Shader systems are ridiculously powerful if you’re clever enough. 



Most people use them to create visual effects. You know what’s cooler?

Running Linux.

By abusing the heck out of shader logic, you can do some funny things.



To run linux in a shader, you first need a (simulated) CPU.



Of course, someone took it to the logical extreme; and emulated RISC-V logic in HLSL.

A la Xina proves d'un robot fent tasques d'extinció d'un incendi forestal, per evitar posar en situació de risc a bombers, i poder arribar on no pot arribar un humà.

Exemple de quan la tecnologia posa a l'èsser humà al centre.

Long time I thought sea level rise would be THE mayor risc for big cities, as many of them are located close to ocean coasts.

Now lack of drinking water adds because of draught, salinization, pollution, ...

Furthermore water ways are important infrastructure for transport, food, energy etc.

Un estudi vincula el consum prolongat de melatonina amb un major risc cardíac, però els experts en qüestionen la fiabilitat

Un estudi vincula el consum prolongat de melatonina amb un major risc cardíac, però els experts en qüestionen la fiabilitat
El consum habitual de melatonina, un suplement utilitzat per a millorar la qualitat del son, ha generat controvèrsia arran d’un estudi presentat este cap de setmana als Estats Units. Segons els resultats preliminars, les persones que prenen este suplement durant almenys un any podrien tindre el doble de risc de patir insuficiència cardíaca que aquelles que no en fan ús.

Meanwhile both Windows and MacOS have *added* "pinned apps" (that aren't running) and app menus (that control the app rather than a particular window) - both of which were influenced by RISC OS.

So yes, pay your money and take your choice, but all this is mutable and evolutionary.
November 11, 2025 at 12:46 PM
the reason for this seems to be, that a lot of time is spent effectively single-threaded in guile ("guild compile"). RISC-V cores' single-thread performance doesn't tend to be their strongest point

Win95's taskbar does neither. It shows *windows* & in the main area shows *nothing else.* It didn't show the app name unless the app does itself. There's no button for the abstruse notion of "an open app".

This is a very important conceptual difference that the "but RISC OS" folks are missing.

Moving back to Linux RPCEmu on my Mac

I'm a big fan of RPCEmu which provides an excellent RISC OS environment on my Mac when I'm travelling. In this post I'm going to explore why I have switched back to the Linux version and cover some of the issues I encountered.

Interesting that having to emulate paging via softmmu and 80-bit x87 floats are what kills copy.sh/v86 wasm-based JIT performance. I wonder how fast you could go with MMU-less RISC-V Linux? Could be nice for non-jailbroken iOS.

but the opam repo isn't just a database - it's a comprehensive CI system testing packages across 5+ OS platforms and multiple architectures (even RISC-V and PowerPC!). it ensures quality through both automation and human review 🔥

This is going way over my head, but still cool to see that the RISC-V organization doesn't forget about gaming.

Gotta take the low lows in order to take the high highs.
Here's a quick update to show that everyone's help made a difference!

• I finished up Genesis Black and gained the respect to be involved past FGC related things. Gonna wrap up RISC this weekend, and then go all in on Genesis X3 and FitS.

APIV està en perill per la no convocatòria d’ajudes públiques en 2024. La continuïtat del treball que fa des de fa quasi 30 anys per la il·lustració està en risc. Per això llancem una campanya de micromecenatge per mantindre l’associació: www.goteo.org/project/salv... 1/4 ⬇️

A bunch of people are mad Debian is requiring rustc to work, and therefore dropping support for old architectures. The architectures in question:

- DEC Alpha (1992-2007)
- PA-RISC (1986-2008)
- Motorola 68000 (1979-1994)
- Hitachi SuperH (this is the only one that still seems in [very niche] use)
