But can Motorola partner with GrapheneOS without being kicked out by Google from their ecosystem? I understood that Google required that all their stuff was installed on all Android phones from a given manufacturer?
I'd be happy if that is wrong, though.

Politically motivated decisions is a possible explanation. But if you think about it, running ground transportation probably costs similar amounts for all systems (trains or cars), which is to be divided by the fill rate. In average, trains are about 75% full and so is a 4 seater car with 3 persons.

It is actually oricom, not orico. I looked it up, because I found it surprising that a CB radio would use SMA. Then I found the manual here https://www.manua.ls/oricom/dtx600/manual
It is a "UFH CB", specific to Australia and New Zealand.
It is probably a SMA edge connector, they are very cheap: https://www.alibaba.com/pla/SMA+Connector++SMA+Jack+Female+Edge+Mount+End+Launch+PCB+Short+Version+Straight+RF+Coaxial+Connector+Wifi+Module_1600623114618.html

Eventually, you will have to talk to the European commission.

Europe (including France) is discussing about moving away from US-controlled phones operating systems. Therefore Europe needs a safe, robust and privacy protecting OS like graphene. I don't need to convince you, you know the drill better than I do.

This is not possible without that same OS allowing criminals to hide. So what? The criminals always hid, the police has other means to get to them.

If you want a job, employers want to see your Linkedin and FB account. It may not be always legal, but it is hard to prove you did not get the job because of lack of access or lack or a suitable track record.
In some dating circles, people who do not have the right pictures to show on their phones are suspicious.
Online shopping sites make it more difficult for new customers and will extra check them. It is easier if you have a track record of purchases.

If you need credit, you need a record of your credit usage. Problem if you pay most in cash. In countries where most people pay by card, be prepared to explain what you do with your money if you are controlled by the tax authorities. They will have access to your bank accounts and see cash withdrawals.

It is good that someone posts about the importance of metadata.

However, in a surveillance state, the absence of signal is a signal in itself. If you do not have a continuous track of metadata on social networks, if you do not show a record of your life as a "good citizen", that is enough of a signal to light a warning. And that is a lot more difficult to escape.

Interessant. Aber zeigt, dass Europa um die 666 TWh/Jahr mit Hydro produziert, so 166 pro Quartal. Die andere Graphik aber zeigt, dass Europa 18 TWh mehr im 2. Quartal 2024 erzeugt hat, also 10%.
Hat es aber im Frühling 2024 stärker geregnet als sonst? Ja: https://climate.copernicus.eu/precipitation-relative-humidity-and-soil-moisture-may-2024

Einst bin ich aber bereit zu erkennen (doch! 😀): dieses Graphik hier zeigt eindeutig, dass Europa jetzt weniger Strom aus fossile Quellen erzeugt. Und das ist das Einzige, dass wirklicht zählt. Egal, ob es eingespart oder solar erzeugt wird.

_________________________

I had a look at the map. It is a network of 350 kW charging stations, not dedicated to trucks. Some cars can use that power as well and charge quite fast. A 500 kWh truck would use a slot for over an hour (and need a big slot to park). Typical nodes would have less than 10 slots.
Basically, it is not there yet.
So it will need to be increased, but to increase the number of nodes and slots, we will need to build power lines. That is the problem.

I am afraid that the problem will be the charging stations. Let us take a round figure of 500 kWh for the typical charge of a truck. That is quite a bit of energy which needs to be delivered to the charging stations along the motorways. We don't typically have large power lines to the motorway service stations, they are not needed.
The present network for truck service stations is small (on the Scania site your cited). This will take time.

Diesel fuel has a very high energy density. One ton of batteries will only replace the smallest tanks or about 200km. Charging these in a decent time will require huge investments. It is doable with today's technology but not very attractive except in special cases.

You are taking it backwards. If you have a suitable place, then the people will come and the community will form, just like the bridge story. As some people have noted in this thread, the fediverse is not far from a "suitable place".
Of course, after a little while, the place will be easier to use because tinkerers tinker and eventually it will be eternal September. This happened several times.
But in the meantime, it will work.
