Well, in the sense of this comic it’d be about hoping for a date and receiving a fig instead; the difference is what’d make it funny just like hoping for a jacket and receiving trousers is.

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.

To stay in the line of the comic, she’d have received a fig then.

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.

That’s a bummer, but being able to run Android apps seamlessly may be even more useful for a mobile phone than being able to run Linux apps.

Not really. It’s just another attempt at having Linux on mobile phones.
As for a daily driver I have higher hopes for SailfishOS.

From https://postmarketos.org/state/:
“postmarketOS is for Linux enthusiasts. For hackers, tinkerers, technical people […] When compared to Android or iOS, postmarketOS is run by a tiny community of developers who mostly work on the project in their free time - typically next to a dayjob, school or university. Keep that in mind when asking for help in the issues or chat. This is not a product you paid for and you don’t have a support contract with us. People may help you if they have time, but sometimes nobody can help you and you need to figure out problems on your own.”.

In contrast the statement about SailfishOS:
“The main design principles of Sailfish OS have always included a seamless user experience combined with unique and clean Scandinavian design.
Apps are a natural part of a mobile UX. With Sailfish OS you can run beautiful gesture-based native apps powered by Qt framework or opt-in to run your favourite Android apps securely executed in an isolated sandbox.”.

Whether SailfishOS delivers or postmarketOS is able to provide the better experience, remains to be seen.
For now my money is on SailfishOS - literally!

There’s real Linux mobile phone OS like https://sailfishos.org/ which I will try as soon as my phone gets delivered.
I’m fed up with Android/Google as it is and GrapheneOS (which I’m running now) can’t stop me from wanting to have alternatives.

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.

It was mentioned in the article to be tested next.

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

Whether there’s “nothing to hide” is an assessment made by the fascists and not by the people giving out information.

Just create EU 2.0 then and leave all the assholes out.

The WiFi password is a nut I yet have to crack, but I’ve put the music on the SD card and enjoyed Songo#5 already.
Unfortunately I won’t be able to get in contact with Riley easily as my Discord account requires me to receive an email, which gets sent to a mailbox I no longer have access to (maybe time to set up a new account…) and I left Reddit for good after the crap they pulled with the API access - which is why I’m here on Lemmy now.

Your review really made my decision making process simple. I’m long beyond the phase of my life, where I researched this and that for days or weeks just to have the most perfect solution.
Now I’m in the “good is good enough, no need for it to be perfect” phase as it saves so much time.
Yet in this case good turned out to be (maybe) the perfect solution.
So I wholeheartedly thank you for your review!

Now I can either play Tetris or listen to music with a formidable music player. Streaming via Bluetooth didn’t work at first attempt, though. Pairing went well, but the sound output wasn’t on the BT speaker. I’ll have to try again with other devices.
For the time being I can live with a cable connection to the speaker :)

I’m looking forward to what amazing things are coming!
Have fun!

I don’t know how to tell you…
…but that’s how the current world works in most parts.
And delayed transport is at the lower end on the scale of life ruining events.
Do I really need to bring up Epstein and the orchestrated abuse and worse?
