After time and time again being total jerks, even to the point of Linus Torvalds giving them the middle finger, Nvidia now does a 180 on their policies regarding open source drivers for Linux.

One might somehow suspect that this is connected to other recent announcements regarding Linux... Hum-de-hum..

it is actually funny when smaller companies force bigger ones to move.

Nvidia are pretty much just playing it safe and not taking any risks with their primary market, seeing as they are far from dominant in the mobile market and have no hand in the next-gen consoles at all.

"I also am Otherkin. Whenever autumn rolls around I can feel my kin-type slowly taking over my body. You must know, I identify as pumpkin. I can control it pretty good most of the time, but when September ends, I just cant hold it in anymore. Whenever Im outside I see my brothers and sisters being chopped into soup, coffee, donuts, cake, drinks, bread - ppl even cut human faces into their skin, making a mockery out of their noble appearance. When I see things like that I cant control my pumpkin urges anymore. My natural instincts kick in. I then sit down motionless, while getting bright orange." - Morgana L
