Technology@lemmy.world•Abu Dhabi royal family to take stake in TikTok US under Trump deal * It will become platform owned by different bastardsEnglish
2·1 month agoNot sure someone knows for the moment, but for sure the US part will have all its data in US data center and all. App can be the same binaries I guess, like Netflix for instance, that use IP/geo location to show you different stuff.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are you more scared of horror when you were younger, or more scared as you got older?
2·2 months agoYounger for sure, watching horror movies on a CRT from VHS, when you are pre-teen or something, is scary! Now I am completely desensitized from them, they do nothing for me, and I don’t watch them anymore, I prefer to watch something else.

71·3 months agoI remember maybe 12-15 years ago, setting OpenVPN on my TomatoUSB flashed router, invoking all kind of openssl command to generate certificates, keys, signing stuff, setting the router, setting the TAP/TUN clients etc. but once setup it works for years on my laptop, phone, etc.
Now with WG I basically scan on my phone a QR code generated on my Merlin router and that’s it.

1990, so 35 years ago, there was no WWW, we had IRC, Gopher, Usenet. It was mainly students/universities and a couple of companies.



I did it in France (it has ben removed in 2000 IIRC) and nothing special, you learn a couple of thing especially collective/cooperation. I think it was a good thing.
