If you use kbin you can even see who has made each upvote, so yes easy to then look for patterns of voting together and also at the profiles to see if the accounts looks like real people etc.
Posts and comments are federated (synchronised). Upvotes are actually a bit of a fudge, they are actually ‘Favourites’ if considered from an activity pub (e.g. Mastodon) perspective, and yes favourites are also federated.
Downvotes don’t exist in activity pub and, as a result, they do not federate between instances.
At least that is my understanding.
Pi zero W has WiFi, alternatively there are hats available. And yes they can run a full Rasbian OS.
There are already plenty of audio hats available, indeed they are recommended for better quality sound.
Kbin allows users to do this (noting kbin isn’t a client it’s a compatible platform).
Thanks for the correction, I read the wrong number! I’ve edited accordingly.
Indeed. Activity pub includes favourites and boosts.
Lemmy uses favourites as an upvote. Kbin does too, but kbin also allows boots and it considers that a boost (which is like a retweet) is a more significant endorsement so sorting and reputation is based more on boosts than on upvotes.
Very much so, and equally possible in theory (interference patterns with light exist, light cancellation could work somewhat like noise cancelling) but also equally impossible to do at anything much above an atomic scale.
Circa 60,000 active users, but whatever…
You are rather missing my point. Because it sorts on boosts rather than upvotes it surfaces different things in the federated ‘all’ feed.
Edit: As corrected below it’s about 10k monthly active users, but that’s still circa 10% of the whole threadiverse (kbin + Lemmy) and only Lemmy.world is larger than kbin.social
Have you tried kbin? Same content in that it’s Lemmy compatible, but slightly different sorting algorithm which (in my view) seems to result in a more rounded/balanced set of posts being promoted.
Yes there a different set of issues - it’s earlier in it’s development phase, but developing fast (collapsibling comments is being worked on, API (and therefore 3rd party apps) is imminent, many other improvements are developed and expecting to go live this month…
It could get interesting with right to repair, that probably includes the right to load custom firmware…
Logical next step, hacker sues the developer for copyright infringement?
“It really kicks the llama’s ass” (on Linux)
…or it once did, pity it isn’t really available anymore.
Sales tax is the most obvious example of adding to the cost I’ve been shown, but it’s everything. Here if there is a price on something that is the price you pay. Period.
If I have €5 and the price on the shelf is €4.90 we are all good, and I don’t even need to know what country I’m in!
But is is more than that, if I take my car in to be fixed, they have to agree every cost they want to charge me in advance at no point can anything cost me more than I expected and agreed to up front.
Airline tickets, theatre tickets, hospital bills, TV ads, you name it, the price they state or advertise is what I pay, no ifs-no buts.
As a European I’ll never cease to find it mind blowing that it is normal for a Americans that the cost to them of damn near everything is more than the cost initially shown to them.
They are on kbin which doesn’t support saving comments (yet).
But somehow gun laws work in every other civilised country… Odd.
Well if you are sure it’s not the gun laws then instead fix the other laws which are putting people in poverty and creating the gangs.
Ernest (the kbin developer) has addressed this more than once, and this take is untrue. kbin come from the Linux folder sbin.
