  • it is what it is.

    Isn’t the whole point of git that the repo is cloned in a million places. You can switch the remote repo really easily?

    Maybe i’m wrong; I stopped using github years ago. And I don’t do a lot of collaborative stuff, so I’m happy with just local git + rsync, local backups for most things. Maybe it has loads of unique features I’ve never noticed.

    I’m sure there are ways to scrape other data off the platform too. For example:
    https://docs.codeberg.org/advanced/migrating-repos/

    I’m not saying the alternatives are necessarily better for every project. Maybe github really is best for some - but it is a choice of the project to use github. They can move if they prefer the set of features of another repository.

    I’m not convinced by anyone using “critical mass” justification for choosing github, that sounds like stockholm syndrome even though you have a key to the door.
    “Too lazy to switch” that’s legitimate; if a wee bit dissapointing.
    “Doesn’t allow my special sauce proprietary licence” - well . . .




  • I’d guess they’d need to figure out whatever apple did with it’s arm chips.
    efficient use of many-cores and probably some fancy caching arrangement.

    It’ll may also be a matter of financing to be able to afford (compete with intel, apple, amd, nvidia) to book the most advanced manufacturing for decent sized batches of more complex chips.

    Once they have proven reliable core/chip designs , supporting more products and a growing market share, I imagine more financing doors will open.

    I’d guess risc-v is mostly financed by industry consortia maybe involving some governments so it might not be about investor finance, but these funders will want to see progress towards their goals. If most of them want replacements for embedded low power arm chips, that’s what they’re going to prioritise over consumer / powerful standalone workstations.

    are you in europe/EU? (judging by currency symbol)
    what about talking to the relevant GDPR authority?

    there should be a clear route of complaint.

    start by submitting a subject access request
    " what infomation do you hold about me, or that you can link to me?"
    “give me a copy”
    " what procesing are you doing with it"
    " have you shared it? with whom?"

    so this process in iself should reveal all processing that they think youve consented to - gives you a basis to challenge.

    if they lie to you, that’s anothet offence.
