> You're not kicked out if you "dare" (how brave!) ask a question about it. You're welcome to chat about it on #nonguix. Is it really that hard to accept that #guix is not #nonguix and that we don't discuss proprietary software on the main channels?

So... if I go to the official channel to discuss guix and I said the forbidden word "CUDA" I get kicked off? You wrote a sentence in a tone that implies it disagrees with what I said, but it just restates my point.

Guix puts ideology over the welfare of its users.

"CUDA" is not a forbidden word. Where does that idea come from?

Here: CUDA, CUDA, CUDA!

If you go to the official channels and ask about CUDA people like me will likely tell you that CUDA is proprietary software, so we don't cater to it in Guix. If you then acted all offended and angry that would be the end of my interactions with you; otherwise I'd tell you the right venue to ask for help with CUDA without starting a discussion of proprietary software on our main channels.

If that's not good enough for you then we're working on incompatible assumptions of how communities work. If you think you're entitled to discuss whatever you want on the community's channels then you're going to have a bad time. Life must be hard demanding of other people to humor you when they really don't want to.

No.

light_hue puts ideology over the welfare of the community.

PS: CUDA!

You acknowledge that I'm not allowed to talk about CUDA in the guix community but then are turning it into some sort of game?

This is the childish and dismissive attitude of the guix community.

I'm not replying anymore.
