Ayaneo have always struggled with steam os integration, but it probably will have a Bazzite variant.

I don't see why you'd spend $900 on this when you could get a better handheld for that money but I'll give them this, the swappable joystick/button thing is cool.

Lol. I Iove that people think apple isn't collecting just as much of their data as Google. It's a stupid assumption and it's not true but here we are.

This will hit a dead end as soon as Trump sends classified intelligence in an "All Hands" email.

What does your mom say?

Oh. I see. Sorry. I didn't understand. Inside the house means the claims are originating directly from users of Tik Tok on the Tik Tok platform. There was an old horror movie about a babysitter getting prank calls about the children in the house being in danger. It turned out the calls were coming from inside the house.

Yes. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyeer3qp12o

It said that unless the government immediately stepped in to assure the video app it would not be punished for violating the looming ban, it would be "forced to go dark on January 19".<<

Some Tik Tok creators are complaining on the platform that they are being censored, specifically in regards to talking poorly about the Trump administration.

As much as some people harp on Tik Tok being a bastion of non-censorship, it has been proven repeatedly that this is not actually true. They just pick and choose carefully what to censor and when. Most platforms do that. It's not surprising. It also wouldn't be surprising for them to not promote or prioritize content with their algorithm that could be seen by the current POTUS as inflammatory because they are attempting to gain favor with him at the moment in exchange for potential political favors in regards to the platform in the future.

This is funny, given one of his first EO's was to scrap the previous Administration's AI rules. Scrap the protections but not the sale of the technology because that's where the money is coming from.

The law stipulates that the POTUS is the person who determines that a platform or app is in violation. Once that happens, an investigation is launched through the AG's office and applicable agencies. After that the AG's office makes a determination about whether or not the app/platform is in violation of the law. Once that happens, the platform or app can appeal. But if they lose that appeal then they have a limited time to divest to another entity before their platform is banned and the POTUS can pause not revoke this process for a period of time (to give the app time to divest as is required). So basically Trump now has given Tik Tok a stay of execution so to speak but that doesn't mean they won't be forced to shut down or divest.

This was a direct politically planned and intended effect of this push so close to the inauguration, so far as I can tell. It's politicians doing political stuff.

Right now he looks like the savior (and that's intentional, both Tik Tok and Trump get something out of that). But in the long term I don't know that most Tik Tok users are going to remember that Trump bought the app back and to actually remove the law requires an act of Congress. That will take more time than the limited amount that Trump can essentially delay the removal of the app from app stores and American servers.

I honestly think this was a fuck you to Trump from Biden because essentially Biden's political career is over. Trump is going to do a lot of damage over the next 4 years and do as much as he can to undo any of the progress that has been made. It's kind of a petty move on Biden's part, but Trump started this colossal movement against Tik Tok in the first place.

Looks like they may be coming from inside the house.

To try to make him look bad, is my theory.

Job hunting is what I meant. And you pretty much have to use your personal phone for that. I haven't ever had a company phone. Doubt they'd give it to techs.

If you're job hunting, or work in specific fields this may not be a reasonable thing to do and that's at least part of the problem.

Yeah. Y'all can keep that.

Americans care but they're bad at organizing. Significantly so. They fight amongst themselves and get caught up in drama. They spread misinformation and don't like facts that conflict with what they believe is right. So these kinds of movements stagnate unless someone with a specific type of charisma gives them a direction to follow.

There are problems with the law as well. The main one is that Tik Tok buys a whole lot of data about Americans and their browser history etc from data brokers. So they don't necessarily need the app to gather information. Comparisons of the Tik Tok app vs it's counterpart in China exist and they paint a pretty significant picture of the differences and similarities that explain how it could be used to push a narrative or propaganda. Barring that though two things can be true. It can be true that Tik Tok is a danger to national security, and also be lobbied against by American Tech companies.

What we're seeing is that this law was the result of several things and doesn't just have one singular aim. Anyone who says it's just about one singular thing just doesn't want to admit the validity of the other arguments because it ruins how they feel about the federal government, Tik Tok, China, Trump, Biden etc.

Who asked for a 50% stake in the company.

Yep. But this doesn't answer their question. I'm rooting for a Tik Tok CEO vs Meta CEO battle Royale at the inauguration.

Because they are distributed by a company that is owned by Bytedance. You know. The people who own Tik Tok.
