Tenkawa: hey there! still having trouble getting Matrix to work, and Discord won't work either...I just wanted to share with you that I have a PineTab-V on the way! I'm glad RISC-V is so inexpensive, I'm very broke right now :^]
<liam1312>
my partner and I are trying to write, ink, color, and edit a comic book using only RISC-V hardware

hmm, don't those chats work easily in firefox? but maybe browser API is not enough for you...
<liam1312>
this chat doesn't seem too active, and most people interested in RISC-V are developers, not layman enthusiasts such as myself
<liam1312>
so i've been hesistant to ask the million questions that i have... :^]
<palmer>
Just ask

i'm on a Framework Laptop with the Deep Computing JH7110 SoC

i've been very surprised how functional it is! running Fedora 41 atm. unfortunately all my regular web apps don't work--they are either throwing me "Unsupported Browser" errors or simply loading ad infinitum
<liam1312>
Matrix in particular is what I'm interested in, because the Fedora RISC-V Matrix chat is very active, helpful, and friendly
<liam1312>
if anyone else owns the same chip (Deep Computing JH7110) then i'd be curious to see if they have been able to use Matrix on it

what browser are you running?
<liam1312>
Firefox 131.0 (riscv64)

maybe people on firefox channels (especially development oriented) might have ideas about the nature of that problem
<liam1312>
i wonder if they have IRC bridged to their Matrix, if i remeber correctly, Mozilla was really quick to adopt Matrix
<liam1312>
thanks for the point in the right direction la_mettrie! although i must say that i would rather use a dedicated client... someone told me that's foolish, because Matrix clients are so similar to web browsers to begin with?
<liam1312>
nheko (Matrix client) is packaged for Fedora riscv64, but i had issues with it. i might spend some time troubleshooting that...
<liam1312>
what applications are y'all most anticipating on this new architecture?
<kepstin>
note that there isn't really any reason for matrix clients to be similar to web browsers - e.g. Fractal doesn't have any web view component involved, and there's a number of pure text-based clients.
<kepstin>
it just happens that a lot of the "desktop" versions of matrix clients are simply the web clients packaged as electron apps :(
<liam1312>
thanks for the explanation! i adore flatpak, but i've had trouble using Fractal
<liam1312>
(on amd64 that is, afaik there's no flatpak for riscv64)
<liam1312>
very newbie questions: should i bother to type "riscv64" or do people assume that riscv refers to the 64bit ISA?
<kepstin>
if you're talking about something capable of running a linux desktop, it'll basicall always be 64bit at this point. there _are_ 32bit risc-v chips, but they tend to be used only in small embedded devices (often running an rtos)
<liam1312>
i have seen some papers about lower-power riscv chips in agricultural settings--very fascinating, since that's my field

<liam1312>
well... i am out of money xD
<nonzero>
I have only got the star-five board which I ran Nextcloud instance from for a while, however, the boot and current (as of 6 months ago) hacking it together is a little bit more than it was worth, especially getting things like nvme working. But I will be on the risc-v wagon as soon as it is a bit less hacky, I really like the look of the couple of laptops availble.
<nonzero>
also, i read that as out of memory ha
<liam1312>
i have the JH7110 Deep Computing SoC in my Framework 13, and then i have a spare SoC that needs one of their Coolermaster cases (only $40 thankfully)
<liam1312>
i also just ordered that PineTab-V, for my partner to draw our comic!
<nonzero>
how does it play?
<liam1312>
nonzero: much better than i expected, but no web apps work. no audio either, but that may be my bad
<nonzero>
the framework forum is normally pretty hot with support from what I remember when I had my 13 and had issues with the fingerprint reader
<liam1312>
a user here recommended talking to the Mozilla folks, since ultimatly it is the browser that i'm having the most issues with
<liam1312>
i need to get into the riscv channel on Fedora's Matrix server--that place is full of witches and wizards

liam1312: there's #fedora-riscv as well
<palmer>
you could also try booting QEMU to check if it works in there, that would isolate HW problems
<liam1312>
thank you so much! i wasn't aware of that channel
<liam1312>
maybe i'll try out QEMU on my powerful amd64 Framework before i donate it
<palmer>
ya, I'd try QEMU: if it's broken there then it's a RISC-V wide problem, otherwise it's something specific to your chip
<liam1312>
heck yeah! the person getting my amd64 Framework is more savvy than i am, and they're also part of our Food Not Bombs chapter
<liam1312>
our "dream" is to get a Matrix server running on riscv one day
<liam1312>
right now the chapter uses Slack
