Arm acquisition

[jiyong]

Open your eyes and open your brain.

right, even the language as that sectarians use. "Wouldn't you want to talk with us about our savior "Linux" and "RISCV"? Open your brain, close your 4ss". f&cking come on!

Linus started something that was irrelevant and absolutely out of reality.

why should I care? what relation this sugary tale has to the biggest HW merger, which is the topic of this "extremely" useful thread? Ah, right, "witnesses" don't care what people around talk about, they have the only one topic in their minds - delusional fantasies about their obsession, "freedumb", in this case. let me be honest with you - I am sick of this nonsense now.

Look where Linux is now.

let me see. cheapo, underdeveloped, messy mediocrity used for outsourcing and offloading spendings by big companies? at the expense of quality. faceless, inefficient web servers, and awful crapdroid eating up resources af and still being a useless sh1t.

Linux is just one example and RISC-V can become another example.

"can" be is not "is". and even if it becomes a thing, it won't be what you fantasizers imagine - sweet dreams "open" thingy, it will be stuffed with what their makers see the need to put over there. full of "closed" "system controllers/guards/engines/security/crypto/blobs/firmware" etc. just for their benefit and what they think - their clients. needless to say, both of those couldn't care less about your pink unicorn freedom.

You should care, because this big acquisition can have big implications.
You call us delusional, based on what?
It's only hyperbole and no facts.

As you noticed, Linux is running on an overwhelming majority of web servers and mobile devices.
How on earth is that possible with underdeveloped, messy mediocrity?

Just fyi, SiFive gets a CEO that is a veteran in the chip industry (Qualcomm hedging their bets?):

Imagination Technologies is still on the RISC-V bandwagon, even after signing a (new) deal with Apple (perhaps they learned Apple is not a reliable customer).

When you still don't see the writing on the wall, time to open your eyes.
