They don't know they don't have freedom.

lemmeee , 3 months ago to linuxmemes in I can't use AMD

AMD is catching up now. There are still performance differences, but they are probably not as big in the latest generation.

I think we need more to be honest :D

That's very interesting.

It's funny, because people who defend DRM also use this argument. They are happy with the service, so they don't mind losing freedom. They can't understand that they could have both.

I see this a lot in discussions about climate change lately: country X is polluting just as much or more than us so we shouldn't do anything. This argument makes no sense.

Nice! I found a few more:

Lo-Fi

Daniel Kelly

Uses Godot.
Makes a proprietary game.

Is Facebook planning to do that?

My favorite song! Do you guys know any good covers or remixes?

We weren't attacking anybody. But I'm stick of people defending companies that take away our freedom.

We should celebrate Linux becoming more inclusive and easier to use not scream at other people for making a decision weather it was informed or not.

Why should I be happy that proprietary software is easier to use? I want to destroy it. I want to live in a free society.

I try to be helpful and friendly to newcomers but straight up telling people they should feel bad for making a choice doesn’t fix anything or making negative remarks on something someone is excited about.

If we don't inform people about this, it will get even worse. Nothing will stop other companies from doing the same.

Nvidia is trying to make more of their driver open source, the very thing you guys get a hard on about when you complain about it. It’s for the same reason AMD is open source(free labor and vulnerability patches) but still good because better experience.

But they aren't free software yet. So there is nothing to be grateful for yet. Right now they are taking away their user's freedom. People deserve to be able to control their own computers.

And guess what, I own an amd cpu and even I can’t ignore them artificially moving the price of their new cups and gpus up the price stack while neglecting to release cheaper more obtainable parts like they used to. It’s almost like they’re all greedy companies and your stiffie for AMD cards are unwarranted.

Get fucking real, instead of getting bent you should shop for hardware like you’d shop for a toaster oven the features you want, the best value, for the cheapest price.

This is an issue of ethics. It's not about price or features: https://piped.video/watch?v=Ag1AKIl_2GM

The attitude towards Nvidia is toxic considering some people need it for work and other people just don’t have the choice to switch.

Have you ever considered that we are in this mess, because of people like you? Nvidia is abusing their users and instead of admitting that, you choose to defend them and make up excuses for them. Think about what you are doing. As we speak there is somebody else somewhere making the same excuses for Microsoft, Apple, Google or any other shitty company. Nobody wants to prevent those companies from making money, we just want them to do it in an ethical way. If not, they can fuck off.

It's important to point out that AMD isn't perfect either (I don't know about Intel), since it requires you to install proprietary firmware. But it's obviously a huge improvement, since it doesn't require proprietary drivers. If we forced Nvidia to do what AMD does, we would be in a much better position. So if you care about freedom, Nvidia is the last company you should choose.

CUDA + Machine Learning applications

AMD has HIP or Rocm, which unlike CUDA is free software. Any program that uses proprietary CUDA libraries is proprietary.

Updating either the kernel or ROCm has a 50-50 chance of completely breaking Cycles

That sucks, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't work. I'm on Debian stable and it works fine for me, except for weird crashes from time to time.
