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)

Right, didn't think of that :)

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

Nice!

Though if they were double sided, there is no way we can see all these cards in the same shot. If it starts at odd numbers (i.e. #1), #3 and #4 would share the same card front and back, if it starts even (i.e. a cover graphic and #1 on the same card), #4 and #5 should share the same card front and back.

And then there is youtube which just discards the whole buffer content each time an ad plays. Very sophisticated. Although knowing google that behavoir is likely on purpose

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
