That moment when your friend's rant about RISC-V ISA turns into the biggest VC infodump everIt's been 3 hours since the call started, we went through:-State of RISC-V ISA-Toolchains (GCC, LLVM)-Blobs-Firmware-ARM64-DRAM controllers-TF-Co-processors-SPI buses-Linux kernel-6502 and it's variations-Opcodes-Assembly-Bash-Writing emulatorsI love those guys :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

Benefits of using a fanless laptop with broken sleep: I can pull it out of my backpack and warm my hands :ablobcatcoffee: (In all seriousness though, I'm going to fix SOF, S3 and FPMCU on KOHAKU this weekend. I will also attempt to fix the trackpad, hopefully I won't slice my fingers open on that damn cover).

@marcan This is also true for kernelspace and bootloaders btw.ARM64 is very much a work in progress, and last LTS (6.1) was already "obsolete" by the time kernel 6.4 came out as it was missing many critical fixes for certain SoC vendors (but not only).Same goes for u-boot or grub. I worked with 2023.07 branch and kept hitting my head against a wall because of XHCI bugs (which I believe you fixed fairly recently).

(Un)popular opinion: I honestly wish we could go back to using one client (i.e Pidgin or Kopete) for all IMs.For some people out there it might be a history lesson, but just like now, we used to use multiple IM services for different social circles.- IRC- XMPP/Jabber- Google Talk/iChat- Localized services (i.e GG or TLEN in Poland)Just imagine that you could use Matrix, Discord, Telegram, Signal or whatever people use these days in a single app with coherent interface, that would use maybe like 200 - 500MB of RAM (assuming caching from Discord severs and what not).Instead of having each "webapp" open (which on my desktop usually accumulates to ~2GB of RAM usage idle), you could use a literal potato to talk to other people.I fondly remember using an ancient PDA (HTC TyTn II with Windows Mobile 6) in high school. It was an absolute marvel to use - mSD card, headphone jack (though via dongle, so how tables have turned), physical QWERTY keyboard and stylus.It served me for literal ages. I would use it to talk to my friends, watch movies, connect to server in my bedroom running FreeBSD 9.2 over SSH and so on.All of that on Qualcomm MSM7200 - 400MHz ARM11 (though not sure why I thought it was an XScale, weird) and 128MB of RAM.I know for a fact that most IM software is unnecessarily bloated, as my laptop lasts a loooot longer on battery if I don't use Discord on it.This opinion will once again will light my butt on fire, but I believe EU should force companies providing messaging services to open up their APIs and allow using 3rd party clients without ToS bullshit that discord is doing.

@szkodnix Tablet, actually :blobcatblep: https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/chromebook/discover/pdp-lenovo-chromebook-duet/sku-lenovo-chromebook-duet-4gb-64gbI got it from one of our contributors for 40EUR because he thought it was too slow, and because of me @BluRaf bought one for himself which cost him ~500PLN with folio, stylus and everything.~100EUR is a pretty good price for this hardware imo, got pressure-sensitive pen (works pretty well in krita!), SoC faster than RK3399 and cheaper than PineBook Pro.Not to mention better build quality and better software stack (we're working with folks from Collabora on this as we're new to ARM systems), we've made a bootloader that gets rid of depthcharge's complexity.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVKysTK_-XY

@szkodnix @BluRaf Not well, considering I only bootstrapped this install yesterday, with kernel patches from my tree.It very much is a work in progress, but we're already doing better than postmarketOS.Sound works correctly (although it makes a nasty noise while resuming from suspend), video codecs (sorta) work, gpu has proper power management = better performance.We need new patches for accelerometer/gyroscope and figure out why bluetooth crashes while tying to connect to any device. USB-C video output aaaaalmost works, hoping to get it working in time for #37c3.
