Unser digitales Leben befindet sich in der Hand weniger Superreicher. Mit der Monopolstellung ihrer Unternehmen bestimmen Menschen wie Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos oder Mark Zuckerberg weltweit, wie wir uns online informieren, wie wir diskutieren, kommunizieren oder handeln. Einen solchen unkontrollierten Einfluss sollte kein Mensch und kein Unternehmen besitzen, weil wir dann nicht mehr in Freiheit leben können.

An jedem ersten Sonntag im Monat veranstalten wir deshalb den #DigitalIndependenceDay: Wir holen uns unser freies digitales Leben zurück, zerstören die Demokratie nicht weiter und wechseln zu demokratiefreundlichen digitalen Alternativen.

Es ist nicht kompliziert: Heute mal einen Wechsel ausprobieren, am nächsten ersten Sonntag im Monat den nächsten. Also schnell in den AppStore, Alternative herunterladen und mit uns #DIDay feiern!

His floats can be seen every Rose Monday at the carnival parade in Düsseldorf. The parade is also broadcast the same day on the tv channel WDR

 

SoC and modem

  • The SoC will be an unpublished MediaTek Dimensity 7000 series chipset. As it is still unpublished we can’t disclose details about it and need to wait the SoC vendor publications
  • For the 12/256GB memories we’re shooting for LPDDR5 for the RAM and UFS3.1 for the mass storage, both from top tier Korean vendors. Please note, there is an unseen global shortage on memory chips which may effect the availability of memory types, thus we’ll confirm the particular memory types closer to the mass production.
  • For the cellular bands we have been able to fit the following 4G & 5G bands:
    • LTE FDD: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28AB, 66
    • LTE TDD: 34, 38, 39, 40, 41 5G NR: n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n26, n28, n38, n40, n41, n66, n77, n78
  • In regards the SIM configuration, it will be a single tray dual-sided nano-SIM with a separate slot for the microSDXC. I.e. in total 3-slots in one tray.

Cameras

  • The primary back camera will feature Sony IMX766 AF 50MP sensor module, known for its quality and performance within the price range The secondary back camera will be a 13MP ultrawide AF Sony IMX214
  • Front camera is set to be a 32MP wide lens FF Sony IMX616

Size and the battery

we’re able to find a physically smaller (and slimmer) battery on the same capacity, i.e with a higher density. (...) Thus, the length of the device looks like will be 1-2mm shorter than the original spec.

 

The initiative invites the Commission “to propose a regulation that establishes a standardised oversight of human rights across its areas of competence in its external action with third countries". According to the organisers, the "regulation should ensure that the Commission monitors, evaluates, and responds to human rights violations in a manner that is transparent, consistent, effective, proportionate and timely.”

Following today's registration, the organisers have six months to open the 12-month period of signature collection. If an ECI receives at least one million statements of support during that time, with minimum numbers reached in at least seven Member States, the Commission is required to react, and decide what, if any, action it will take in response to the initiative, justifying its decision.

 

The Other Half (TOH) is a swappable back cover that does more than protect your phone — it transforms it. The original Jolla Phone (2013) pioneered this with open I2C interface and NFC-enabled covers that changed themes and behaviour just by snapping on

(...)

With the new Jolla Phone, we’re taking TOH even further — and we’ll open source the hardware and software interface specs so anyone can design, 3D-print, or produce their own modules. Primarily we plan that the new The Other Half interface would be based on I³C.

yes it can. Official Saifish devices include an Android runtime called AppSupport. But be aware that not all apps will work. Especially banking apps can cause problems, because they frequently require google play services integrity. It's basically the anti cheat thing from Linux gaming all over again.

They've added a signup form for people not in Europe at the bottom of the page. (Pretty sure it's new, maybe I just missed it before) You can use it to register your interest.

In February 2022 Jolla announced that it has discontinued its business in Russia during 2021 and is seeking a shareholder structure without Russian ownership.

In November 2023 Jolla announced that Pirkanmaa District Court had approved a corporate restructuring plan which would see Jolla's business and staff acquired by a new company owned by the Jolla management team.

SailfishOS has been around since 2013. It's based on an even older Nokia project (from before they got bought and sold by Microsoft). Since then there has been a number of devices running it. In recent years that's mostly been the Jolla C2, a rebranded low spec device by Turkish manufacturer Reeder, and certain Sony phones, such as the Xperia V III. The latter doesn't ship with SFOS but you can purchase a €50 license and install it yourself.

There are also community ports that are unofficial and don't have all the features (Android app support is missing for example) but run on some other devices. The problem in ARM world is that OS's need to be tailored to the device (for the most part). It's not like on intel or amd PCs. So if you want to run it on your Samsung or whatever, then you can do that. It's just a lot of work.

It's somewhere inbetween. For the most part you have a standard Linux userland. The packaging format for example is just RPM. But the shells compositor can currently only properly display Android and qt apps. There has been some discussion at the last community meeting (where the devs answer questions) about improved Wayland support to change that, but that's where we are.

Furtermore, for drivers and the like some Android blobs are used. There are therefore some Sailfish specific apis that you need to target for some of the functionality.

It's not mentioned on the store page, but according to the accompanying form thread, the whole thing is based on a unspecified but "powerful" MediaTek SOC

I'm not from Australia and I knew that. But you are probably right, I've edited my post.

 

We demand that the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) oppose the participation of Israel in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest, in light of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza, war crimes, crimes against humanity, apartheid regime, and unlawful occupation of Palestinian territories.

Sign this petition to tell SBS [Australian public broadcaster]: no entertainment is worth complicity in genocide!

This is probably going to end up as nothing more than a symbolic gesture - a change.org petition is easily ignored after all. But it's something you can do and it doesn't take long to sign. So why not try?

As have Spain and the Netherlands

 

A 23-year-old man from Sweden has been sentenced in Luxembourg to eight years in prison, six of which are suspended, for planning a terror attack against the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam. (...)

The court case in Luxembourg also looked at the man’s wider activities in far-right extremist networks. He was a member of the neo-Nazi terrorist organization The Base, and of the so-called eco-fascist group Green Brigade, which mixes far-right ideology with animal rights activism.

You'll also probably want to bookmark this: https://docs.chrultrabook.com/docs/installing/post-install.html#general-qol-fixes

The Chrultrabook project makes the distro run a bit smoother once it's installed by providing fixes for the audio stack and custom keyboard layouts to make the top row of keys work properly among other things
