  • The RISC-V is an extensible ISA, so yes. All those vendor extensions are optional, when fabricating the processor, which can be replaced by other extensions over time.

    Both Intel and AMD have had vendor extensions in the designs that they no longer use, even ones that have been “retracted” (i.e whatever in the heck Intel is doing with their AVX extensions).

    But yeah, currently, there are a lot of proprietary extensions, which could still be declared as open hardware as well. So yeah.











  • Been using some extensions to get this done.

    Currently using Sidebar Tabs. I have gotten used to grouped tabs, which is something I don’t want to give up. I’ve mapped Ctrl+Space to open and close it, which is super satisfying.

    I switched from Sideberry, which was cool since it is so configurable, and that it can store and recall entire lists of links. I think this is a nice alternative to bookmarks, because it gives you a sort of link manifest, that you can even export.

    Mozilla’s attempt seems… lackluster in comparison, but it’s still under development. So eh. Thinking of going Librefox, Waterfox or even Floorp - though that would be like going ESR.

    Dan: “NOBODY’S GONNA NOTICE THE MURDER OF A WHISTLEBLOWER!!!”

    Kevin: “Well… it could be worse…”

    Dan: “…”

    Dan: “What do you mean it could be worse, Kevin…?”

    Kevin: “…”

    Dan: “KEVIN!!”

    Kevin: “Well, you know… you could pay an ex-marine suffering from PTSD to do a… you know…”

    Dan: “…A WHAT, KEVIN?!?”

    Kevin: “…a 3 for 1 special sale…”

    Dan: “…a what?”

    Kevin: “Well I’m saying, in all likelihood, it could get worse…”

    Dan: “…”
