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.
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!
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!
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.
I think it complements federation too. Suddenly you can have a collection of magazines sharing a name/topic from different instances all listed together in one place. That's really quite cool!
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!

...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).
