Hopefully, it will not only boost RISC-V adoption, but also the FOSS EDA[1][2][3] tools, FPGA[4][5] and ASIC[6][7][8] design tools, various high-level languages, and toolkits to work with hardware designs. You can also follow my idea[9] and initiative to create low-level hardware IR instead of al tools parsing or producing Verilog/VHDL. Apparently, both are a pretty bad fit for chip design, thus many high-level languages[10] were created.
As other comments have pointed out, devices (mobile and desktop app) do require
2FA and there's no way around that. So I'm assuming you meant the keybase.io
website where you can log in with username and password.
Note that the functionality of the website is very limited. You can't access
any chat messages or non-public KBFS data, for example. The most power thing
you can do is resetting your account, and after that is probably using your PGP
key if you uploaded an encrypted version of your private key to Keybase. If
this worries you, you should turn on lockdown mode [0] to require a device to
access those features.
Can anyone here corroborate that there are better alternatives to operating systems than the Unix-likes? Maybe anyone that agrees with Rob Pike's view on this in particular? All I seem to hear is that Unix-y OSs are great, but I don't hear much about any potential alternatives. So I'm curious about them.
