So the main part of a computer that controls everything has a specific set of things it can do. Imagine that each of these things can be triggered by a button on a control panel.
Every company making this part of the computer has their own set of things and layout for the buttons to trigger them and you have to pay them money to learn what the things are and how to press the buttons.
RISC-V offers a set of things and a button layout that the community can freely see and use.
In this example a computer program is just the list of instructions saying which buttons to press in what order.

My wife added ABBA’s Dancing Queen to our driving playlist for our first long trip. Silence into a deafening piano slide half way through the drive was an interesting way to nearly die from shock.
The previous gorilla was called Sourceforge and it’s still cowering in the corner.
We’re just waiting on the next young gorilla to step up and make a challenge.
Pretty much, it’s paracetamol, caffeine and a decongestant. All things that are normally cheaper as tablets.

I’ve always hated the taste of Lemsip because of the paracetamol, don’t understand how people can stand it.
I just take some tablets and have a mug of hot lemon/honey, the hot drink helps with congestion and the honey soothes a sore throat. Lemsip just mashes it all up into one powder.

Work.
If I don’t work full time I can’t afford to house or feed myself.
Work wipes me out mentally leaving me no mental bandwidth to spend what precious little time I have left to go learn, even if I want to.
I would love to be able to dedicate time to learning like I did when I was at university but even with the government funding available to me I would have to upend my life.
I do spend time doing learning around things that interest me but it is depressing how little bandwidth work leaves for me to do that.
