  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    It's necessary for my very important hobby of generating anime nudes.

    CUDA isn't the responsibility of AMD to chase; it's the responsibility of Nvidia to quit being anticompetitive.

    It's also not my problem either. I don't give a shit what nvidia or AMD does, I just want to be able to run AI stuff on my rig in as open-source a manner as is possible.

    ...in as open-source a manner as is possible.

    And that means "not with CUDA," because CUDA is proprietary.

    This is a semantic argument I don't feel like getting into. I don't give a shit what library it is -- I want AMD to be able to crunch pytorch as well as nvidia.

    The fact that CUDA is proprietary to Nvidia isn't even slightly "semantics;" it's literally the entire problem this thread is discussing. CUDA doesn't work on AMD because Nvidia doesn't allow it to work on AMD.
