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

FWIW this is by far less dangerous and aggressive than oxygen, which caused the first global mass extinction when it started to amass in earth's atmosphere (and plays a major role in the corrosion of iron you mentioned).
And yet people tell you to breathe in and out...

So just sink them.
Accidents happen.
Next please!

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 wasn't aware of that.
Thanks for letting me know!

You need close to three times (2.78) the energy for accelerating to 50 instead of 30.
If you have to brake, that energy gets converted to heat.
Rinse and repeat.
Especially in urban areas where there's alot of acceleration/deceleration - or just acceleration with different algebraic signs - more speed means more fuel per distance.

Google is paving the ground for Linuxphones.
It's so blatantly obvious how evil they've become that it makes striving for alternatives a necessity.

Lucky me needs Proxmox only for self-hosting and loves it :)

Maybe it is, but it still is bad and good to point out what happens.

Especially considering this was losless - strictly speaking only the compression of the SSD was... 😈
