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.

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/@[email protected] But, the mastodon and threads seems abandoned.

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

tbh Bluesky also a nice alternative as well.

normies does not really care about corporate or not. the good thing about bluesky are: easy signups compare to mastodon (noobs do not want to join “servers”), better language filter than mastodon (I tried to pick specific language on mastodon setting. But, I still got unused language that I want to see), customized feed (good to find engagement), less ragebait than X and it is open source.

Bluesky also a nice alternative.

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

yeah that is why I enjoy much more on bluesky lately because we have customised feed (especially for you which is very similar like X), good engagement, good language filter and ease of use for signup and usage.

while X is getting pretty bad lately. this is a sanest choice because mastodon is difficult for noobs and threads algorithm is pretty bad lately.

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
