  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.

  Also, 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

  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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube stopped working for me today when using uBlock Origin in Firefox or Vivaldi with anti-ad enabled.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to pay for the content on youtube and I believe that the creators deserve it as well as I understand that the platform costs money. But the UX is so bad and youtube very obviously does not care at all about their viewers, that I morally just can’t justify giving them money for that level of service.
