Dog imitating Penguins 🤣

I had the opportunity to meet up with #Jolla again to talk about (and see!) how the new Jolla Phone is progressing, including new iteration that is using tooling and not hand-made.

Write-up at forum.sailfishos.org/t/first-impr... and a couple more photos if you're interested!

Harvemmin mikään menee edes vähä-kiinnostavuuden puolelle, mutta postauksen saaman huomion perusteella, Suomen "uusi Nokia" saattaa olla Elopin aikainen pelastusvene.

#Jolla herättää selvää innostusta.

Ja sitä ei suomalaisyritysten kohdalla ole liikaa viime vuosina ollut.

Good thing this isn’t a Nokia :)

This is 100% true. They bankrupted the old company and acquired the assets into a fresh company. There is zero Russian involvement.

"Thirteen years later, #Jolla is back with new hardware, 10,000 pre-orders, and a renewed argument that Europe deserves its own smartphone ecosystem."

Jussi Ekholm talking about some swords in front of him. Including a kodachi and several katana and a naginata blade.

A hand holds a decorative katana with a curved blade and intricately designed hilt. This is a blade from WWII which Japanese soldiers used.

This decorative small item would hold a mini knife linked to a saya.

A spear blade with intricate rune-like figures in black.

#JussiEkholm hosted a fantastic afternoon on Japanese #katana (and other) #swords and blades. Such an amazing craft.

An exhibition display showcasing Jolla smartphones. There is a big display that looks like a Jolla phone, while three actual phones are positioned below, each with a distinctive design and connected to charging cables. The background is minimalistic and predominantly white.

Three Jolla smartphones are displayed on a white surface, each showcasing their screen with vibrant red wallpapers. Beside each phone is a card detailing specifications. A stylized white box marked with the Jolla logo is positioned behind the smartphones.

Feels like the dawn of a new era. Will play around with them soon. Also featuring an exciting new product … the Giga-Jolla! Limited edition of 1 :)

Anything you want I know?

Here are a couple of photos of me playing around with the new #Jolla #smartphone (or pocket computer, as I like to call it). While I’m still fond of slightly smaller phones, I realise there aren’t many good options for that, unless you have the capital for a […]

Here is the website of the German company I suspect is the key partner for Donut Labs’ / Verge’s battery. With more information on their #solidStateBattery:

I’ve done some investigation into the big claims by #DonutLabs and their first use of a #solidStateBattery (in the #Verge #EV motorbike). In an old interview on Finnish public broadcaster Yle, they stated to be working with a German ‘innovator’ on a battery. After looking around for who that […]

I think they also need to have more integrated support for Google Play Services (sadly). Difficult to ask users to go through the hoops to get those things working. And it's pretty finicky (can break with an update). Also think Jolla Store should have a developer bizmodel (ie. payments).

You're responding to Mastodon-me, but just to continue the discussion here: I believe it doesn't support being used as a keycard for Tesla (despite app now working after some effort). My Jeep app doesn't work (may or may not be Sailfish issue though). Lack of CarPlay/AAuto is big issue :(

Just gonna leave this here...

I just graded 1st dan in Aiki Toho Iai / #Nishio Toho #Iaido (an intricate and beautiful form of iaido that connects with #aikido principles). Directly to Iwakata-sensei.

Not my best performance in my view but sensei stated it was good and nice pace with no major complaints.

I do support that right. I won’t support Hamas’s desire for public executions (or a number of other stuff they get into).

I'd expect them to not do public executions.

Your reply isn't bridged over to Mastodon so replying with my Bsky account (rarely used).

The #Trump company behind #TruthSocial, #TrumpMedia, has apparently acquired a large $2bn stake in #bitcoin. That represents a massive 2/3 of all its assets.

It was early on in the show, in a spot where songs never usually fare well. It wasn’t a favourite going into the show. No-one was really talking about it. Everyone’s uncomfortable around them.

And then suddenly WHOOSH, winner of the televote apparently! Pull the other one. This is a joke.

I'm still proud of Sweden for breaking its pattern, and send something "not so polished, not so damn serious" act as KAJ was.

And just the fact we sent something in Swedish language, which Sweden hasn't since the removal of "the language ban" in 1998, is worth a 12 points by its own!
