  • There’s three types of NVIDIA failures on Linux:

    A- The niche thing that doesn’t work for the group of people who use it.

    B- The specific card model that doesn’t work.

    C- The distro that for some reason is a nightmare to install the drivers.

    Each motive individually is not a lot of people, but all together it is way much more than AMD. Hence the difference.

    Also, if you have a type A failure card, there’s a probability that maybe it will be fixed eventually. But for type B, you’re out of luck. There’s a non-zero chance that your card will never work.

    Type C is entirely up to user error and distro effort. But it won’t help with type A and B. If NVIDIA of fails you, whether you can install the drivers on your distro or not, is irrelevant.

    Entirely different things, and I think the meme actually correctly corresponds to orthopedics. It’s a pediatric specialty, and unfortunately, most of the treatments are some form or another of restraining body parts so they grow straight. Hence the snake tied to the rod in order to remain straight instead of wrapping and slithering around.

    Not arguing here. But just want to point out that disability subculture usually arises as a survival response in the face of discrimination and segregation. Everyone has a need for community and a sense of belonging. When broad hegemonic culture rejects you and your presence, belonging is found in the one distinctive feature that is the cause for the rejection and the source of cohesion with your peers. See also gay subculture as a response to homophobia, US black culture as a response to racism, feminist sorority subculture in response to misogyny, etc. So it is not rare to see disability subculture as a response to ableism. These communities are very important for security and preservation of individuals. Just as everywhere else, security is always a trade-off with something else.



  • It’s a catch-22 situation. You are supposed to disclose if you wrote the thing you’re citing, but also cite in third person, and also it should be obfuscated for the peer review. So, what happens is that you write something like “in the author’s previous work (yourownname, 2017)…” then that gets censored by yourself or whoever is in charge of the peer review, “in (blank) previous work (blank)…”. Now, if you’re experienced in reviews you can probably guess it is the author of the paper you’re reviewing quoting themselves. But you still don’t know who it is, and you could never guess right whether it is Ruth Gotian or not. So you’re back to the tweet’s situation.
