This is of course the only rational position. I just hope that
Loongson could become a reasonable alternative to intel/AMD in the
future, seeing how I'm not a big fan of the mandatory secret CSME and
PSP. If someone can turn my CPU into a key-collector I prefer that it
goes to China because they have a lot less power to do anything to me
if there's something they don't like.
