      You mean that stalkerware that whores out your privacy for profit? Yeah good luck with that shit. There are far reaching implications for this stupid nonsense with Nvidia. The stuff it really screws with is outside of the kernel and what makes it easy for most people to use Linux. Without it, the intellectual barrier for real freedom becomes much harder. If you’re into the new digital age of medieval feudalism, whatever, that is your choice. I prefer to avoid stepping back 1000 years of sociopolitical progression.

      This is about ownership. If you didn’t 100% own what you pay for, you are a serf and a slave in all but name. No serf wanted feudalism, they were just too stupid to see what they lost when they lost it and do something about it while they had the chance. It won’t impact you much, but your grandchildren will despise you for these choices and your failure to value freedom and ownership. They are what you are really sacrificing to ignorance

        Oh no, Nvidia is collecting data about my hardware and in turn working perfect on my system! I’m a slave!

          So as long as they use plenty of lube, and do it while you sleep, you don’t mind it in the ass?

          NVIDIA engages in some truly atrocious business practices, that they also produce really powerful GPUs, keep their software working (when it benefits them), and develop exciting new technology, excuses none of it.

      Well no shit, this is about the GPL software license that Linux uses, and obviously Windows does not
