I've thought about this. Essentially, whenever a channel gets moderately successful they will be contacted by various agencies trying to 'sponsor' them.
All the people that make video for fun hardly get seen, and if they do it's not long before they sell out.
I totally agree. Corporate interests and rampant consumerism have ruined the majority of the internet.
Glad we still have refuges like lemmy though to take solace in. Proportionally we're a smaller part, but absolutely I'd say we're about the same or larger than in the 2000s.
I want to install Debian on the USB drive from my currently running OS, Manjaro Linux.
I don't want to have to boot from Debian installation media to install it on the USB drive.

It's reinforced my philosophical idea that wars are just a way for humanity to purge the worst of itself.
What was stopping Germany from simply buying oil from Russia?
It's all by design.
It's my understanding that backwards-compatible PS3s actually had PS2 hardware in them.
We can play PS2 and PS1 games if they are downloaded from the store, so emulation isn't an issue. I think Sony looked at the data and saw they would make more money removing backwards compatibility, so that's what they did.
Thankfully the PS3 was my last console before standards got even lower and they started charging an additional fee to use my internet.
They already have the advantage of not being Nvidia
That's just because they release worse products.
If AMD had Nvidia's marketshare, they would be just as scummy as the business climate allows.
In fact, AMD piggybacks off of Nvidia's scumbaggery to charge more for their GPUs rather than engage in an actual price war.
That's kind of the glory of the fediverse, though. We can have communities using the same protocol that never interact with each other.
There can be completely separate fediverses that cater to different people.
