    Edit: I noticed OP put the alt text in the comment after I posted this

  • That's why we need two ssds for dual boot
  • 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.

  • That's why we need two ssds for dual boot
  • 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).

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • 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).

  • xkcd #2898: Orbital Argument
  • ...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).

  • "But my friend runs a PinePhone as a daily driver"
  • 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.

  • Issues with the functioning of kbin.social
  • There is an option for this under settings which is likely to be more fruitful than a comment in a thread.

  • RTR#47 Silent tests are being conducted on the instance
  • I feel it would be seasonal to schedule at least some time off over the next week or so too!
    Good to hear you've at least got the boring admin 'formallities' sorted for a while!

  • Prototype for new Kbin app: Interstellar
  • This is great news! Thanks, and also great that you are making it source from the off!

  • Prototype for new Kbin app: Interstellar
  • 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!

  • RTR#35 User profile enhancements: sorting options, new date range filter, reputation points fix
  • I think it is down to not qualifying as hot. If you sort by new after posting you'll likely be able to see them.

  • What's the plan for downvote federation?
  • 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!)

  • What's the plan for downvote federation?
  • 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!

    Edit: formatting

  • Feature comparison - kbin vs Lemmy
  • masking text

    Like this?

    kbin does that just fine.

  • Feature comparison - kbin vs Lemmy
  • Or just type it in using the Google stock keyboard on Android... 😜
    Edit: and kbin does very much support emoji.

  • Feature comparison - kbin vs Lemmy
  • Indeed, and then there is a whole raft of searching, sorting and filtering options for Microblog posts (aka Toots) which kbin does, and which Lemmy can't even see.

And #Lemmy support is coming in a week or two :) #Threadiverse #kbin #kbinapp #ios #android

    Great start to the Tour - well done Adam!

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