If we want to have computing freedom, we're going to need computers that are safe and don't lock us out. Having actually well designed architectures (x86 sure ain't it) would be nice too. RISC-V is a beam of hope: https://riscv.org/
- India is making progress on fabb'ing their own RISC-V chips https://fossbytes.com/linux-on-shakti-india-risc-v-processor-iitm/
- FOSDEM video on RISC-V https://fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/riscv/
Got other interesting RISC-V links?
@cwebber In what way would you expect a RISC-V to actually improve user experience.
I dont think ive ever been "locked out" of my computer because of my choice of cpu...
@cwebber Awesome. I'm an EE and a CE. Just havent had time to catch up on the RISC-V stuff. So this is right up my ally. Thanks for the info.
@freemo Happy to spread the good word! ;)
@freemo It's a libre specification for the Instruction Set Architecture: https://riscv.org/specifications/
