I wonder if any major project has had forks because of their inclusion or exclusion of AI.
And I'm unsure if that's positive or not. Maybe it is because it can accommodate the needs and wants of everyone. But then again there's division and all this tension. The polarization is too much right now. And it may even grow further, as the AI enticement becomes deeper with cheaper, smarter, whatever may happen... Meanwhile, oligarchs are enjoying their Datacenters and pushing their agenda for surveillance and control or even monopoly of one voice, the voice of AI, that holds "the truth" with examples as whatever you get when asking DeepSeek about Tiannamen square. And chatgpt may have blindspots of their own that we are yet to see.
What I'm trying to say is that the political debate is bigger than what any community can really hold without accepting a certain degree of heterogeneity.
Github holds plenty of examples to bypass chinese great firewall. I would say you use a vps and set up those proxyies, a while ago it was shadowsocks. Today, idk. Maybe amneziawg. Not sure if you can make the clients work on windows 7, in any case just get a travel router set it up there and use that as the filter to your connection. Break down the problem into pieces. And yes, that router and/ or vps will have Linux (:
