We weren't attacking anybody. But I'm stick of people defending companies that take away our freedom.
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.
If we don't inform people about this, it will get even worse. Nothing will stop other companies from doing the same.
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.
This is an issue of ethics. It's not about price or features: https://piped.video/watch?v=Ag1AKIl_2GM
It's not a battle you fight with random strangers. No one wins and you end up looking like jerk for initiating the conflict.
Here's a tip, what good is open source AMD drivers if 0% of it can be reused outside of AMD products. Isn't that as open and free as the mesa drivers or could it only benefit the community if and made their architecture open source too.
I see no difference between AMD and Nvidia because the drm for AMD cards is the hardware same as Nvidia's self hosted open drivers they both use proprietary firmware one of them is just on the card. Stop shilling for AMD, it doesn't look good.
