  • See the start of this post talking about device tree models vs boot time hardware discovery.

    There's no reason an arm chip/device couldn't support hardware discovery, but by and large they don't for a variety of reasons that can mostly be boiled down to "they don't want to". There's nothing about RISC-V that makes it intrinsically more suited to "PC style" hardware detection but the fact that it's open hardware (instead of Apple and Qualcomm's extremely locked down proprietary nonsense) means it'll probably happen a lot sooner.

  • There's also the fact that Arm doesn't really work with arbitrary PC style hardware. Unless this got fixed (and there have been some pushes) you have to pretty much hard code the device configuration so you can't just (for example) pull a failed graphics card and swap a new one and expect the computer to boot. This isn't a problem for phone (or to an extent: laptop) makers because they're happy to hard code that info. For a desktop, though, there's a different expectation.

    RiscV does support this, i believe, so in that sense it fits the PC model better.

  • Race was always a flawed idea. To be honest i think it's not that bad in a fantasy setting but it can also lead to some weird and uncomfortable stuff and i don't think there's a good reason to keep it.

    On the flip side, "ancestries" or backgrounds or whatever are a lot more flexible as a concept and let you do some cool stuff.

  • He already tried a coup once. He's incompetent, but give him four years...

    (Of course, very possible he just keels over dead by then, but Vance is more competent. Or at least, he'll listen to Daddy Peter Thiel who'll tell him what to do.)

  • It's not too late but they're not getting credit until they actually fucking do it and they deserve credit for just saying they want to do it without doing it.

    (Edit: And to be clear the credit they're going to get would be credit for doing the bare minimum, long after they promised to do it, long after they had multiple opportunities to do it.)
