I can’t wait until some major vulnarability in Denuvo pops up and either gets widely exploited or AV programs start to warn against it due to security risks

Yeah that’s pretty much what I meant, sorry if I wasn’t clear.

I just think in order to reduce the resistance against such a change, it might be good to still provide the “old” method with voter registration for anyone who doesn’t want a government ID because of “muh freedoms”.

That way, any normal citizen can just have a government ID and by identifying themselves be able to vote without further registration. Any citizen who doesn’t want an ID can go through a voter registration process, same as today.

They could just make a government ID that is not mandatory. Much like a passport. And whoever holds a passport or a voluntary govt ID is automatically enabled to vote using their ID / passport, but then would still leave the choice of manually registering for voting for those who don’t trust “the government” and don’t want a govt ID

These quotes go to show how bigger corporations like Valve can still be a helpful, desirable influence in the FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) community.

Unfortunately, as far as bigger corporations go, there are very few that are “like Valve”…

Are those scorch marks an issue beyond aesthetics though? (Genuinely curious, not judging)

I think there are a lot of ways this is technologically solvable. Imho this is an economic challenge, not a technological one.

Larry Ellisons Oracle gobbled up many great companies and open source projects and sucked the life out of them, such as Sun Microsystems, OpenOffice, MySQL to name just a few

There’s a big difference between being sponsored by the very product you are reviewing in this specific video, and being sponsored by something unrelated while being openly and obviously presented as sponsored content.

If the power goes out there will be no signalling on the tracks, no barriers or traffic lights at level crossings, no lights or announcements at train stations, etc.

Even though a diesel locomotive technically could run with no external power, no regular train will be operating during a general power outage.

Same goes for an EMP, even though that would likely fry the diesel locos control systems anyways

Alternatively when creating the ventoy installation you can chose to leave X amount of space behind the ventoy partition and then create your own data partition there afterwards. You lose the advantage of “dynamically” sharing the available space between ventoy and your data, but with the seperqte partition you can use whatever filesystem you like for your data, and there is a clear seperation between ventoy and your other data.

I know it’s not exactly what you are asking, but on kagi.com you can increase & decrease weighting of any domain in search results. You can also create custom url redirects, which could work for cases where the url contains the same information but on another domain (i.e. redirect youtube result to same video ID on piped).

But I’m not sure if kagi fits your needs, while it is privacy focused it is a commercial product and it asks a monthly subscription fee

For me personally that looks very interesting if that’s the right word, it pikes my curiousity, but it evokes a very uneasy feeling which would make me want to leave rather than hang around this area.

Kind of “nothing is allowed here if it’s not with explicit purpose”
