Delib<p>The small N900 screen was good, since a resistive-screen stylus controlled all those linux app buttons so easily. No finger-width spacing!

Main change is to move to more modern packaging, which should mean less fiddly installation &amp; less work for me.

Eine Recherche, wo ich großen Spaß hatte, angefangen bei einem sehr spannenden Interview mit @ollieparanoid bis hinzu freudiges herum experimentieren auf Vintage-Geräten: @postmarketOS ausprobiert und Hintergründe zum Projekt und der Entstehungsgeschichte. Jetzt schon auf @heiseonline heise+, ab Samstag dann auch am Kiosk in @ct_Magazin

Siedzę sobie w cziszy, pracuję i słyszę, że jakaś elektronika płacze o prąd.
Obejrzałem wszystko co leży dookoła - spoko, na kabelkach, naładowane.
A tu znów za pleców - jeeeeść…
Przeglądam karton ze starymi telefonami, a tam #N900 z 9% baterii płacze…

Dwa tygodnie temu podładowywałem stare telefony, żeby im bakterie nie zdechły i tego jednego zapomniałem wyłączyć.
