Prebuilt like a traditional server? I personally use an orange pi and it's pretty good. Just make sure to use the open source arm OS.

Honestly this is valid. I wouldn't take this immediately. I would wait a few years to see if there are any side effects, too much money to be made.

A decline in morale after record profits? I think a pizza party is an order.

Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] lautan@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

Not this guy again. In my opinion they tell us small truths like CCP bad, etc. Which isn't wrong but they're concealing the true motivation. Why ban it now? Not two years ago? It's because TikTok needs to be under better control for the upcoming election and in the future. We already know big tech all work in concert to conceal topics for the US.
