On Kbin the votes are 100% public for anyone. I’ve migrated to Lemmy after the frequent server issues with Kbin and I miss that part dearly. It was very easy to gauge whether someone was engaging in a good or bad faith discussion by checking the votes within a discussion. That being said, personally I’m very light on my downvotes, and I can see how someone more trigger-happy would see it as worrying. Personally I see the vote transparency as healthy though.
Or frontdoor checkbox for that matter, given that it’s the literal device owner that takes the action tripping their “security” tripwire.
Consumers? Probably no. Geeks and hackers? Damn yes!
Oh hell no, we don’t need THREE major active conflicts!
So do I, and yet I keep renting a tiny apartment for ridiculous money. Maybe I should have committed genocide instead.
It would be just as (un)popular as the Steam Machines if it wasn’t for Proton, that’s my whole point.
They already tried that in the Steam Machines era. It clearly wasn’t working.
With some sprinkle of libraries such as anyhow and thiserror the Rust errors become actually pleasant to use. The vanilla way is indeed painful when you start handling more than one type of error at a time.
Go is like that abusive partner that gives you flowers and the next day makes you feel like shit. Then another day you go to an expensive restaurant and you tell yourself that maybe it’s not so bad and they still care. And the cycle continues.
Rust is an autistic partner that sometimes struggles with telling you how much they care, is often overly pedantic about technical correctness and easily gets sidetracked by details, but with some genuine effort from both sides it’s very much a workable relationship.
Ah, so this was about melting the bottle down and making a new bottle 7 times? As opposed to washing the bottle and reusing it as it was. Makes much more sense now. :)
Why 7 specifically?
A non-American here. Can you explain why it is considered a political suicide? Do the votes like Israel so much or what?
How many email accounts do you have? It might be a huge factor. I have about 7 accounts I need to check regularly and I cannot imagine doing it manually for each. I can see it working for one or maybe two though.
The very notion of “less of a UB” is against the concept of UB. If you have an UB in your program, all guarantees are out of the window.
I’d even argue public votes can deescalate some situations, for example where both sides of a relatively heated discussion can see they vote each other up. They don’t necessarily agree but they appreciate the other side’s points.
As for the transparency, it’s not possible to list all the votes of a user, one rather needs to list votes on a given post. To profile a given user the attacker would need to cross-reference the data from all posts and comments which is computationally infeasible, both client-side and server-side.
