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.
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).
…or Mint depending whether they’d rather move up, or down the hierarchy.
Not even sure it’s EEE, they just clone and provide the clone of a good product for free and/or as part of windows.
Their products are usually only second best, but kill the market leader anyway.
Actually… Reddit was open source until 2017.

But the rest of your comment still stands.
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.
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.
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?
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.
From the paper the picture is of an and gate.

This is where I link my own post from a few days ago - but basically to say kbin is actually a very good way to browse Mastodon “Toots”, and yes you can post just as easily too.

Not sure I fully agree. These tool are really ruddy brilliant at certain things (like writing or translating computer code, drafting certain documents) but they are poor at being factually correct. Unless / until they find a way to fact-check themselves I don’t see them replacing search, just complementing it.
Ernest switched the upvote from being boosts to favourites shortly before the Reddit exodus, he did this to better align with Lemmy.
Boosts and Favourites are both wider fediverse things - using them keeps compatibility there.
The switch is implemented in hot and top sorting (as you note I think a upvote/favourite counts 50% of a boost), but it sounds like reputation wasn’t fixed at the same time, for now reputation is boosts less downvotes which Ernest himself has acknowledged doesn’t make much sense.
It is still being discussed in the issues log!
