In time it may become a trade-off between new (with associated features and speed) Vs tried and tested/secure.
To us now this sounds perverse, but remember that NASA generally use very old hardware because they can be more certain the various bugs & features have been found and documented. In NASA's case this is for reliability. I'll concede 'brute force' does add another dimension when applying this logic to security.
This may also become an AI arms race. Finding exploits is likely something AI could become very good at - but a better AI seeking to obfuscate?
How long until US bans code from developers with ties to CN/RU?
That won't happen because it would effectively mean banning all FOS which isn't remotely practical.

It's relatively quick and easy to fix if you have a live boot Linux usb stick ...and probably a second machine so you can Google what to do. It's just also rather worrying at the time.
You jest, but I used to run Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98 and Linux all on the same system quite happy.
I really wish Excel would work on wine. It's the only reason I do occasionally fire up windows on my duel boot. (And no the open source / browser based spreadsheet options don't always suffice, brilliant as they are).
My main issue is I'm not shutting down my Pi-Hole, home assistant, NAS etc etc just to plug in something like this in, and then 24h or so later shut them all down again to retrieve it again. That said I basically have a collection of Pis (passively cooled and this silent) and a Synology disk station so the power use is pretty low.
You've got me there, but by logical extension you are now saying the celestial body the ISS orbits is ...the moon?
You seem to be saying that the earth-moon barycente can be logically referred to as just 'the moon' ?
Some people use apps which hide posts they have interacted with. A downvote counts as interaction so people in turn then liberally downvote nearly everything. Yes it's unhelpful and dumb. Solution, use kbin and at least you can see who downvoted you! (Except I don't think downvotes are federated).

...whoosh.
In no logical sense does the sun orbit our moon. The earth does however indeed orbit the moon (or technically they both orbit a common centre between the earth and the moon).
They seem to have resolved their supply chain issues for now. I could buy a Pi 5 and have it dispatched tomorrow, and I did buy a Pi 4b recently, no issues with delays or lead times.
No Mint pretty much just works.
Great thing about Mint (or most Linux distros) is that you can try it by booting from a usb stick - see if you like it that way.
There is an option for this under settings which is likely to be more fruitful than a comment in a thread.
This is great news! Thanks, and also great that you are making it source from the off!
Ernest will no doubt correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he's also said he'd prefer to leave aps to those for whome it is a core strength.
I think he knows it's something the community would like, so I think the post you link above was in reaction to Artimis unfortunately going offline and the App (for now) dieing with it (since nobody seems able to contact the developer). I suspect it's something Ernest will progress 'in his free time' if no other apps which live up to his ambitions are developed first!
A key difference here is we can see who downvoted which I think makes people more cautious to downvote. I guess Lemmy users aren't used to that however (but it might change their behaviour when they realise we can see!)
how it should work on kbin.social [?]
In my view ideally upvotes and downvotes federate both ways, but I can also see why some admins might choose not to federate in downvotes.
I guess the real question comes down to what you do with the information.
I think currently the sort order is very heavily skewed towards boosts (which I actually quite like), but I do also sometimes wonder how it would look if the sort order was aligned with the reputation system (i.e. boost= two upvotes).
Having both sort options available might be nice, (noting that we'll not federate in any boosts from Lemmy).
If we did federate in downvotes the current sort order (which seems based on boosts less downvotes?) probably wouldn't make sense?
...I'm also be keen to see others thoughts on this!

Some thoughts about using the Microblog functionality in kbin and why, controversially, I think it might actually beat Mastodon at it's own game - browsing toots.
Kbin let's you have a curated feed of posts from the fediverse (including Mastodon toots) which is sorted by new, hot, top etc.
Steps:
-
First, if you are subscribed to the https://kbin.social/m/Random magazine, I'd suggest you unsubscribe - kbin drops everything which it can't allocate to a magazine into here, which for the Microblog stuff is a lot of noise.
-
Do make sure you've subscribed to a few magazines, but also you can subscribe to domains like https://kbin.social/d/social.bbc
-
Follow people (I'm not sure of they will show up, but can't harm)
...now look at "Subscribed", and then choose the Microblog section (on desktop it's a tab at the top, on mobile you'll need to scroll to the bottom of Page 1 to find the Microblog button).
You should find this Microblog has stuff linked to the magazines you subscribe to, this is due to hastags being linked to those magazines, and also included posts from domains you've subscribed too. I'm not actually sure if people you've followed show up here(?)
Better still you can now sort and filter this list, New, Hot, Top / 3h, 6h, 12h, day, week etc. This is sorting based on boots and upvotes.
In summary you've now got a custom curated feed of fediverse posts, and you can sort this feed by the posts which are most popular.
...I don't think Mastodon let's you sort your feed like this - this is power!

Very exciting start to the Tour De France today. Great seeing the Yates brothers battling it out, and a well earned result for Adam.
