How long until US bans code from developers with ties to CN/RU?
That won’t happen because it would effectively mean banning all FOS which isn’t remotely practical.

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).
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.

Only it is more complicated than that too …kbin has boosts as well as upvotes, and boosts count double, so reputation is:
Boosts x2 + upvotes - downvotes
and all of that is as observed by that instance, so much of your history could well be on communities the kbin instance doesn’t know and didn’t see.
Congratulations, you have a reputation of 1,427 as observed on kbin.social!
Kbin / mbin do expose reputation (karma) even for federated users. e.g.

From the comment I’m guessing Canada… but then India is commonwealth too so the logic doesn’t really work.
Actually… Reddit was open source until 2017.

But the rest of your comment still stands.
Kbin allows users to do this (noting kbin isn’t a client it’s a compatible platform).
Not sure, it just taught me to write really efficient code!
Indeed, and for me giving me a rough framework to modify is hugely useful and time saving. As the commenter above said it’s a tool, it’s not a team member.
Have you tried asking ChatGPT or Bard to write you code to do something? It is actually remarkably good at it.
That and being an alternative to a thesaurus is about all I use LLMs for.
Neither very much. Python won’t change. Excel when running in the cloud will become more powerful, but the workbooks using Python will also be incompatible with desktop versions of Excel. At least that’s what I’m understanding so far.
???
I’ll just presume you agree with everything I said since you didn’t mention any aspect of it.
And the chromium open source project while they are at it…
Except at it’s core chromium is open source, and I can’t see the FOSS community embracing the idea. The French also wouldn’t be able to fully limit access to unrestricted browsers.
It’s an all round dumb idea. Much easier and more effective to tell ISPs to do the blocking.
Ah, dangers of written text. The “Sure.” comment make it look like you were being sarcastic to me as a Brit (we use sarcasm a lot!)
I stand corrected!
What a weird comment. I guess you’d not plug your 96W charger into your 2.4kW capable power socket?
While some of what your say is true, the examples you give are not good ones. The Amazon example has far more to do with EU/US data residency requirements (e.g. GDPR), and practicalities about how things like local taxes are treated. In games it has more to do with latency and ping times and also you don’t want 10,000 people waiting for one particular mob to spawn because of a quest or drop.
In time it may become a trade-off between new (with associated features and speed) Vs tried and tested/secure.
To us now this sounds perverse, but remember that NASA generally use very old hardware because they can be more certain the various bugs & features have been found and documented. In NASA’s case this is for reliability. I’ll concede ‘brute force’ does add another dimension when applying this logic to security.
This may also become an AI arms race. Finding exploits is likely something AI could become very good at - but a better AI seeking to obfuscate?
