Android gets a leg up from being built on a FLOSS base but I don't think it was the community that pushed Android to where it is today. That's taken a lot of money and resources from Google and it's phone partners investing in the slightly more open platform than Apple.

That's not really true. Yes avoiding complex instructions makes the front end easier to pipeline but there are lots of smarts in the backend to do prediction and scheduling to keep the execution units fed. The ISA might be free to use but no one is sharing their highly optimised server silicon architecture designs.

RISC-V's challenge is can they standardise the software ecosystem enough that things just work across a multitude of chip providers or does everything devolve into specialist distributions taking advantage of each manufacturers "special sauce" custom instructions.

Gaining design wins over Arm's microcontrollers for bespoke hardware was the easy bit. Replacing stuff in the server space is much harder and something that took Arm decades to make inroads into.

Ah is that what had broken my horseshoe graph? The custom graphs come up a unrecognised types whatever form I try.

Very handy site. Nice 🙂

I pay for it so the TV and web experience is ad free. I use PipePipe on my phone because the native client won't stop pushing shorts at you.

Do you think there is information YouTube wouldn't collect about you even if they could be better at selling ads to people based on it?

Do you live somewhere with data protection laws? If so you could request a dump of all personally identifying data they hold on you.

I think the most useful thing for this is hosting repos that suffer from constant DMCA takedowns. Emulators, ad-blockers, site revancers etc.

It's not like Android is especially open to drive-by contributions anyway. I don't think really changes much for the downstream consumers of the releases.

We'll go from Google sucking up all our data to another entity sucking up all our data and selling it to other people. How much funding does it take to keep Chrome running?

Magit is one of Emac's many superpowers.

These are all excellent ways someone can contribute to a project. Our project website has a repo anything can contribute to to make changes, even the blog entries are statically generated pages.

Pre-cut with comedy edges as well. But the methodology seemed valid as another poster said, giving cars the same limited eyesight as us seems like under engineering for safety.
