That layer shows it doesn’t make sense to start on your original layer, so let’s stop that common line of though too? I can’t talk to everyone so this card is currently a single target, negation and destruction :)

I mostly agreed on the other paragraph. Just that friends can not understand but still be supportive, and sad you’re not there for games (which are more important than the public would agree).

To pretend they have a choice is what the “free will” assumption is all about - but everything everything else you said was logical.

Though I would disagree about how life changing it can be to stop or not play a video game. It has not been easy for my best friends to understand all the reasons why I can no longer play certain games with them or refuse to play new ones (I use Linux and won’t dual boof Windows, I’d rather play open source game and use open source communication software).

Did you pay for this game?

(Edit: just asking, not making a point)

Perhaps not a takeover so much as a betrayal, a backstabbing? Certainly hostile to the community.

In 2022, maintainers (…) founded the company Gitea Limited with the goal of offering hosting services using (proprietary) versions of Gitea. (…). The shift away from a community ownership model received some resistance from some contributors, which led to the formation of a software fork called Forgejo. From Wikipedia.

Not found a better OS for me than Mint :)

If you’re an adult and want to use this to play a game, your choice. I hope this doesn’t help Roblox reach more children though.

Ah I see, thanks for the info.

Presumably some games at some point needed the user to update the kernel for an updated AMD driver?

Sapphire have some pros but I’m not sure Linux is one of them. They release programs for Windows (like controlling LED colors) and do not release an equivalent on Linux (and it’s not open source).

nvidia has released opensource kernel level drivers

"Not every GPU is compatible with the open-source GPU kernel modules.

For cutting-edge platforms such as NVIDIA Grace Hopper or NVIDIA Blackwell, you must use the open-source GPU kernel modules. The proprietary drivers are unsupported on these platforms." - developer.nvidia.com

Only 9 years after AMD, and 13 years after Linus said “fuck you Nvidia” during a talk for being such a difficult company to work with.

I’m trying to cut back on proprietary software until I’m only using free software but I make a small exception for some games (usually bought by friends, or to play with them).

I doubt that literally is a significant concern.

When I can’t join others is when I hear confusion as to why I use GNU+Linux, and disappointment when I refuse to use Windows to play a certain game.

It’s a chicken and egg problem. Both users and devs need to move at the same time, in reality that means bit by bit.

Others might do it for them if they shared the source code 🤷

How far is the company willing to go to prevent cheating? Cameras in people’s homes to make sure they’re not using another computer that your anti-cheat has no access to?

If players tolerate that then competitive gaming is going in a deeper dark pit of proprietary spyware in the name of fighting cheating, an arms race with no end.

Where do they teach it?

Publishers? Shareholders are the problem. If any involved can make a change then we should do that. I can’t talk of publishers but I can speak dev.

If many of us refused towrite code unless it will be shared under an open source/free software license then publushers would have no choice but to let people self host. Sadly school doesn’t appear to teach programmers ethics of software, specifically flsoftware freedomn

You’re right that the former license can’t be taken away from other instances.

Some projects chooses a license specifically to stop people taking code without sharing code back upon redistribution via copyleft (ShareAlike). Getting around that by changing the license defeats the purpose (projecting users software freedom).
