Pretty much, they are fundamentally both RPC flavors, so it's impossible for them to have different properties beyond more or less convenient tooling. It's always jarring to see th…

As a yet another filthy Russian, I don't understand all this eagerness to give people "traitor" (enemy of the people, 5th column and so on) labels. Especially since this is pretty …

That would be the amd64 driver port: https://wiki.freebsd.org/NvidiaFeatureRequests . For comparison, the first x86_64 driver version for Linux seems to be 1.0-4499 ( https://downl…

Java / OpenJDK never used semver in the first place. Also, large projects like Java have entire layers of different APIs, whose compatibility guaranties can't really be described w…

There is no different paradigm. Both GraphQL and "REST" as it's usually implemented are RPC protocols. GraphQL just doesn't pretend it is not.

Nvidia is completely boring and predictable.

FSF isn't vehemently opposed to permissive licenses either (they are merely discouraged), but that is the argument GP decided to bring here.

New cards are fully supported. Why do you think they aren't?

Native Linux stuff is not at all native for FreeBSD. If Nvidia suddenly decides to open their driver (to merge it into Linux), FreeBSD and Solaris support will be the first thing t…

> impression they stopped maintaining the FreeBSD driver. It's maintained while simultaneously not receiving any new features.

Personally, I think the put-down was quite on point. I don't see the point of flagging it, that just leaves the content to imagination.

Unfortunately, half-assed vendor support is still quite compelling compared to no vendor support.
