Yes that's right, and I realised I could no longer be a historic game hardware collector with that generation of consoles which killed my main hobby at the time. Years of Nintendo loyalty and, dare I say it, fandom, were betrayed and the Wii itself was just awful.

So Nebula got rid of him (which would seem to coincide with his drop in output)?, Kurzgesagt seems to be doing just fine in comparison.

Nintendo Wii: as a loyal Nintendo purchaser here from the Game & Watch, to the Super Nintendo, N64 and GameCube, but the Nintendo Wii never let me back up my purchased downloaded games in a way I could transfer to another Wii without online access. I get that that's now standard but it was the first time I was burnt by it.

Good call, never come across one that isn't a dreadful user experience and I'm confused as hell as to why they've become so popular.

Sorry, do you mean the current CEO of Nebula or of YouTube?

Yeah, it's weird, CGPGrey videos used to be the most must-watch of all YouTube for me and I subscribed to his Patreon at one point. I listened to Hello Internet loyally and I was even unhurt about how it ended. I still think he's an interesting guy and would follow his stuff again but he doesn't seem to be doing anything of interest to me any more.

What happened with Standard/Nebula?

I've never owned a better inkjet than the one I've had in the late 90s on all measures; build-quality, print quality, speed, operating noise, ink consumption, ink price, overall price, usability. Everything has got worse.

Begs the question what's the point in all of this? In 20 or so years of using Linux (usually maintaining multiple systems at once) I've had a kernel panic maybe about 4 times for different reasons, and on those occasions the console debug info was fine. I don't really understand the excitement around making error messages look more like Windows. It can't be around being more newbie friendly since if you're having kernel panics you probably need to be an expert or have expert advice anyway.

What about Linux distribution repos? (in terms of where they fall in the known/unknown category)

Yes I'm aware of that, I assumed that a site recommended on here would have that as a main feature otherwise it's not much use for archiving. I already tried yt-dlp and it doesn't seem to be supported.

There doesn't seem to be any way of saving videos there, am I missing something?
