Yeah that happened on Microsofts knowledgebase sites for years…

So annoying. But cant blame such a small company for not fixing that, they probably couldn’t afford to fix it /s

Well, at least that will make him tougher and less likey to be eaten.

I still have mine :) I still use it every few years, though just for moving the pc to a new appartment, it’s been forever since I was on a LAN party… Though mine is the basoc model, without the attachments for keaboard and cables

I get the sentiment, but at the same time it feels like a mad waste of resources and energy in a time of climate crisis. These materials and electric power could have gone into sustainable transportation or carbon capture instead of fuelling some corporations monetary gain.

When you get to vote for multiple submissions every 2-3 months, turnout tends to be lower. Probably only people who hold a strong opinion about the topics of the current vote will actually vote.

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

Same with the “select all images with bicycles”, theres usually at least 2 or 3 in there that are so blurry you can’t tell if it’s a motorbike or a bicycle

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”…

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”

I was asking myself, how much money do you need to have, to be in the top 1%?

So for context, according to this article, you are in the top 1% worldwide, if your net worth is above ~872’000.-, that is 19 million US Americans.

With 94’000.- you are in the top 10%
