That's just wrong and a simply depressive outlook for life. Saying things are only valuable if its for literally everybody just the wrong outlook.
Having the ability to make open end to end things is valuable even if its not in every product. Linux shows up in lots of places where people are not aware and that is a good thing. The same thing will happen with RISC-V.
And for people who like open, there will be product for those people. There are companies working on open board devices, laptops, boards and so on. And in the future maybe those could be open chip. The costumers of those products will not care if the PC at Media Market is a propriety computer with Windows on it.
Your attitude would basically be that 'its hardly different' when OpenSource started to grow. But it was and is actually different for a lot of people and for the industry.
- pjmlp 3y agoThose people don't care one bit about how open their blue ray happens to be, even though Sony has based it on Linux and hardly contributed the changes to upstream, as means to reduce costs.
- panick21_ 3y agoAgain, I don't care what most people believe. Not sure why that matters so much to you. That simply doesn't mean nothing has changed.
- pjmlp 3y agoI guess the world needs dreamers.
- panick21_ 3y agoIt has nothing to do with dreams. I have an open hardware product with a RISC-V CPU on my desk right now. And its nice to have. I don't give a single shit if some random device from Media Market is open. The device I have provides real value to me now and that is a good thing. The idea that things are only relevant when media market costumers can buy them is just sad and depressive.
