A spokesperson for TikTok told the BBC that it had increased its investment “in efforts to ensure reliable information can be found on TikTok”, launching a “UK Election Centre with a fact-checking expert” and adopting an “industry-leading AI labelling technology”.

I doubt this will move the needle. Ultimately TikTok was not built for news & politics specifically, and it seems like a robust fact-checking system would lead to less engagement overall. So it's at odds with their primary objective

Welp, that sucks. I guess maybe if Notion veers into privacy that'd be a win, but difficult to see that future. Their new "Notion Calendar" requires Google Calendar.

This puts Nikki Haley in an interesting position. If she continues the 1-on-1 with Trump, it's basically doubling-down on Trump losing or having a bad term to bolster her credibility down the line.

I presume this is on purpose considering they're moving towards tweets not being public (account required to view). Showing the tweet in the preview would be an easy way to get way around this

Are there any services that provide an alternative to YouTube history? I primarily watch on my Chromecast with Google TV and I haven't been able to find any

I've seen a lot of reviews criticize it's length to price ratio. What are your thoughts on that?

So simple that I sort of hesitate to call it a game.

I'm guessing you haven't played Townscaper?

Out of curiosity, what kind of tweaks?

And any form of game save backup that doesn't require a subscription. Since their current offering blatantly anti-consumer.

Google Tasks isn’t remotely close to being a powerful project management tool on par with Todoist or some of the other apps out there. Even Apple’s Reminders app can do more. It’s much closer in spirit to a paper to-do list — just a bunch of things written down that you need to get done.

If you liked/tried Reply All I highly recommend Underunderstood (plus Overunderstood if you join their Patreon, it's a big catalog). That being said it's more tech in culture than heavy/deep tech (they're journalists, not developers/hackers)

I don't think Darknet Diaries falls into this boat either...? The host may be libertarian or something but it's not really relevant to the content since it's mostly narrative-driven interviews or stories
