybe it rescans once regardless when restarted?).
Anyway, I am looking into alternatives.
Are there any you would recommend? (FOSS please)
Notes:
- I know I could just schedule a periodic rsync from my PC to the NAS, but I would prefer a bidirectional solution if possible (rsync is gonna be the last resort)
- I read about unison, but I also read that it's not great with big jobs and that it too scans a lot
- The disks on my NAS go to sleep after 10 minutes idle time and if possible I would prefer not waking them up all the time (which would most probably happen if I scheduled a periodic rsync job - the NAS has RAM to spare, but there's no guarantee it'll keep in cache all the data rsync needs)

Yes, Syncthing does watch for file changes... that's why I am so puzzled that it also does full rescans :)
Maybe they do that to catch changes that may have been made while syncthing was not running... it may make sense on mobies, where the OS like to kill processes willy-nilly, but IMHO not on a "real" computer

Because they're not so foolish as to believe that inotify is infallible and complete.
Nothing wrong with rsync, it's still kinda the shit. Short script, will do everything
git-annex.branchable.com/ this thing extends git to handling lots of big files. Probably a solid choice, haven't tried, but it claims to do exactly what you need, and even has ui and partial sync
The use case sounds exactly like git-annex.
As a bonus you get a system that tracks how many copies of files and where you have them.
I use Nextcloud to sync a huge music collection and it works great - I was kinda surprised
I run it on an underpowered NUC and it behaves beautifully
Never heard of it.... OMG that must be the worst name for a backup solution! :D
It reeks of abandoned software (last release is 0.50 from 2018), but there is recent activity in git, so... IDK
I wouldn't consider it a backup solution, I use Timeshift for that.
It's more of a file syncing software like Syncthing.
I have it set up to one way sync certain folders on my computer to an external USB HDD that I can disconnect and take with me if I have to evacuate.
"Unreliable Backup" is probably the worse.
Wait, I have a better name. Duplicati!
I have a very similar setup to yours, a relatively large music library around 1.7TB of mostly flac files on my server. I'm able to organize these files locally from my laptop, which at various times has run either OSX, various GNU/Linuxes, or Windows. However I do not bother pushing the files themselves back and forth over the network.
Even if I did, I wouldn't automate the syncing, I'd only run it manually after I'd done my organizing with Picard for that day. After all, it the organization with Picard isn't automated, why should the syncing be? I'd probably use rsync for this.
In actual practice I do this: Connect to my server from my laptop using ssh, forwarding X. Run Picard on the actual server through this remote connection. Picard runs just fine over ssh. Opening a browser from a Picard tag for occasional Musicbrainz.org stuff is a little slower but works. I would then use a tmux or screen session to run the rsync command when I'm done with Picard for the day for syncing to a backup if necessary.
I don't really bother keeping a whole copy of my music collection locally on my laptop or phone though, since It's been bigger than is practical for a long time. Managing multiple libraries and keeping the two in sync turned into such a hassle that I was spending more time organizing than actually listening (or making mixtapes/playlists). To listen to my music locally I've used either Plex or Jellyfin, sometimes MPD (like when my server was directly connected to my stereo receiver), or just shared the folder via samba and NFS.
The main difference is probably that I have a desktop PC rather than a laptop (plus, a few old hard disks lying around).
I think I'll keep the local replica even when I'm finished reorganizing the library: the local copy doubles as a backup and I must say I am enjoying the faster access times.
You are correct that a reboot will trigger a full rescan. I'm always on the lookout for better sync. I just don't think it's out there right now for easy bidirectional sync.
Basically, if you want to set and forget, Syncthing is the best option. If you want more control, you'll need to look into setting up rsync scripts or similar, which will at least better let you control how often to sync.
Ad others have said, nextcloud won't rescan or reindex on a reboot. no idea why sync thing does, and surely there must be some way to disable that, too. I'm still hesitant to recommend NC as it's somewhat fragile, needs way more babying than I'm willing to keep up with and just does too many things, none of them anywhere close to "well". File sync on real computers works solidly if you have a reliable connection (don't get me started on Android).
Have you considered using a real media-hoster, like Jellyfin (or like a dozen others)? Jellyfin works fine for music (the are other music-only solutions though). There are plenty of clients that can stream, and have offline support (download a subset/albums/playlists) for things like laptops, phones, ... The server can usually transcode audio formats that a client can't play, in real-time, if needed.
Edit: I realize I wasn't clear as to what this means in practice. You essentially get a self-hosted Spotify. Your library, run from your server, optionally you can connect to it from anywhere.

Judging how "easy" someone might have it based solely on age is a ridiculous thing to do.
Mental illness and or abusive parents or siblings (E: or as someone else mentioned: grief) don't suddenly stop existing when you're on holiday, if anything, being away from your own safe space and comfort zone, and in a strange place you don't know surrounded by people you might not even be able to speak to, never mind ask for help, and your abusers potentially feeling more free than they would at home, can make everything significantly worse.
There's plenty of shit to criticise in the world we live in, emo kids reaaaaly shouldn't be one of them.
Are emo bands still a thing? That seems so two-decades-ago.
What are the kids into now?
I’d say Midwest emo is kinda a fusion of pop punk, emo and a garage band and that’s pretty popular right now

I just wish I had the desire to make friends or keep them. Every step we take in this world requires other people, and yet the most exhausting thing in this world to me is company. I can’t have a career of any kind because the whole idea of doing a social dance makes me want to vomit. It just isn’t in me.
I’m not depressed, at least I don’t think I am. I don’t really feel sad.
I always wanted to be a musician and I recorded a lot of songs when I was younger. I got pretty good at it even, and then I just stopped one day because I stopped feeling sad. I never shared any of it really. I still play, I just don’t take it seriously or write any more. I want to, because I put so much of myself into it. When I listen to a record I love, all I can do after is dream about making something that someone would love that much, but even if I did I’d never put it out there.
I don’t even know why I typed this out. Your comment just opened me up I guess.
Fuck it. Here’s one of those songs I wrote a thousand years ago.
mega.nz/file/c0lkyZiT#MrSCD8ZC…
There, now I’ve shared one.
I'm not depressed, at least I don’t think I am. I don’t really feel sad.
Society equating depression with sadness is a great disservice to the condition. It's quite common for it to present as just ... nothing. An emotional void where you might expect emotions to be. Things that would be expected to make you happy just don't. Things that would make you sad, the same. Your feelings are depressed in the sense that their impact is just muted across the board.
A lack of motivation is also a very common indicator. You're just missing the drive to do something because the emotional rewards that you expect to happen when you accomplish your goals just aren't there.
"I’m not depressed, at least I don’t think I am. I don’t really feel sad."
Definitely sounds familiar to my experience a couple years before my depression diagnosis. I'm not saying that I think you're depressed, it definitely manifests differently from person to person. For me it feels like a really heavy blanket draped over my mind that holds me down from doing the things I want to, but I am very comfortable underneath that blanket.
Im going to check out your song when I have time later today. I hope you continue making music, we all need something to put ourselves into.
Edit: I just listened to the song, super heart felt and full of emotion. You've gotta make time to do more of that.
Thank you for listening to it, and definitely thank you for adding it to your library.
That’s actually how I heard of Elliott Smith. I put a couple songs on mp3.com when I was a teenager and several people compared me to him. I listened and I’ve been hooked since. It’s funny, because after I listened to him his influence poured into everything I did after.
Seriously thank you for listening. For fun, here’s one of my favorites that I ever did. Hope you like it too. I was probably 22 when I did this one.

And now I’ve shared two. :)
It seems it is a product of modern western style culture. Move away from family for independence, spend best days of life slogging away to live paycheck to paycheck.
I worked with a few filipinos that immigrates to Canada. While the believe Canada is a good place to live, they mention the lonely culture here. They said in the Phillapines every weekend, or sometines day, was a party with friends or family. They always made up a party to celebrate something.
I think we have forgotten that communty village living is what humans evovled to, and yearn.
Another Filipino said canada is great, but everything needs money. Housing is expensive, food is expensive, cars, and all the bills. He said back home we live more simple, no need for a heating bill because of climate, no need for a water bill. If I want water I drill a hole in the ground. So life is about living not earning
I was married to a milionair for 4 years. His family was INSANE. Movie style milionairs. I had anithing and everything I wanted, best clothes, personal trainner, home gym, personal chef, a driver and would travel the world, but I almost killed myself twice. There is only so much shoping you can do before it stops being at all fun.
I left him (and his fucked up family)and got myself a psychiatrist that put me on great meds. I got nothing from him, I didn't wan't to have to deal with them at all. I'm now indeed fat, poor, have to.work to pay bills, old and single but I have never been so happy.
I grew up and learned that we were poorMoney talks
But it never tells you love is more important
That said, I'd probably be happier if I wasn't living in a basement with a single window.

Yeah that describes me pretty well, but I’m not bummed. I mean, not really.
I don’t know. I could use therapy, but I must not have been honest enough because through my drug rehab program I was in therapy and they decided that I didn’t need it any more. They said that if I felt like I did, I could tell them, but I always want to just grab my meds, joke with the doctor, and get out of there.
I don’t know. If I am depressed I’m surviving. I wasn’t surviving before. I was just paralyzed and waiting for death. I felt like a living thing though without having to think about it, but I didn’t want to be a living thing. Now I do, and my life is objectively a mess but I’m doing better than I ever have, so it’s hard to say I’m depressed when I’m doing better than ever.
Life is a challenge, and that sucks because so far for me, it has flown by.
