Even with US sanctions, Chinese AI companies would continue to serve users in every other country in the world (including China itself), so I don't see why they would stop releasing open weight models.
It's not limited to Alibaba's Qwen. All of the other major Chinese ones are on there (GLM, DeepSeek, Kimi, etc.) as well as finetunes and quantizations of the non-Chinese ones.
Unlike Claude Fable, once an open weights model is released, it's available forever (or at least until every copy is lost or deleted, which won't be soon).
Open weights models are already great, and the ones that are already released will continue to be just as good as they are today even if newer versions are released at a different speed in the future.
I have no reason to care about the interests of these companies. My interests are best served with a competitive selection of open weights models available for my use.
OpenAI has the year-old GPT-OSS, and Anthropic has never released any open weights models. Meanwhile, other companies are delivering a steady stream of high-quality open weights models every month, and I'm not going to stop using them just because some other people don't like the country they were developed in.

Thunderbird supports threading in the message list pane (which displays replies next to the email that was replied to), but a conversation mode for the message pane is still in development:
In the meantime, the Thunderbird Conversations add-on provides a conversation view that looks like classic Gmail, which is probably what you're looking for:

Not impressed to see the official Pebble app and app store be closed source once again. Looks like Pebble is taking the Google Play route by making it inconvenient to use the underlying open source software without a proprietary service.
> When I switched to KDE/Plasma 5 to get fractional scaling it was extremely unstable
KDE Plasma 6 made major improvements and has excellent fractional scaling, the best I've seen in a Linux desktop environment and comparable to scaling in Windows 10-11. I encourage you to give it a try.

Sale of the Products. The Challenged Representations misled reasonable consumers into believing the Products possessed certain AI qualities, capabilities, and features, they simply do not have. As a result, Apple charged consumers for Products they would not have purchased, or at least not at its
