I wish, the USA did consider bombing Israel, until they start behaving.
Isn’t it strange how Trump always does the wrong kind of crazy things?

I have a Kobo Clara 2E and like it very much.

Strange to see something good coming off a war.

PostmarketOS was already mentioned.
There’s another Linux OS for phones I’m aware of: https://sailfishos.org/

10a is supported, but flagged experimental:
https://grapheneos.org/releases

Kudos!
Have fun 😊

My Pixel 7a with GrapheneOS says ‘Hi!’ 🤗

I love it!
Installation their costom ROM was the easiest I ever did.
I can’t imagine going back to any other Android variant.

Aside from 2 apps I tried everything works fine including banking apps, which is to say: all I really want to use works.
If you’re especially worried about banking apps, you can have a look here about their expected compatibility: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/

Short of my future Jolla phone with SailfishOS blowing my Pixel with GrapheneOS out of the water (unlikely to happen), I’m stuck with GrapheneOS for the foreseeable future.
My next daily driver might be from Motorola though, if they do their business with GrapheneOS the right way.

It sure does. But we have to consider that recharging is less efficient than not spending the energy on acceleration in the first place, so heavier EVs are worse off than lighter ones; it’s not only losses from friction and heat losses - those come on top.
And you’re spot-on with the danger that comes from weight; being in an accident with a lot of kinetic energy that needs to be absorbed is not great.

I was comparing EVs with different weight and not comparing EVs with ICE vehicles, though.
And in that case the heavier EVs are less efficient than more leightweight versions even with regenerative breaking, because the process of accelerating and breaking cant’ regenerate all energy that was spent for accelerating.

That’s not that big of a deal for long-range trips, on which you typically don’t have to accelarate often.
Keeping the car going at a certain speed depends on several types of resistance, most importantly air resistance, but not really on weight.
More weight plays a bigger role for energy consumption in urban ares, where the weight needs to be accelerated more often than on the highway, the mileage per kWh is yet typically higher than on the highway due to the lower speed and less air resistance.
What I’m trying to say: I’d pick the bigger battery any time over the smaller one, if the price is reasonable.
EVs are already heavy. The weight from some additional batteries don’t play a big role.

Well, maybe there is still hope: https://www.anthropic.com/news/statement-department-of-war
It could just be a ruse to stay on the moral high ground (for now, that is). Anyway I’m going to assess them based on what they do. And if it is what they say, they’re still one of the better AI corporations.

Aaaaaaaaand it’s gone: https://lite.cnn.com/2026/02/25/tech/anthropic-safety-policy-change
Now they are just like any other AI corporation.

If the fascists don’t like it, Anthropic must be doing something right.

I can relate. I installed Bazzite, because I wanted a solution which works with my Nvidia GPU out of the box.
Now it’s my daily driver.

Why talk if you haven’t read the comment you replied to until the end?

You’re unfortunately right that a Linux phone wouldn’t solve these problems and I’m with you that devs who bend the knee to Google have no interest in providing a Linux phone version - at least for the foreseeable future.
Once there’s a considerable market share for Linux phones (which may never be the case…), those users are potential customers and the tides will shift.
Until then it would at least provide a portable computer that can do a lot of the things current smartphones are capable of, but without the restrictions created by Google and Apple.

I have a more pessimistic view of bad scenarios.
Combine Google Play Integrity checks with being unable to install apps except they’re from the Play Store and you are at the whim of Google.
Right now I’m battling an app provider (of an app I rely on) who decided to start Play Integrity check shenanigans, although that’s in violation with their TOS. I know about not so great scenarios already. My alternative would be to cave and forfeit GrapheneOS, which I’m not willing to do.
We. need. Linuxphones!

I’m not saying I’m a fan of that, but at least Apple is upfront about the walled garden they offer and ever has been.
Google started differently, but turned around 180 degrees.

I don’t know, but in difference to Hacker’s Keyboard it still receives updates.
What’s for sure better (for my use case) is the broad range of layout customization.
