    Yeah, the problem was not the original copyright law which gave incentive for coming up with new ideas by giving you rights to that idea for long enough that you can be profitable, the problem is that it’s been extended to the point that the people who came up with the idea are long dead and it’s still under copyright for massive corporations.


  • Yeah, I used a 1070 on arch for years without any issue, recently switched over to an Intel arc gpu and that gave me way more problems (admittedly most of it was my “fault” for being on an old mbr scheme, needing to enable rebar, and needing to switch from xorg to wayland… but that’s just what happens when a graphics card is so stable you don’t feel the need to reinstall your os or change anything major). I am not hired by Nvidia nor do I support their business practices when it comes to making development on Linux difficult or creating proprietary standards like cuda, just stating my personal experience with their drivers.





  • People have always been out for themselves, it’s not the fault of religion and religion is not the solution. Religion can give an outlet to those looking for structure and community in their lives, this can both be used for good and exploited in equal measure. The reason it feels more common that people are out for themselves is 3-fold: the internet has caused a weird bubble culture where you feel the need to make a name for yourself within the social media you are consuming especially with a growing population where it’s harder than ever to feel like you even matter, a growing divide in economic class where the people at the bottom feel the need to pull themselves up any means necessary, and an increased amount of rich people being given a platform to preach their success/luck to anyone they want as an additional status symbol whether or not it’s moral or even true
