149I like cycling, powerlifting, bad video games and metal.
Otherwise, I occupy my time with various bits in RISC-V land.

@tommythorn Sometimes I feel like a broken record, complaining about the same things all the time - but I'm more than a wee bit "interested" in how ACPI is going to deal with ISA extensions. They've made the same mistake of having a nigh-on unrestricted ISA string (at least per the ECR when I read it) as the method for communication. We are already off to a less than optimal start as the definitions don't match "riscv,isa" in DT land!

Looks like Linux v6.5 is going to be interesting for RISC-V, getting support for ACPI and for the Vector extension :)

@pdp7 I need to convince someone to give me one ;) ;) https://noc.social/@risc_v/110514273692604773

Don't usually like talking about things I've done, _but_ v6.5 should contain a "soc maintainer handbook" that I've written. My naive hope is that it is at least a help towards getting people going with maintaining the new platforms that are popping in RISC-V land.

@tommythorn I didn't email this person, they're just subscribed to the list or w/e, and I got this message from them in English and German at different points in the evening. I don't understand what the attack is here. They might avoid junk at the expense of never getting emails from the list, because why does anyone on the list care about whether they get it or not?

Yes, thanks for this amazing email that I've got tonight in multiple languages because someone signed up to a mailing list with this garbage enabled.

Feels like a shame to put a brake on a track bike, but at least it has me back out riding it. No longer feel self sacrificial enough to take it out in the city brakeless!

Perhaps I am biased due to writing C, but I keep running into nice stuff in Rust, like std::concat_idents, that has been hidden behind nightly toolchains for ages.
I guess may just "have" what the kernel did and re-implement it to drop needing a nightly toolchain.
(I say biased, because there may be some idiomatic or other way to do these things that someone more familiar with Rust would do instead & find what I do "distasteful")

A week of coming home from work to spend my evening trying to keep up with DT patches has been exhausting, even after "tactically" excluding sound stuff that I don't understand at all & a whole rake of Qualcomm patches that clearly were not going to get applied this week.
I don't know how people who deal with that sort of volume regularly cope!
