Oh, I forgot, the FPGA is going to draw waaaay more current than the ASIC on the RPi.

Is there any way to walk on the moon?
There is if you make one. 3D printers and machining are cheap these days so just build a rocket.
That is just a BS argument. First of all, FPGAs are all nice and all but the skills to
produce a usable GPU that interfaces with you custom RISC-V chip is way beyond the
average target market for a RPi.
Secondly, a "cheap" FPGA is not going run a viable GPU. You need at least a Kintex or equivalent if you want
to get close to the performance of a Mali or whatever a RPi has in it, video decoding in 4K in particular. Kintexes are
not, em, cheap. The dev boards start at $500. And the development with Xilinx Vivado is very, very sloooooooooooooow.
Which brings me to another topic. Vivado is not actually open. The only viable Open Source FPGA toolchain
runs on Lattice ICE40 and ECP5 FPGAS with limited support for Xilinx and Altera (and Tang ) parts. So your
GPU is not really going to be open in any case. Good luck with implementing a viable GPU on a ICE40. Remember: 4K Video.
Before you ask I DID implement a custom CPU with a graphics card on an FPGA. AN ICE40 in fact. It does not have
a GPU on it though. Not even close.
What is it with OSS fanatics that just think everyone is stupid because they can't build their own hardware?

Russian bystanders. Big loss
Sure in theory but then your idea runs up against a telegenic power tripping manager who gets this done by flashing a snazzy Powerpoint at a dumb politician who wants to make his mark,
The real sketchy part was that Ally Sheedy was actually interested in his nerd stuff

I asked Dall—E to make a picture of “Darth Vader making love to Amidala”.
It refused
Then I asked it to “Draw a picture of Darth Vader eating a kitten for breakfast using his light saber as a knife”
I got a rather interesting picture back.
If eating kittens alive and is nit SFW and rubbing up the princess is not I can’t help the Americans anymore.
Have you ever seen Bugs Bunny when he is upset?

I would agree on that. Some old school buddies hang on Facebook so I go there sometimes and there are surely good private groups there.
What I donâ(TM)t do is live there and tell every one what the shit looked like this morning after I ate a Burrito last night.
As for news? No frikkin way get that from Facebook
The Truth is that Facebook and WhatsApp works very well for common folk that do not want to go full nerd and run their own servers. It solves the problem of a small semi private group and quick day to day commuinations group very well
Let me guess. You dropped out of high school, right?
