Yeah what’s the story there? It looks like a newish building?

Just guessing, but it could be one of those "ghost buildings" they keep building in China, where some contractor just builds a loving ghost village out in the wilderness and surprisingly nobody wants to move out there, and then they either get abandoned or torn down.

Or collapse because a contractor who does things like this might not bother making sure the building is actually stable.

I hate how purposefully poo poo the tiktok interface is. I hate it so much.

Every tiktok video I click on:
"where's the sound?"
*taps the screen to see if there's a volume/mute button*
*video stops with no apparent replay button*
"I'm too old for this."
*closes tiktok*

Short videos poke the screen to pause and there's a slider at the bottom. Long videos have the slider visible to do it.



Like tiktok is definitely poo poo, but the one thing it isn't is hard to use.

The interface for those of us who don't install known spyware looks somewhat different.



Also it is not possible to seek, reverse, fast forward, or restart from the browser. I don't understand a world in which a completely nonfunctional website would compel anyone to install even a non-spyware app, but here we are.

Most lifts come with them by default but they can all be disabled and usually are because they do not work and can trap you three stories up in a warehouse when you navigate into a corner it won't let you exit and you don't have enough space to drop.

At least, that's how I learned to disable them.

Those ghost villages invariably fill up after the western reporters had their fun.

I'm a just-off-dead-center millennial thank you very much, and I'll be cold in the ground before I install a social media app on a phone with service. The only social media app I have installed is Snapchat (for business reasons unfortunately) and it's installed on a phone with no service that lives powered off in a box in my bedroom when I'm not explicitly using Snapchat.

I used to play a game called Truck Tires with Facebook app users who wanted me to install it. Close Facebook, put your phone on the table, and then just have a normal conversation, adding the name of a product you don't use (truck tires was first but it's gotta be different each time) to the end of each sentence. After ten or so minutes, you have them open Facebook and see how far they can scroll without getting an ad for the product. It was never far, and I got several converts playing it.

Every social media app is owned by right wingers, so I guess if you're comfortable being on all sorts of lists while they champ at the bit for a civil war, uh, enjoy the consequences. Also don't stand too close to me, those dipshits can't aim.

You can route TCP/IP over AX.25 amateur radio. But it would be unusuable for anything that's not purely text based, because of the limited bandwidth.

At that point you might as well use one of the conventional text chat modes. A couple of watts on shortwave with one of the modern digital modes can get you hundreds, sometimes thousands of kilometers.

Personally I don't even own a phone that can install apps. Nokia 3310 can call people, text people and work as the world's most unignorable alarm clock. Any other computing is going to remain stationary in my home.
