#openstreetmap started blocking the mapping app I am using on my Nokia #N900 :(
"user-agent": "CloudGPS for N900"
I realize there's maybe 5 of us so no one's going to notice the suck we suffer :P
I wrote a proxy to lie about user agent. Annoying.
But free, public, mutual #Web is dying. How are kids going to learn if they have to jump through advanced hoops to access anything? Where will the new generation come from?
Maybe we should create an overlay network for nerds only.

The small N900 screen was good, since a resistive-screen stylus controlled all those linux app buttons so easily. No finger-width spacing! The stylus was simple plastic, easy to replace.

I read makers saying they don't want to make room for a stylus, but honestly I would be willing to hold mine on with a rubberband, to get that level of touch-screen control again.

@jz oh, had been eyeing the #pinephone, too, how satisfied are you with it, would you get it again? As an old #N900 user I find the keyboard accessory nice and found the LoRa addon very interesting. And the variety of free, mobile #Linux distros / ecosystem that supposedly runs with it.
The other device I've otherwise been eyeing is the #Fairphone, also because of its long software warranty and advertised #LineageOS support.
Thank you @fosdem for keeping the Pentabarf XML format of the schedule!
I'm still using ConfClerk on the #N900 .
I hope one day #LinuxMobile phones will become pocket sized and only need charging every 5 days, but until then, I'm only carrying my museum piece.

@danct12 #Nokia did a (soft) launch party for the #N900 at the BFI on the South Bank in London in September 2009.
lcuk had had a prototype, so we were able to do a cool demo: https://youtu.be/yk27PenpAz0
_EDIT:_ I note wryly that Nokia's blog post about this is now on the #Microsoft website: https://blogs.windows.com/devices/2009/09/04/n900-to-appear-in-london-next-week/
Ja, das #Nokia #N900 habe ich wirklich geliebt. Das Teil mit neuer Hardware würde ich sofort wieder kaufen.

Der Werbespot ist mir neu - glaube ich hätte gerne damals bei Nokia gearbeitet.

I've just released v0.3.3 of Pygenda - my WIP #Psion-inspired agenda app for keyboard-equipped mobile linux devices. Main change is to move to more modern packaging, which should mean less fiddly installation & less work for me. So in theory a good time to try it out.
Source/docs: https://github.com/semiprime/pygenda
Video I always share of Pygenda on a #GeminiPDA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvQqFmlZ6nM
Devices it should fit: #PinePhone+keyboard, #GPD, #pro1x #EeePC, #n900, #Zaurus, #CosmoCommunicator

Ausnahmen gibt es natürlich. Zum Beispiel die wikipedia-relevant schlechte microUSB Buchse vom Nokia #N900.
Looking for a #Psion-like experience on your #mobileLinux device? I've just released version 0.3.1 of Pygenda - my WIP Agenda app.
https://github.com/semiprime/pygenda
No headline feature this time, but some convenience & in-progress features I wanted to make available for testing.
Designed for #PDA devices (e.g. #PinePhone with keyboard). I use it on my #GeminiPDA and I have install guides for #postmarketOS & Debian-like OSes. Would love to hear from people testing on their #MNT, #Zaurus, #eeePC, #n900…

Released a new version of Pygenda - my WIP #Psion-inspired agenda app for keyboard-equipped #MobileLinux devices. Version bump to 0.3.0 because it now supports multiple backends, including Evolution Data Server.

Would be grateful for feedback - especially from people trying it on #PinePhone, #GPD, #pro1x, #n900, #eeePC, #Zaurus, etc.

There it is. My #Nokia #N900 #eBay purchase has been blessed with #postmarketOS. This is going to be my new #MobileLinux #SSH #Terminal device.
My old #n900 booting the mainline kernel on #postmarketOS, installed on a 1TB SD card.
When this came out, flash memory was $1620/TB [1], and a 32GB SD card was *huge*. I don't think anyone expected to install a 1TB card in one. A lot can be said for maintaining backwards compatibility!

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.
#N900 successfully revived!
The battery was completely dead and it took some time to get it charged up again, tried three cables, only one worked when it was completely dead.
btw i use @postmarketOS

As much as I love the #N900, in this case it's not really the smartphone itself I care about. Having access to the internal storage would be enough, honestly.
