TikTok for sure is in the eye of the storm. US army has forbidden personnel from using it. Apple has caught the app using clipboard capture mechanisms to spy users.

To get more details, around 2 months ago, Reddit user ‘Bangorlol’ commented on a discussion about TikTok claiming to have successfully reverse-engineered it. He advised users against using the app and telling their friends and family to stop using it as well due to its intrusive user tracking among other serious problems.

Here is the link https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/fxgi06/not_new_news...

The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi

My favorite quotes:

PHILOSOPHER: To quote Adler again: ‘The important thing is not what one is born with, but what use one makes of that equipment.

The courage to be happy also includes the courage to be disliked. When you have gained that courage, your interpersonal relationships will all at once change into things of lightness.

once one is released from the schema of competition, the need to triumph over someone disappears.

Eagerly waiting for it to be launched in India. Sadly, India is one of the last to receive any good tech gear by big vendors.

This is a revolution for the whole world. Asia is 12 years ahead of the rest of the world. It is a time machine to the world,” he says. “The key point is not because they are better at tech. It’s because the demand for digital and mobile services is so much higher. They are leapfrogging generations of paying by plastic and cheque books to paying online through e-wallets.”

12 years ahead? Seems a patronizing number to put Asian fintech highlighted. Can any one confirm if this sounds right?
