  1. If anything, AROS and MorphOS urgently need a RISC-V port.

    The AmigaOS world needs to move to common hardware; PPC is no better than 68k in practical terms.

  2. Long term? Perhaps, if successful. I am hopeful.

    But, right now, XLibre[0] is available, ready for use and very active.

  3. Complements XLibre[0], an active fork of the X11 server from Xorg.

    XLibre is trying to advance the existing implementation which Xorg abandoned, whereas Phoenix is writing a new, compatible server from scratch.

  4. Imagine wasting CPU time with that, instead of watching a mkv file with mpv.

    Why would anyone pay to be treated like shit.

  5. >and are covering up the fact that digital ID is part of some international agreement that the public aren't privy to.

    It is indeed no coincidence that such a wave of censorship, attacks on privacy and authoritarianism is happening across the globe in sync.

  6. You're right.

    Still, hard to do w/o.

  7. Yep, the endgame is for the authority over your computing devices to be held by anybody but yourself.

    And no access to any network without using an approved device, your connection being of course fully tracked by a third party.

    Won't someone think of the children!

  8. This has been done for ages using photoshop and the like.

    It's just gonna be even easier going forward, using local models that will spread faster and farther than DeCSS and its equivalent forbidden numbers did back in the day.

    Can't put the genie back in the bottle.

  9. No more ISA lock-in.

    When the ISA is a standard, it becomes a commodity.

  10. I recapped a C64C I bought second hand recently, using premium Japanese 105C capacitors off the shelf on akihabara, minus the huge axial one I ordered a modern, extremely durable replacement for.

    I tested every cap I removed, all of them nichicons from the mid 80s. They all measured to spec.

    So it was kinda pointless at the end. Sure, it is going to be good for a few more decades, alongside the 1571 Ultimate II-L.

    (yes, I replaced the original PSU. I bought separate modern, safe 9vac and 5vdc PSUs and an adapter to join them into the C64 power connector)

  11. >To download the code you must agree to the terms of the license, which permits only non-commercial use and does not give you the right to license it to third parties by posting copies elsewhere on the web.

    Note this is a toxic license. Accepting it and/or reading of the code has potential for legal liability.

    Still, applaud releasing the source code, even if encumbered. Preservation is most important, and any legal teeth will eventually expire with the copyright.

  12. For deeper understanding of seL4's developments and the historical context in which it appeared, Gernot Heiser's blog[0].

  13. Thus Google gets the final word on whether an article is deleted.
  14. Except if Google decides otherwise.

    And then Wikipedia follows suit.

  15. In short, Google decides what stays in Wikipedia.

    Neat. Not.

  16. Today, it runs much better than Linux on that hardware.
  17. I got confused.

    It makes the cut for something else, x86-64v3.

    Which I thought was the baseline for Win11. Apparently, not the case.
