    I’m confused, he made a homemade GPU that can’t be mass-produced, and it runs a 30 year old game at 44 fps, and it may (or may not) actually become open source, and I’m supposed to be excited about it?

      You’re not supposed to be anything. It’s a pretty cool feat by one person though.

      You should be impressed. Integrated circuits are insanely complex, and any general purpose processing hardware since the 90s is way too complicated for the human mind to comprehend.

      Open sourced physical technology is only in its infancy, you may be exited about this trend.

      Ive seen open sourced hacking tools, openassistant wireless connectors, complete keyboards.

      Its about time someone started on open sourced proper pc hardware, no matter of how small scale it starts.

      Imagine a future where you can 3d print a 2d printer and its refillable cartridges at home, with extensive manuals on diy repairs and maintenance and no costs beyond the raw resources and your time.

      Open source demonstrates humans cooperating with no profit insensitive. Exactly what capitalism calls impossible. When i first learned about linux it felt incredibly lacking compared to windows, nowadays its my main os, its surpassed windows in anything except good Nvidia drivers.

      If you’re not interested then no, you shouldn’t be excited about it.
