I'm sorry to tell you that an equivalent of Karma existed from the very beginning (though rather than being Upvotes minus Downvotes, it was Boosts minus Downvotes until a few days ago due to a bug). It's called Reputation and you can see it by viewing someone's profile in kbin. At the time of writing this, your Reputation points seem to be at 443. Reputation isn't being used for anything though, and while it can technically be tracked by anyone, lemmy hides that information so far.
[In fact, you can see who gave up- or downvotes to something and you can also see what someone up- or downvoted (or boosted, but that's a given, since boosting is equivalent to retweeting). This information is out there for anyone to access who spins up their own instance due to how federation works, so the developer of kbin decided to make it public so people are at least aware of this fact.]
You guys confused me because I couldn't see any emojis in any of your names. Until I clicked on @SgtSilverLining 's name and then the link to view the profile in the original instance. Turns out kbin doesn't have the concept of a display name, only usernames.
Looks like either you have a capital letter in your username and what I see is your username, or you don't have an emoji in your display name, or kbin strips emojis from usernames.
Edit: It appears kbin shows people's usernames, not their display names. That said, you still seem to have a capital letter in your username.
At SpaceX, Tesla, and other companies he hired industry experts.
And proceeded to overrule them with idiotic ideas like "scrap all sensors etc, our self driving cars will drive with image recognition only". And now most companies with self driving cars in development are miles ahead of Tesla despite starting later.
@meganekun Afaik reputation isn't tracked separately but calculated on the fly with upvotes minus downvotes (and boosts minus downvotes before). That would make it necessarily retroactive.
@HandsHurtLoL It's not exactly buried as just not implemented yet. KBin is, after all, still in development. Same goes for following people: still in development.
With Redhat going kinda closed-source, will its derivatives like Fedora remain viable?
Don't remember how Canonical shit the bed, but I'm wary of using Ubuntu derivatives.
What would you recommend for a distro that keeps on top of security updates and is at least acceptable in terms of running games like AoE2 DE or The Outer Worlds?
