    We finally get another promising and actually open source RISC-V implementation among the sea of proprietary designs that just don’t want to pay an ISA licensing fee, and this happens.

    Many people noticed that on that thread, and this behaviour is very much in line with what happened on the Huawei KPI count criticism mailing list post as well, just one day ago.

    This goes in line with a recent comment I made:

    It is also the case, however, that a bunch of anti-China conspiracists exist inside open source community, solely because of their subconscious brainwashing into the notion that USA is the one responsible for the existence of libre open source culture, and important figures like RMS and Torvalds also are from USA, and Silicon Valley also being a part of this. This culture existing because of US and EU is absolutely BS to the core.

    There is a lot of gatekeeping culture by the believers of Western hegemon, and want to retain it, as the influence of Asians grows into open libre digital culture. This group racism combined with gatekeeping should be condemned and worked against, and I feel it shows a bias of the moderators there who either fear racist callouts against them, or are themselves believers of Western hegemony retention.

    Open source is a socialist idea to the core, that puts the power and control into the hands of the society, instead of corporations as is with x86, and so, in this way the anti-socialist Westerners also practice their political ideological influence over the whole community.

    It is disgusting for me, how my reactions as an Indian in Western groups have all been initially reduced to “HELLO MICROSOFT TECH SUPPORT” in voice chats, and there are other epithets and labellings for others in the world too.

        You dont have to trust this new processor, the important thing is that they are developing an alternative to the Intel/AMD duopoly on desktop and server CPUs. You might not be threatened by NSA backdoors, but there are many people and organizations who are.

        I do not think you can mistrust open hardware, just because its origin is China. Hell, we are trusting closed hardware from USA for a couple decades, and what did we get all this while? Backdoors. Hardware backdoors from a country that makes tall claims of freedom, transparency, liberalism and democracy.

        Also, Sweden et al are not ML states, even if they are socialist. IMHO Non ML socialism is very fallible to the capitalist and imperialist traps, which 5 Eyes rely on to rule the world.

            ML is Marxist-Leninist.

            I would not really trust USA and 14 Eyes anymore, honestly. They have proven that they are sophisticated and malicious at running propaganda and intelligence networks on the entire world, especially with CIA completing 50 years last year.

            Intelligence influence cannot be quantified more than it has been with blackbox USA hardware, and it was never because USA government was transparent about any of the aspects.

              I agree 100% with your comment. Fuck the surveillance state. Fuck the 14 eyes and their collaborators. Fuck capitalism hard. There’s a metric fuckton of legitimate and serious criticism of the 14 eyes and the practices of the US specifically.

              At the same time, legitimate criticism about any other country is valid, including China. There shouldn’t be sides where one is “bad” and the other is “good.” It rings of Republicans bad/Democrats good. None of the rich and powerful work for you or care about you. That’s the only way they became rich and powerful - sociopathic behavior. To them, you and I only matter as far as we can advance their desires.

              I realize that the US pushes out anti-China rhetoric constantly and most of it is total bullshit. I also see most arguments against the CPP are based around that propaganda. That doesn’t mean that the CPP is doing everything right and deserves a universal pass on criticism. No government does.

              Show me a government full of pure and transparent people and ideas who work solely for the good of everyone and we should get off Lemmy and work on getting citizenship there.

              With all that said if its an open source processor, I don’t understand why it originating country matters if anyone can analyze the technology, but then I know nothing about the inner workings of a processor.

                Yeah this is not some kind of Chinese chauvinism by me lol, even I have criticisms of China in the privacy and anonymity culture domain. I also have an understanding of the censorship and Chinese history behind it, which most do not or ignore. However, what these people practice is basically an attempt to gatekeep China out of what Westerners think they “own” the open source libre digital culture. Fuck that attitude eternally.

                These people also practice a lot of xenophobic racism against China, and some even go to lengths to make Western chauvinism apparent and boldly clear.

                These dishonest racists also want to put the xenophobic seed in other heads that a Chinese CPU, no matter if the documentation or firmware or architecture is open, still somehow means CPC will put backdoors into open hardware. They are either illiterate, or know what they are doing, and I lean towards the latter, having a good outlook of the situation.

                if you think that giving a gun to a bear to get rid of the wolf is a good idea, then I disagree.

                Ugh false equivalence. You mean to say that China colonised any country, or dropped bombs, or conducted systemic surveillance on the world, like even one bit, compared to the global hegemon USA today?

                Chinese government allows very few people to be China

                And Chinese government is not expansionist. Your point being they are? They do not seek to spread the ideology of ML socialism with Chinese characteristics anywhere, not in the single tiniest village in the world. USA has done that to quite many countries via its CIA (pre 1970s) and later NED fronts and via funding and creating Mujahideen forces in MEA. Ain’t seen China do that yet, and have not seen one bit of evidence supporting any such future vengeance planning either.

                in US many people comprise the upper class and can play part in its politics. In US, CIA is not the government, nor a deep state

                LMAO. Everything is deeply controlled in USA. There is no conspiracy, and CIA even managed to invent the “conspiracy theory” term to systematically discredit any of their critics. Their system brainwashes any foreigner aiming to climb the power dynamics ladder in that country, either via accepting racism, teaching Christianity and/or imperialism apologia, financial corruption, lobbying, getting set up just in case, and so on. And they do not respect or tolerate any competition, unless they are at the top of the food chain.

    people seem to forget that it’s the US backdooring every AMD and intel CPU, and that this one is open source. but most people are calling them out, so yeah.

      you’re the type of person to comment “not all cops are bad” under a video of a cop shooting a person 27 times for a non-violent drug “offense”, aren’t you?

              You are so transparent or naive to a fault. Either way. Not a good look.

              More importantly, it’s not you who dictates what is and isn’t racism towards individuals. Learn to shut up, listen, and understand.

              i get you, those comments might have been just very poorly articulated “there is no way this cpu is going to make it to production in it’s current open source form without any backdoors by the communist party, which is notorious for it’s desire for surveillance and total control”, but it seems unlikely…

    I didn’t read every comment but I didn’t see a single racist one. Probably because they aren’t. You’re wasting your time, and wasting everyone else’s. Advice: stop seeing racism everywhere.

    On the other hand, it’s a shame that people don’t trust this open source initiative.
