So who are these douches that took down the nvnews site?

[Gusar]

Hello,

We're very sorry for the inconvenience that this is causing. We're currently working on putting up our own UNIX support forums and retrieving the data from the now-disabled NvNews UNIX forums. As you know, we're also currently having forum issues of our own so the timing is a little unfortunate, but we hope to be able to provide a new set of official support forums soon.

In the meantime and until this is resolved, please send your feedback and bug reports to linux-bugs@nvidia.com. I will update this topic as soon as there is news.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience. We really value your participation and I hope to see you on the new forums as soon as they're up.

Thanks,
- Pierre-Loup Griffais

Thank you for this info, sounds great.

Fuck you nvidia.

Either provide specifications to the nouveau developers or GTFO.

Nobody in his right mind wants your piece of shit and broken blob.

Except the 99% of us who do.

Douches like yourself who say they love "open source" but then support something shitty like the nvidia blob, something that causes developers a lot of grief.

You guys are the open source hypocrites of the Linux community.

Michael, you seriously need to ban asdx!

being a dick to developers whom are trying to communicate with users in the phoronix forums should be deeply frowned upon!

asdx, doesn't have respect for anyone in these forums and is only here to cause trouble.

You don't have respect for the nouveau devs also, you called nouveau a "garbage".

And no, I don't respect the nvidia people, they are not worth of any respect. All they cause is grief to the Linux developers. I hope nvidia burns in fucking hell.

But I've never claimed I'm an open-source-at-all-costs guy. I generally want to use what works the best and in some areas, for me, OSS is more important than in other areas. Drivers is one of those areas where I have no problem accepting binary versions from manufacturers.

When I bought my video card I knew the deal... and I made my purchase because I felt it was worth it.

And us software devs do not require open-source drivers to get our jobs done "without grief". That is such a whiny excuse. I'm not saying that working with a black box is always the most pleasant; depends on the APIs and documentation and the ability to communicate with the providers.

Ok I apologize for calling you a "douche" and reacting that way, sorry.

we've been over this in the other thread; there happens to be a difference between saying nouveau is garbage (which i didn't say) vs. nouveau is garbage compared to the nvidia blob (which is exactly what i said). asdx, you are being VERY dishonest and if you think i am not going to point out your deceit - you would be wrong.

if you don't like nvidia, fine. Then don't purchase their products, but stop wasting everyone else' time by attacking developers and users who visit these forums. You seem to be under the impression that your opinion is all that matters, where i am sure most people can read your comments and come to the conclusion (fairly easily) that you and your opinions are a waste of space.

They are not, I am free to express my dissatisfaction with nvidia and so I will, if you don't like it, feel free to ignore it.

And yes, my next card will be from Intel and AMD, I'm not giving my hard earned money to Nvidia, EVER again, because they don't support Linux the way I want to see them supporting it.

And their excuses for not providing specifications are lame. What? Intel and AMD are not losing money by supporting Linux and open source.

Please just go away nvidia. You have failed the entire Linux community.
