I resent your false dichotomy, we must develop our own alternative bike building cooperative industry from scratch, with all the necessary supply chain to avoid any dependence on the system.

It's actually been shown that a little bit more radiation than background may actually be good for you.

I just pick them up through the web, no need to install anything.
To install and play, heroic.

No, it's completely different.
In most eastern bloc countries, communism is often associated with external oppression.
In Spain, fascism was a local phenomenon and the current democracy comes from a voluntary transition from fascism, so there has never been a purge of fascism in Spain.
Even today there are lots of pro-fascists in major political parties, and there is a not small amount of nostalgia.
I would say, generally, the feeling in Spain about fascism is comparable to the feeling in Russia about the USSR.
Obviously there is also a strong anti fascist movement, but in lots of big cities it's not strange to see fascist flags on some people's balconies.

There are multiple images from multiple embassies in the post.

They're not wrong.
Of course you can fork and have full control over your fork, but Graphene and company want to be able to keep merging AOSP's code to keep up with features and improvements.
Merging code from a divergent codebase is harder the more divergence there is, and with big codebases it can easily overwhelm small and medium-sized teams.
It's the same reason there aren't lots of chromium forks with manifest v2 support, while it is technically feasible, it requires a bigger effort than most projects can afford.
Keeping an open AOSP fork is not a bad idea, but it's not clear whether GrapheneOS or any other project will be able to keep up with that workload.
Of course Linux phones require a lot of work too, but it's work oriented towards making it work instead of towards undoing whatever sabotage google ads to AOSP, so it might motivate more people or be easier to do.
Also, both approaches are compatible.
Linux phones can use waydroid, which depends on AOSP, to run Android apps.

That's great, thank you!
Added to my project's repo.

Thanks, I fucking hate these stupid lies.

They wrote the Crystal trilogy.
I mostly liked it, the fist two books are good in my opinion, the third goes really weird halfway and I didn't like it as much.

No, the code is available, which is not the same as open source.

could maybe force Ars to put out a retraction
