Okay, but that's still partially on Nvidia for refusing to participate. They could have argued for explicit sync early in Wayland's development but they weren't at the table at all, so they got stuck with the technology that was decided on without them and had to argue for changes much later.

And they started off arguing for EGLStreams, but it didn't work well either. Explicit sync came later.

Wayland has a bunch of features that are so new they aren't in the stable distros yet.

Nvidia went from declaring they were never going to support Wayland to trying to force their own EGLStreams stuff on everybody to reluctantly accepting the standard that was developed without them and trying to make it work for their driver. They're playing catchup and it's entirely their own fault for refusing to cooperate with anybody.

They're moving more towards open source drivers now, probably because the people buying billions of dollars worth of GPUs to use on Linux servers for AI training have had words with Nvidia on the subject.

The foundry reminds me of Space Exploration's industrial furnace and casting machines.

Why won't the government just give them the money and trust that they'll do what they said? It worked out great paying companies to roll out fiber years ago, that's why we're all on reliable, high speed fiber internet today.

The free trial isn't a business model. It's a demo.

You only have a F2P model after you add the aggressive monetisation.

Okay, but if they packed it full of microtransactions and premium currency, it'd be a worse game.

Unless you mean you just want the publisher to make less money, which isn't an option they're going to be interested in.

I for one definitely feel like big corporations are pissing on me.

I mean, it's bits of configuration all over the place that I've built up over time. It isn't a single script on one machine, and you'd need to change a lot of things if you weren't running Slackware. I can't really copy and paste it all.
