Exactly. The article says that 90% of hardware doesn't run on it, but in reality, 100% of hardware doesn't run on it. Only Qemu supports it, which is an emulator (and very slow to emulate RiscV in my experience -- latest version we tried with my husband on a very fast PC).
The Orange Pi RV2 was the perfect introductory Risc-V SBC, everyone is going gaga for it, for being a good middle of the road solution for those who want to try Risc-V, and yet, Ubuntu won't support it (and even the current implementation is done by the Chinese, not by Canonical, so I wouldn't touch it).
So I'm not sure what they're thinking. My own conspiracy theory is that EITHER Canonical, OR Raspberry Pi (which are close geographically), are preparing RV23 hardware, so they want to undercut the competition that way.
When compatible hardware is available, it's expected that having packages built for RVA23 will have a big impact on performance. You can already see a big part of that with the vector (V) extension: running programs built without it is akin to using x86 programs without SSE or AVX. RVA23 is the first RVA profile that considers V mandatory rather than optional.
You might see a similar performance impact if you target something like RVA22+V instead of RVA23, but as far as I know the only hardware systems that'd benefit from that are the Spacemit ones (OPi RV2, BPI-F3, Jupiter) while that'd still leave behind VisionFive 2, Pioneer, P550/Megrez, and even an upcoming processor UltraRISC announced recently. The profiles aren't exactly intended to be used for those kinds of fine-tuned combinations and it's possible some of the other RVA23 extensions (Zvbb, Zicond, etc.) might have a substantial impact too.
Hardware vendors want to showcase their system having the best performance it can, so I expect Ubuntu's aim is to have RVA23 builds ready before RVA23 hardware so that they'll be the distro of choice for future hardware, even if that means abandoning all existing RISC-V users. imo it would've been better to maintain separate builds for RV64GC and RVA23 but I guess they just don't care enough about existing RISC-V users to maintain two builds.
Source : I have a Banana-Pi SBC banana-pi.org/en/banana-pi-sbcโฆ and... it works, running Linux proper, with a desktop environment, which is in itself pretty cool IMHO but damn, you have to be patient. That being said "just" already being at that stage on economically affordable hardware is amazing. We are probably not far, say few years at most, with usable RISC-V chips for mundane tasks, e.g. text authoring, coding, Web browsing, but don't expect compilation of a browser, Blender, or gaming on this for few more years. IMHO it will go fast because it's catching up so the path is rather well laid down, which is much harder than innovating and pushing the envelope.

I wonder if the US is trying to slow down the development of RISCV in order to mantain egemony over chip production. I think RISCV poses a big "security" flaw for them being totally open source.
I guess it depends what you mean by "chip production".
AFAICT mostly via Chip War (2022) and reading a bit on the topic there are few bottlenecks, e.g chip design IP like ARM (UK) or lithography machines like ASML (NL) or high efficiency chip production like TSMC (Taiwan) but overall the grip from the US is mostly on democratization and scale with AMD, NVIDIA, Broadcom or even Intel, namely making a LOT of chips, not necessarily high end (some are) or mobile (also some), for a relatively low price. What I mean is that China is already claiming that they are producing about on-par IPS with e.g. Loongson.
So yes there are for sure incumbents based in the US that do not want RISCV and overall open architectures to make significant progress but is it fair to call them "the US" I'm not sure. Are they heavily leaning on US lawmakers to get their positions strengthened? Maybe. Maybe they do not yet do so simply because they don't believe it's a threat yet, nor it might be ever be.
I believe that in chip production you can lock production via innovation but also, like in other sectors, solely with the supply chain. ASML is powerful because they basically own their markets but also because who would contract with newcomers versus a very well established company that can provide all the insurances imaginable that they will indeed deliver on time a specific amount? Why risk it when you are already contracting with the leader?
Sure there is a potential innovator dilemma but what could prevent e.g. NVIDIA or Intel to switch to RISC-V if somehow they can dominate there too thanks to both their existing expertise but also supply chain stronghold?
Being an open source architecture gives everyone (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and basically everyone else the US doesn't like, which apparently is most of world) the freedom to innovate at a fast pace, this is what I mean by security flaw. My thought that they could somewhat try to slow down the development is based on the rational thinking that 1. They are actually leading the chip develpment and 2. if someday everyone gets high performance chips (which is still not the case with RISCV yet) than everyone can get better defense industries, better intelligence systems, better military equipment. I'm not implying that they are actively doing it but that it might be in their interest to do so to maintain some kind of military egemony over their enemies, or at least to never be in a significant gap with anyone.
Risc v is an instruction set architecture not a chip design, the actual hardware implementation of any given risc v processor won't necessarily be open source and available to all, it's just a guarantee that if the spec is implemented then code compiled for risc v will run on a RISC V processor.
China has had access to x86 for years, they've not been able to implement a chip on par with current gen AMD or Intel chips.

Demande de destitution du Prรฉsident Emmanuel Macron en vertu de lโarticle 68 de la Constitution
ร lโattention des parlementaires de lโAssemblรฉe nationale et du Sรฉnat,
Nous, citoyens franรงais, adressons cette demande de destitution du Prรฉsident de la Rรฉpublique Emmanuel Macron, sur le fondement de lโarticle 68 de la Constitution, en raison de manquements graves et rรฉpรฉtรฉs ร ses devoirs, incompatibles avec lโexercice de sa fonction. Son action, marquรฉe par des atteintes aux principes dรฉmocratiques, des abus de pouvoir et des dรฉcisions mettant en pรฉril la sรฉcuritรฉ nationale et europรฉenne, justifie pleinement lโactivation de cette procรฉdure exceptionnelle.
Violation du principe dรฉmocratique et atteinte aux libertรฉs fondamentales
Le Prรฉsident Emmanuel Macron a fait preuve dโun autoritarisme croissant, bafouant les principes dรฉmocratiques et le rรดle du Parlement. Parmi les faits les plus marquants : โข Usage abusif de lโarticle 49.3 pour imposer des rรฉformes majeures, notamment la rรฉforme des retraites, sans consultation parlementaire, restreignant ainsi le dรฉbat dรฉmocratique. โข Rรฉpression violente des mouvements sociaux, en particulier lors des manifestations des Gilets jaunes et des mobilisations contre la rรฉforme des retraites, dรฉnoncรฉe par des instances internationales telles que le Conseil de lโEurope et lโONU. โข Affaiblissement des corps intermรฉdiaires (syndicats, associations, รฉlus locaux), rรฉduisant les contre-pouvoirs et la participation citoyenne ร la prise de dรฉcision.
Gestion autoritaire du pouvoir et mรฉpris des institutions โข Contournement du Parlement et concentration excessive des pouvoirs entre les mains du Prรฉsident et dโun cercle restreint de conseillers. โข Nominations controversรฉes ร des postes stratรฉgiques, favorisant une gouvernance opaque et des conflits dโintรฉrรชts. โข Affaiblissement des services publics (hรดpital, รฉducation, justice) par des rรฉformes imposรฉes sans dialogue social rรฉel, au dรฉtriment du bien commun.
Engagements internationaux dangereux et politique รฉtrangรจre irresponsable
Les rรฉcentes dรฉclarations et dรฉcisions du Prรฉsident Macron concernant la Russie et la guerre en Ukraine constituent une escalade dangereuse, risquant dโimpliquer directement la France dans un conflit majeur : โข Dรฉclaration sur une possible extension de la dissuasion nuclรฉaire franรงaise ร lโEurope, exposant la France ร des risques accrus de confrontation avec la Russie. โข Ouverture ร lโenvoi de troupes europรฉennes en Ukraine, initiative considรฉrรฉe par la Russie comme un acte de guerre, augmentant le risque dโescalade militaire. โข Autorisation de frappes ukrainiennes sur le sol russe avec des missiles franรงais, brisant le principe de non-belligรฉrance et mettant directement en danger la France en tant que cible potentielle.
Ces prises de position irresponsables exposent la France ร des reprรฉsailles et augmentent le risque dโun conflit gรฉnรฉralisรฉ en Europe. Elles dรฉmontrent une gestion hasardeuse de la politique รฉtrangรจre, mettant en pรฉril la sรฉcuritรฉ des Franรงais.

Conclusion
Les actions du Prรฉsident Emmanuel Macron constituent une atteinte grave aux principes dรฉmocratiques, aux libertรฉs fondamentales et ร la souverainetรฉ nationale.
Son approche autoritaire et son mรฉpris des institutions, combinรฉs ร des dรฉcisions irresponsables sur la scรจne internationale, exposent la France ร des risques majeurs, tant sur le plan intรฉrieur quโextรฉrieur.
Nous demandons donc aux parlementaires dโinitier sans dรฉlai la procรฉdure de destitution prรฉvue par lโarticle 68 de la Constitution, afin de garantir la prรฉservation des principes rรฉpublicains et la sรฉcuritรฉ de la nation.
France has announced a โhistoricโ accord with New Caledonia in which the overseas territory, rocked by deadly separatist violence last year, would remain French but be declared a new state.
โA State of New Caledonia within the Republic: itโs a bet on trust,โ the French president, Emmanuel Macron, posted on X on Saturday, hailing a โhistoricโ agreement.
Receiving the signatories later, the president said that โafter two agreements and three referendums, New Caledonia, through what you have signed, is opening a new chapter in its future in a peaceful relationship with Franceโ.
Macron had called for talks to break a deadlock between forces loyal to France and those wanting independence. New Caledonian elected officials, as well as political, economic and civil society leaders, gathered near Paris to hammer out a constitutional framework for the territory.
After 10 days of talks, the parties agreed that a โState of New Caledoniaโ should be created.
Manuel Valls, the minister for overseas territories, called it an โintelligent compromiseโ that maintains links between France and New Caledonia, but with more sovereignty for the Pacific island.
The priority now is New Caledoniaโs economic recovery.
Last yearโs violence, which claimed the lives of 14 people, is estimated to have cost the territory 2bn euros ($2.3 bn), shaving 10% off its gross domestic product, he said.
The French prime minister, Francois Bayrou, said Saturdayโs deal โ which still requires parliamentary and referendum approval โ was of โhistoric dimensionsโ.
Home to about 270,000 people and located nearly 17,000km (10,600 miles) from Paris, New Caledonia is one of several overseas territories that remain an integral part of France.
It has been ruled from Paris since the 1800s, but many indigenous Kanaks still resent Franceโs power over their islands and want fuller autonomy or independence.
Unrest broke out in May 2024 after Paris planned to give voting rights to thousands of non-indigenous long-term residents. Kanaks feared this would leave them in a permanent minority, crushing their chances of winning independence.
As part of the agreement, New Caledonia residents will in future only be allowed to vote after having lived 10 years on the archipelago.
The last independence referendum in New Caledonia was held in 2021, and was boycotted by pro-independence groups over the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Kanak population.
It was the latest of three since 2018, all of which rejected New Caledonian independence. Since the 2021 referendum however, the political situation in the archipelago has been deadlocked.
Macron declared in early June he wanted a โnew projectโ for New Caledonia.
The 13-page agreement announced on Saturday calls for a New Caledonian nationality, and the possibility for residents there to combine that status with French nationality.
Under the deal, a โState of New Caledoniaโ would be enshrined in Franceโs constitution, and other countries could recognise such a state.
The deal also calls for an economic and financial recovery pact that would include a renewal of the territoryโs nickel processing capabilities.
Both chambers of Franceโs parliament are to meet in the fourth quarter of this year to vote on approving the deal, which is then to be submitted to New Caledonians in a referendum in 2026.
Nuking potatoes as a cooking method reduces the transformation of starches to sugar in the potato during cooking...as compared to longer cooking methods, oven roasting and boiling.
Also when you refridgerate a potato after cooking, then eat it, the blood sugar response is attenuated.

Most file managers I've encountered default to icon view. One of the first things I do is set the default to detailed list view. Might be a preference for seeing names and dates over many identical folder icons, or just an old habit from using Windows. But I'd be curious to hear about the benefits of icon view and why it's usually the default in Linux GUI file managers.
What does everyone else use and any reasons to prefer one over the other?
All jokes aside, its personal preference. If you're working in a dense file tree, you probably need the info that details view gives you. Icon view really only matter for media.
I work in a design industry that requires a lot of source files so I end up having to constantly switch. Lists when Iโm looking for the relevant folder, or looking for a particular file based on name, or icons if Iโm looking for something based on image. Thereโs no consistent way to switch between them with a keyboard shortcut among different OSs, either.
I have it on grid view :3.. just cause it can fit a lot more files into the same screen space
In list view I have to scroll to see all the files in my home folder, and in grid view it only takes like half of the available space, if I have the app maximized
I mostly prefer Detail view, but I enable Icon view in Videos, Photos, and Music folders so I can see previews.
Iโm guessing most file managers have similar behavior, but on XFCE Thunar, Iโm able to set detail as the default but have it remembery choice per folder.
I prefer details since it's easier for me to scan visually, with my eyes only having to go straight down, to find either a name, date, or size. Sorting I also find more intuitive. However, I prefer icon view for my pictures and videos folders
For some reason, I canโt ever find a view that feels like โlist viewโ from Windows OS. That would be my preference. Detail view is useful in specific conditionsโsuch as troubleshooting or in search results. As is icon view (mostly for images).
I use Krusader on Linux which I don't think has icon view.
When I have to use something else (eg Windows Explorer at work), obviously I prefer detailed list view. I like seeing things like the last modified date.
I think it heavily depends on the files one has to browes the most. I deal with text files all the time, so i dont need an icon to jump in my face telling me, that its a text file.
The media-, design people I know love the previews that icons give them, because its much easier to spot the image file, they are looking for while scanning through a directory
When I am not on the terminal, I use list/detail view all the time. In the details most of the time only last modification date is relevant to me. I always make the list icons one step smaller as the default and sort directories before files in Nautilus.
I don't need thumbnails. When I need to see pictures, I open them with the now new image viewer in Gnome and use the arrow keys to go through, if I am unsure what I am searching for. I most cases I go by file name.
The last time I found icon view useful was in Mac OS 9. There were three main characteristics that made it useful that no current systems have AFAIK:
The icon grid was tight (32 pixels) and you could either snap items to that grid or place them freely.
Window sizes and places were directly associated with folders. (There was no "browser-style" single-window mode.)
File names used dynamic spacing. Longer names would occupy multiple grid spaces as needed.
These factors meant that every folder had a consistent and potentially unique size, placment, and layout.
OS X took the Finder and either ruined or neglected everything good about it. Windows explorer has always been garbage. Never found a Linux file manager with a compelling icon view either (though to be fair, I've never looked all that hard). The lack of system-level metadata for layout kind of mandates an abstraction between a directory and its display.
I mean that an individual folder will always look the same (consistent), and also look distinctly different from any other folder (unique) if that's how you arranged it. So you could identify a folder instantly.
Everything in list view looks the same at a glance, and most file managers don't retain a folder window's size and placement. Modern macOS kiiiind of does but you have to fight it if you don't want a single-window browsing UI.
I wish i had enough time to RE the Alien game on Commodore 64 and recreate it somehow, just with a more intuitive interface. It's such an insane game for the time, ahead of its time in multiple ways.
Like, look how insane this game was: - A random character from the movie would be the infected crew member and birth the alien - A random character would be the android that would try to make your survival fail - You had multiple ways to win: killing the alien (very hard but doable), flushing the alien to space, escaping the nostromo with the shuttle after activating the self-destruct sequence (but you had to bring the cat with you) - Alien could go through vent, so do you - The characters could ignore your orders if they were too stressed
The replayability was absolutely insane for a game from 1984.

While browsing the fediverse I come across more and more accounts that seem ... a bit off, a little uncanny. The stuff they post seems random, their comments slightly weird. What's going on, is the fediverse being overrun by bots? Or am I as a fanatic anti-AI person just losing my mind and seeing the enemy everywhere?
I hate the fact that I now question every interaction that seems a bit off - it seems such a stupid waste of my time and I'm afraid I might just end up blocking real people who happen to express themselves in a strange way - as a neurodivergent person I know how bad I would feel about being ostracized as 'too strange to be real'.

Documentation of Lemmy.ml's Extremism [Megathread]
Good job everyone blocking and boycotting .ml! It's having an effect, users are noticing and MAUs on their comms are falling!
And for anyone asking "Why are we boycotting/blocking lemmy.ml?" Here's a quick recap:
Lemmy.ml is an instance run by admins who are hardcore tankies and will enforce their ideology on their instance through various means from allowing (and pushing it themselves) propaganda (Such as Russia being justified in some way to invade Ukraine) and known propaganda outlets (Like RT) to removing content on their instance critical of their favored authoritarian regimes such as Russia or China and even banning users for such speech or speech critical of them if it's off their instance (Just like the Reddit mods of ol!).
If it was just some random instance it would have been defederated from long ago like the rest of the "Tankie Triad" (Hexbear and Lemmygrad), but they've positioned lemmy.ml as the "flagship" instance and abused that position and influence to become large enough to keep other instances from defederating from them.
Which I believe is harmful to the Lemmy-verse's overall growth and outside reputation. I have seen it come up before on Reddit threads (and other testimonials from people who came back and tried it again) that "They tried Lemmy but it was a bunch of tankies and went back to Reddit"
I don't know about you, but I'd prefer Lemmy to not end up with the reputation for being "Tankie Central " or even worse "Voat 2.0".
So if you haven't joined the boycott yet, join today and help us foster a better healthier Lemmy-verse!

You can already see a big part of that with the vector (V) extension: running programs built without it is akin to using x86 programs without SSE or AVX. RVA23 is the first RVA profile that considers V mandatory rather than optional.
You might see a similar performance impact if you target something like RVA22+V instead of RVA23, but as far as I know the only hardware systems that'd benefit from that are the Spacemit ones (OPi RV2, BPI-F3, Jupiter) while that'd still leave behind VisionFive 2, Pioneer, P550/Megrez, and even an upcoming processor UltraRISC announced recently. The profiles aren't exactly intended to be used for those kinds of fine-tuned combinations and it's possible some of the other RVA23 extensions (Zvbb, Zicond, etc.) might have a substantial impact too.
Hardware vendors want to showcase their system having the best performance it can, so I expect Ubuntu's aim is to have RVA23 builds ready before RVA23 hardware so that they'll be the distro of choice for future hardware, even if that means abandoning all existing RISC-V users. imo it would've been better to maintain separate builds for RV64GC and RVA23 but I guess they just don't care enough about existing RISC-V users to maintain two builds.

Source : I have a Banana-Pi SBC banana-pi.org/en/banana-pi-sbcโฆ and... it works, running Linux proper, with a desktop environment, which is in itself pretty cool IMHO but damn, you have to be patient. That being said "just" already being at that stage on economically affordable hardware is amazing. We are probably not far, say few years at most, with usable RISC-V chips for mundane tasks, e.g. text authoring, coding, Web browsing, but don't expect compilation of a browser, Blender, or gaming on this for few more years. IMHO it will go fast because it's catching up so the path is rather well laid down, which is much harder than innovating and pushing the envelope.

in reply to WhiteQuasar • • •I guess it depends what you mean by "chip production".
AFAICT mostly via Chip War (2022) and reading a bit on the topic there are few bottlenecks, e.g chip design IP like ARM (UK) or lithography machines like ASML (NL) or high efficiency chip production like TSMC (Taiwan) but overall the grip from the US is mostly on democratization and scale with AMD, NVIDIA, Broadcom or even Intel, namely making a LOT of chips, not necessarily high end (some are) or mobile (also some), for a relatively low price. What I mean is that China is already claiming that they are producing about on-par IPS with e.g. Loongson.
So yes there are for sure incumbents based in the US that do not want RISCV and overall open architectures to make significant progress but is it fair to call them "the US" I'm not sure. Are they heavily leaning on US lawmakers to get their positions strengthened? Maybe. Maybe they do not yet do so simply because they don't believe it's a threat yet, nor it might be ever be.
I believe that in chip production you can lock production via innovation but also, like in other sectors, solely with the supply chain. ASML is powerful because they basically own their markets but also because who would contract with newcomers versus a very well established company that can provide all the insurances imaginable that they will indeed deliver on time a specific amount? Why risk it when you are already contracting with the leader?
Sure there is a potential innovator dilemma but what could prevent e.g. NVIDIA or Intel to switch to RISC-V if somehow they can dominate there too thanks to both their existing expertise but also supply chain stronghold?

in reply to WhiteQuasar • • •Risc v is an instruction set architecture not a chip design, the actual hardware implementation of any given risc v processor won't necessarily be open source and available to all, it's just a guarantee that if the spec is implemented then code compiled for risc v will run on a RISC V processor.
China has had access to x86 for years, they've not been able to implement a chip on par with current gen AMD or Intel chips.
