The real issue is that they are speaking of "open source" and not about freedom for people.

The communist party likes the utilitaristic approach of "open source" and do NOT like to speak about freedom for people.

frame.work website got slashdotted!

I beg your pardon, I don't see how the GPL should be obnoxious to the spread of an operative system. All Android phones shipes with a GPL-v2 kernel.
I have been using a "fucking GPL" desktop OS since 1998 and I am quite happy with it.

This reminds me of hard sci-fi book Tau Zero from Poul Anderson

Well, actually MATE IS a fork of Gnome, specifically of Gnome 2.
After a few years they ported it to Gtk3

Is there any project originally released under GPL or LGPL or AGPL that has been re-released under a less free-as-in-freedom license?

I guess they will also need to go into the "deep web" (see https://geti2p.net/en/blog/post/2020/03/06/git-over-i2p )

Actually Nokia sells mainly network hardware.
The phones are made by HMD Global Oy, the exclusive licensee of the Nokia brand for phones and tablets founded by ex-Nokia emplyees. Nokia has no finantial ties to HMD

As the entire universe exists as a thought of God we are "really" living into a simulation.

As soon as they will support flashing de-Googled versions of Android as LineageOS or /E/ I will promptily buy one!

It is widely known that heat-pumps are more efficient that "plain burning fuel".
But heat pumps usually require electricity. Quite a lot of electricity, actyally.
How do you generate (a lot of) electricity in a harsh, deeply cold environment?
"Deeply cold" usually occur at night so no photovoltaic.
Wind? Tidal generation?
Geothermal is usually a good idea, but still require (electric) pumps.
Then there is the issue of how you generate that electricity and the efficiency of the process. A little hint: a "1st world grid" has an efficiency of ~33-35% from the power source to the plug. This usually move the overall feasibility quite a lot.

Personally, I never used nor remember having saw a JPEG-XL picture.
I see WebP happily replacing Jpeg AND PNG AND GIF thought.
I wonder how an open, royalty-free image file format should not be desirable (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVIF )

Stopping AI development won't stop wrong-doing, evil organization from developing it under cover, giving them an advantage we can't allow them to gain

Some other people already did it using Firefox... see https://www.brow.sh/

It's a little ironic to note that Android was originally created to develop an advanced operating system for digital cameras...
