Wait a damn minute....
Everyone on Tik Tok is headed to Red Note in China, yeah?
Umm... what about that Great Firewall of China?
I thought their internet was seperated from our internet.
If people are just connecting to an app in China, and positing videos there... Then this was a lie too!

Why bother exposing a battery entity then? At the very low price I paid for the remote, I wouldn't have batted an eye at it not sensing it's battery level. I don't think anyone knowledgable enough to use it would.
It seems weird to go through the trouble to make it send a battery level entity that sends a fake value. I have other super cheapies that don't expose a battery level.

I love super cheap zigbee devices!
Many times, they work just fine for my use case, and in other situations - they at least let me try an idea before putting down a little extra to get a high enough quality button or sensor.

Fascinating.
One of my Zigbee devices, a cheap 4 button remote, stopped working. It's clearly the battery. I got a new battery for it, it works again. Dead battery is confirmed the issue it had.
But I don't remember getting notified. So I looked in HA at it's battery entity, looked at it's history... 100% from the day I put it in till the remote went unavailable.
It just spits out "100%" no matter what. Weird.

TF is an anarcho-primative?

"But Rest of World noted that many so-called "TikTok refugees" migrating to RedNote do not "seem to know, or care, about platform rules.""

Oh, so Americans continue to America.
Ugh.

@Stefan_S_from_H
That sucks

@GossiTheDog
That's cause nobody is learning about how fucked up our country is on X

Pence lauds TikTok ruling: 'Victory for privacy' https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5091502-tiktok-ban-ruling-mike-pence/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Is it just me, or does Pence look like an evil Odo?

@toussaint
Both parties need to be thrown in to the fucking sun.
Republicans just need to be thrown there faster and with more anger than the dems.

@adelinej

Adorable AF!

I have an odd sense of humor

@realTuckFrumper
Fuck Meta!

The flouride thing is such a topic for me.
I happen to be sensitive to flouride. It causes sores in the soft tissues of my mouth. So I benefit when consouracy theories lead to less flouride exposure, but conspiracy shit is bad.

@artemis
My identity as "American" is entrapped.
I didn't sign up to be here, I don't want to be here, I'm unfortunately connected to stuff here, and I don't have access to the means to stop being here.

Today I learned Chinese people thought their government was lying to them to shit on capitalism when it comes to...
Yes, we do pay for ambulances.
Yes, our kids need bulket proof backpacks.

They thought these were lies because it's so absurd.

I think Americans coming in to direct digital contact with people in China might be a very good thing.

I'm interested in seeing how this plays out. Not that I have much choice

BA HAHAHAHAHAHA
I hopped back on TikTok to see what's going on in response to the ban.
...I got served a Red Note ad, in Chinese!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh god, how is this timeline real?! How?!

"But that's inconvenient!"

Yes. Giving up Google, or Apple, is inconvenient as fuck. They do that on purpose. I value not being tracked 24/7 a lot higher than my convenience.

Most enfuriating are payment apps.
Cash App demands Google.
Zelle is cutting me off in March.

Many non-Google navigation apps suck ass.
Discord notifications to keep up with my RP group were a god damn nightmare to get working.
No insurance app for me!
Smart watches are hit or miss, Garmin cooperates.

Another use for your old Android or iPhone... If an account you use suddenly won't let you in because of stupid ass Google shit, having your old phone around is an easy way to load the app and close that account. I had to do this on one of my debit cards when they abruptly decided to require attensation or some Google API shit.
I used the app via my old phone on WiFi to transfer out the balance and tossed the card in the drawer with the phone. lol.
