Allekirjoita kansalaisaloite "Digitaalinen itsenäisyys": "Kriittisten digitaalisten palveluiden rakentaminen suomalaisten ja eurooppalaisten toimijoiden varaan on välttämätön askel itsemääräämisoikeuden, turvallisuuden ja demokratian vahvistamiseksi." https://t.co/Yoa55P20Bq

After a long silence in X, @JollaHQ is back. And we're bringing something Europe desperately needs.

The Jolla Phone: Europe's independent smartphone running #SailfishOS 5.

In 2013, when we founded Jolla from @nokia MeeGo’s ashes, people called us naive. "You can't compete with iOS and Android," they said. They were right about one thing: we weren't trying to compete. We were building an alternative.

Today, that alternative matters more than ever.

Every Android phone, every iPhone — they all phone home to California. Your data, your habits, your conversations: processed, analyzed, stored on someone else's terms. GDPR promised European digital sovereignty. But what good are data protection laws when your entire digital life runs on American infrastructure?

This isn't about nationalism. It's about choice. It's about owning your device instead of renting it. It's about a phone that respects you enough to give you:
• Sailfish OS 5 — the only commercially viable European mobile OS
• A physical privacy switch (kill camera/mic when you want)
• A replaceable battery (remember those?)
• Android app compatibility (because we're practical)
• No Google Play Services siphoning your data

We spent 12 years in the wilderness, keeping Sailfish OS alive through die-hard community support. While the mobile OS graveyard filled with names like Symbian, MeeGo, Firefox OS and Windows Phone — we survived.

Now there are only four commercially viable mobile operating systems left in the world and only one is from Europe:
• iOS (US)
• Android (US)
• HarmonyOS (China)
• Sailfish OS (Europe) ⭐️

This comeback isn't driven by investors or quarterly targets. It's driven by something simpler: We just love building products that actually deserves to exist. No fake-it-until-you-make-it. Just engineering, iteration, and a belief that Europe needs its own mobile platform.

The phone pre-order launches today at https://t.co/k5Eizb3tdu. 5G, dual-SIM, 12GB RAM, replaceable covers in Snow White, Kaamos Black, and The Orange (yes, THAT orange — nostalgia included).

If you believe #Europe should have alternatives to #BigTech, if you're tired of being the product instead of a respected customer, if you remember what it felt like when phones were tools instead of surveillance devices — this is for you.

We're not naive. We're just stubborn.
Welcome back, Jolla. 🇪🇺

I keep running into people who think wireless technologies are going to replace fiber optics for communications. Either Wifi, Cellular or Satellite (Starlink).

It's never going to happen.

This picture of the electromagnetic spectrum shows one reason why. All wireless communications use radio frequencies, whereas fiber uses optical frequencies which are up 10,000 times higher. A single strand of fiber can carry about 5,000 times as much data as a radio transmission.

The inset image of an approx. 1" fiber cable carrying 1,732 individual fiber strands is another reason why fiber is king. You can't run thousands of radio transmissions in the same dense area since the signals interfere with each other, but you can run an unlimited number of fiber cables along side each other.

The fact is that wireless and fiber are complementary technologies. We need both. Wireless for ships, airplanes, rural, WiFi and in city iPhone coverage. And then all those radio based wireless services forward all those data packets to the Internet using fiber.

The AI revolution is already here, but not as you think. Companies all over the world work hard at “microtargeting” you with ads and tracking your every online-move, and scientists help along by figuring out how to best use AI to engineer human behavior.

Mietin uudessa kolumnissa sitä, että löytyykö elämän merkitys ja
suunta "manifestoimalla" ja omaa pääkoppaa kaivelemalla, kristalliterapiasta puhumattakaan? Vai voiko olla niin että kun uushenkisyydestä
etsitään ahdistukseen apua, sen sisäänpäin kääntyvät puolet syöksevät vain entistä
pahempaan syöverin? https://t.co/a3p9pPxSXD

In 1985 an astronaut noticed this physical behavior of a handle, that turned out to be the proof of a theorem: the tennis racket theorem (also dubbed the Dzhanibekov effect).
