i'm so glad the RISC-V vendor ecosystem has embraced reasonable and easy to remember extension names

@ezhes_ at this point I choose to believe that RISC-V is a conspiracy to create an instruction set even worse than x86.

@ezhes_ Screenreaders are going to have a blast with that alt text.

@ezhes_ I think they might have passed out on the keyboard when they wrote that.

@ezhes_ Did a cat walk across the keyboard when they were writing the documentation? 🐱

@ezhes_ Got a leaked picture of the dev in charge of naming (top right hole):

A picture of a round (50cm diameter, 100cm height) scratch post for cats with two large (30cm diameter) holes for hideouts. A black cat sits in the top right one. Due to lighting and the cat being black it appears as if the hideout is empty, apart from the hovering eyes of the cat, creating an impression of a void.

@ezhes_ somehow beating x86 at inscrutable names

@ezhes_ My considered response is "gesundheit".

@ezhes_ they’re not even hiding that they’re really just summoning eldritch abominations from outside the Outer Gate now.

@ezhes_ I tried to say it, now I need a chiropractor for my tongue...

@ezhes_ @Clover I had to look it up, wasn't sure if that was a joke.

What is that even supposed to be an acronym for? Is it just keyboard mashing?

@ezhes_ Apple names their releases after places in California. Intel uses lakes in the US. RISC-V is naming their extentensions after Welsh villages.

@ezhes_ Guess I'll be writing an assembler with custom mnemonics whever I get round to learning RISC V
