Joining Haidra, instance democracy and the tantalizing potential for user flairs

This is great news, I'm always proud to have @dbzer0 associated with my lemmy activity, but starting a non-profit only reinforces that this is the community best representing my values. IMHO non-profits and community lead organizations are our best alternative to enshittification, as there are no greedy shareholders running things with zero interest in the actually quality of a thing or service, just concerned with expanding the wealth they were usually born with.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT outsells entire combined NVIDIA RTX 50 series GPUs at German retailer

I use AMD mainly because FLOSS values closer to mine than NVIDIA, but I wish nearly everything in late-stage capitalism wasn't a duopoly. Really a monopoly when the oligarchs own them both via multinational asset managers. I agree with the comments about older cards and the future of gaming though, I think the AMD vs NVIDIA conversation is going to move away from gaming as CUDA vs ROCm continues to evolve.

Yarr! I appreciate the humility and skepticism expressed in your response matey and I agree there's no universal antidote for the abominations (aka corporations) that purvey suffering and evil on a scale unrivaled in our world. Lest we forget, how modern corporations originated to capitalize on the slave trade in the 17th century, then legally transformed themselves as slavery ended, creating a new system of exploitation based on corporation personhood. During the Age of Sail, piracy offered the most effective challenge to corporations like the East India Company, disrupting their slave trade and offering those freed people an opportunity to join. Piracy was the answer to corporate greed then, as I believe it still is today.
