For what purpose a handful of trolls would require a datacenter? Or any server infrastructure at all, for that matter.

There is Hetzner for that.

You might want to provide the source for this. (The phrase is not directly googlable.)

We are not. Why would we?

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 those heated GraphQL vs REST APIs (as implemented in practice) vs gRPC discussions as if they are as different as, say, client-side CRDTs.

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 much the favorite communist/putinist activity. This is not a healthy mindset. At some point we'll have to admit different people might have different opinions on running the country.

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://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86-64/1.0-4499/) from 2003-09-02.

> FreeBSD got closed NVIDIA graphics driver support about a decade after Linux

Ahem, https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=94fc89fbfbc7cd8886...

> some game consoles used FreeBSD as a basis and had proprietary NVIDIA drivers written for them

You mean proprietary AMD drivers? (Only PlayStation 4 and 5 are based on FreeBSD.)

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 with a single number, no matter what versioning scheme they use.

I'd like my OS being deterministic, thank you.

> You're just trying your hardest to hate.

Manipulative much? I don't hate you (well, so far), you aren't being attacked, I'm just noting what a few informed people here don't like about your video. No, they aren't trolls. And, yes, everyone has different level of tolerance to exaggerations, of course.

> You don't remember when GTX 1080 Tis could be had on eBay for as cheap as $400-$450??

That's slightly above half of its retail price (when it was new) and roughly in the same ballpark as RTX 2070 MSRP. Is this really "dirt cheap"? Do you expect video cards to never depreciate then?

More to the point, I don't remember the market being saturated with used video cards in way that could put a dent in retail prices. They always seem to sell at comparable performance/$ ratio to new cards. I'm genuinely curious if I missed any trends.

> Remember a few years back when used mining cards flooded the market and you could get a decent GPU dirt cheap?

No, not at all. Any references?

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.

> Closed source GPU drivers are not ordinary drivers. They have a lot of quirks and workarounds for programs, especially games.

The quirks part is a bit of a meme. Mesa contains a few application-specific overrides here and there: https://github.com/mesa3d/mesa/blob/c62996796cc46f1a1406f365..., https://github.com/mesa3d/mesa/blob/a678ec9b8c057311ed7e9697.... The reason Linux drivers, including the one from Nvidia, have fewer quirks is simply that Linux has fewer 3d applications overall. Those quirks also reside in userspace driver parts and should not affect system stability.

> When you try to port these drivers as-is to another platforms, things get awry.

Again, quirks are a property of a relatively high-level userspace part of the driver. There is nothing hazardous about porting them.
