Support for Loongson’s Chips was mainlined a little while ago in both GCC and the Linux Kernel so I’m hopeful. If the Kernel devs suddenly start refusing to merge stuff from Chinese Hardware makers that will only create a soft-fork of the Kernel and they’d just tell everybody to use their fork. In fact, Loongson did fork both the Linux Kernel and GCC to modify them in the first place until eventually their modifications got accepted. Even I myself am actually running a Kernel that I modified because there are certain things I disagree with. Also let’s not forget that Linux isn’t the only FOSS UNIX-like out there.

Viewing an image? Ask copilot to generate what it thinks the image looks like.

And then you try to open the image file on a non-Windows system and discover that it’s actually just a text file with a prompt. Your actual Image is now part of copilot’s training data and you’ve agreed to this by accepting the Windows EULA.

“Save storage space with copilot!”

I haven’t touched Windows in years and every time I take a peek at the current state of Windows I’m horrified and ask myself “How do people put up with this?”.
