CUDA was always nakedly anti-competitive posturing - like literally everything else Nvidia chucked into their GPUs - and now they're saying the quiet part real fuckin' loud.

Hey, assholes! Turing completeness doesn't give a shit about hardware. Computing is computing! You literally cannot tell people how to run your code. Congratulations on making your proprietary horseshit the de facto standard. By all means, enjoy the mountains of cash you've extracted via that abuse. But the rest of us have shit to do, and we don't remember asking your permission.
