The problem, from what I understand, is that the fees apply retroactive. So your 2018 Unity game will now have to start paying

Hey boss Unreal is eating some of our market shares, what should we do?

Boss: Isn't obvious, we drive the company off the cliff. Duh

God executives are the dumbest mother fuckers

I'm talking about firing. Not imprisonment. And yes, if you fuck up big time, it's completely fine to be fired on the spot. She issued a search warrant for a journalist, in complete violation of State and Federal law.

She should have been removed immediately. Perfect example of everything wrong with the American justice system

Captain, as in head of the ship, not the rank. He was still Lt. Cmdr. Unless I'm missing remembering the episode

Honestly, I wish our governments would pump money and resources into open source operating systems

They do. The US NSA being of note with SE Linux.

It doesn't mean the Linux developers have to allow them to break the license agreement

Yes. Completely agree. The problem is, from my reading, is that Nvidia violated GPL by calling GPL functions as opposed to code stealing. The problem with GPL is that it forces everything to be GPL or you're in violation of the license. Link a GPL library, your code now has to be GPL. Called a GPL function, congratulations, your code has to be GPL. This critical fault in GPL has been brought up time and time again. Thankfully this issue is infrequently enforced. But that just means it becomes a ticking time bomb.

Let me be clear, I'm not defending Nvidia's actions. Just that in the blame game, GNU's toxic attitude should be called out

Please, hold all your "switch to Linux" comments

Linux is not as great a replacement as every one makes out to be. The community is hella toxic. Frequently leads to them shooting them selves in the foot. Right now they're trying to pick a fight with Nvidia because they dared to call Linux's sacred GPL syscalls

A valid and reasonable point. The problem is that often it spills out of it's original intent. The "think of children" argument springs to mind

The problem is the whole "give an inch, they take a mile." We don't know what rights this may take away from us in the future. So in the now, always question

Would love to see the LGBTQ+ community arm them selves. Be hilarious to watch the right wingers scrambling over each other to quickly get gun restrictions in place

Dude where the fuck were you when Katrina hit. New Orleans was left to rot because it is a black city.

Uhhh, is this real, cause if so, Ridley is not going to get any hardcore history buffs with this movie. They already have Waterloo, a movie that will literally take a whole army to top.
