Fortunately, he reports that it is slow growing and completely manageable. He says he isn't going anywhere.

BREAKING: #SCOTUS to hear challenges to TX and FL statutes aimed at regulating social media companies' content moderation policies, which some conservatives say amount to censorship. The firms say the laws intrude on publishers' 1st amendment rights

BREAKING: India's indigenous BharOS Leak shows its a literally fork of GrapheneOS
— Tech and Leaks (@TechLeaksZone) September 28, 2023
BharOS source-code has been leaked as its GitHub repositories has been made public
It was indigenously developed by IIT Maras & it took 1yr to develop the system
More info: https://t.co/XqQyeTbwmV pic.twitter.com/Hu6SDzjdGE
In summary, I'd advise against using BharOS.
— taha (@lordx64) September 29, 2023
They not only forked GrapheneOS but also inadvertently exposed the source code to everyone to see their string replace. "graphene" -> "bhar". then tried to delete it, but failed. the code is now available.
What would be laughable… https://t.co/8Z0aYr7ujV

Frontiers | The computational power of the human brain
At the end of the 20th century, analog systems in computer science have been widely replaced by digital systems due to their higher computing power. Nevertheless, the question keeps being intriguing until now: is the brain analog or digital? Initially, the latter has been favored, considering it as a Turing machine that works like a digital computer. However, more recently, digital and analog processes have been combined to implant human behavior in robots, endowing them with artificial intelligence (AI). Therefore, we think it is timely to compare mathematical models with the biology of computation in the brain. To this end, digital and analog processes clearly identified in cellular and molecular interactions in the Central Nervous System are highlighted. But above that, we try to pinpoint reasons distinguishing in silico computation from salient features of biological computation. First, genuinely analog information processing has been observed in electrical synapses and through gap junctions, the latter both in neurons and astrocytes. Apparently opposed to that, neuronal action potentials (APs) or spikes represent clearly digital events, like the yes/no or 1/0 of a Turing machine. However, spikes are rarely uniform, but can vary in amplitude and widths, which has significant, differential effects on transmitter release at the presynaptic terminal, where notwithstanding the quantal (vesicular) release itself is digital. Conversely, at the dendritic site of the postsynap...
