Yes, technically speaking as passed the ban could be enforced against any app controlled by a “Foreign Adversary” as deemed by the gov (so China, Russia etc.) and is determined to be of significant threat to national security.

Classic right-wing nut “You have to listen and like what I say or it’s CeNSOrShIp”

Well yes and no, people are moving to it, mostly as a form of protest IMO

I highly doubt it was “designed” for sowing discord and such, RedNote was very much intended to be a local Chinese SM. Most of the app isn’t even in English last I saw, just Chinese and they’re rushing to hire “English-speaking” moderators rn

That’s when you get a job at said company, fix the big and then quit.

Bonus! You get a neat news article or 2 and at least 3 memes about you doing it lmao

Right? I just hope the news outlets just put out one giant list of all the lawsuits that the new FTC drops instead of having a million "Trump’s FTC drops lawsuit against [company]

Damn even beating Bluesky, let’s gooooo

#14 on Play Store

Like, how long did it take them to adopt broadband technology on their consoles? The Wii?

As on addon or built-in? I know the GameCube had an Ethernet add-on and I think the N64 had a dialup addon (Would have been the fastest at the time for home users, nobody had home broadband on N64 release)

The Wii was the first to have it built in

Least resistance or classic human defiance?

whilst my home server uses about 20W at 100%)

I’d love it if my equipment used so little, but I’d rather just pay a higher electric bill and be able to spin up whatever VM, container or DB I need for a project whenever I want without having to worry about resource usage

You’d be surprised at what your skin just… absorbs

For those who want to know, Mastodon is first, Peertube is third and Lemmy is coming in at fourth place on MAUs

my grow tent

One of these days I also need to get around to starting my grow operation myself lol

Essentially yea, the laws enforcement mechanism as-is is just having the app delisted from app stores

Everything else is of TikToks own doing

It’s a .ml tankie, they only care because it’s a Chinese company, guaranteed if it was like a UK company or something they wouldn’t say a word about it lmao

That would go beyond the ban’s requirement for app stores to stop offering downloads of the app, but not immediately halt use of it.

Before the tankies get mad about the “censorship” of the US while failing to mention the LONG list of things you can get straight up arrested for in China

Not to defend Google, but it has nothing to do with shame and everything to do with marketing.

If you read the URL as a sentence supportsmallbiz.withgoogle.com = Support Small Biz With Google

Loops is very early access IMO, the loops app is more barebones and error-prone than the early Lemmy apps of last year

But it’s absolutely a good start and I hope they can get it up to par quickly
