I got into #riscv when I found out that #ARM wasn’t as open as I thought it was.

Now that I’m learning more about it I’m finding out that RISC-V is awesome in so many ways in addition to being an open design.

I’m getting really excited about finding ways to work it into my designs...

@h @LinuxSocist @vertigo is love to have one of those #hifive to play with :)

Aside from that, I need to figure out how much FPGA I need to synthesize a Linux-capable RISC-V core.

I want to start making a RISC-V compute module for #rain one way or another 😁

@ultimape here’s my original post on the subject:

A friend of mine really liked the “Identity co-op” idea but has a slightly different implementation that we might be able to get off the ground.

He works with public libraries and proposed the idea of using libraries as identity providers, essentially using your library card to sign in to other online services.

It’s lasertime!

Not bad for a first try. Now back to the drawing app...

How do you feel about Rust (lang) for system/embedded/etc. programming?

Is it reasonable for targeting ARM, RISC-V, etc.?

@cobra2 no pix of the encounter but here’s what the shirt looks like:

When someone says “what is the point of #antifa?” or “what are they trying to achieve?”, I’m tempted to explain, but in every case so far that I’ve tried the person has no interest in understanding, and it’s just a waste of time and bytes.

This should be obvious to me. What is there to understand? It’s about stopping (anti) fascism (fa).

I think people are thrown by the idea that you can oppose something political without a lot of overhead.
