Chances are (and I’m up for being corrected on this). The bears are being culled to maintain population levels.

In all areas of the world, human interaction with nature means we’ve upset the usual ecosystem balance. We’ve moved predator/prey ecosystems, we’ve changed their sizes and we’ve decided there are big areas we just don’t want the predators. Culling/management is necessary to minimise our further impact.

These bears are going to be shot with or without the furs being used. They’re not being killed so someone can have the fancy hats.

Blast freezer. It’s about as close as we’ll get any time soon. Not an affiliate or anything, just googled and found this bugger (about microwave sized).

That’s just how the world works.

And that’s kind of the discussion here.

Some people are annoyed at the Linux Devs because “fuck it, everyone breaks the law and it doesn’t matter”. Some people are annoyed at Nvidia because they’d like to uphold or social contracts.

In don’t think it’s naive to want to live in a world and support a society that supports the law. I do think we have bigger issues that people are happy with this behaviour and are actively defending it.

If your livelihood depends on a company breaking the law, you’ve got other issues.

Nvidia could choose to follow the law, their customers could choose to support them in that.

Part of the reason you can’t replace Nvidia, is because they get ahead by breaking the law. This makes it harder to compete with them.

Now you’re stuck with only Nvidia, and welcome to monopoly hell. A bit exaggerated I know, but it’s his it happens.

Nvidia could choose to improve performance using non-illegal tactics.

They haven’t.

I’m happy to live in a society wherev we support those upholding the law.

don’t expect that it will make them popular with anyone who actually uses Nvidia drivers on Linux

The group to be annoyed at are Nvidia. Plain and simple.
