Geekiest nostalgia dream ever, playing with the #nokia #N9 and #N900. Damn I miss those.

RETRACTION: #openstreetmap IS NOT blocking my favorite client.
But I DID jump to conclusions.

I'll try to be more thorough before complaining, even though I'm failing in recent cases.

I'll donate for the 20MiB of tiles I download per year, I promise :P

Once I have more time I'll try #Maemo #Leste but that day is not coming soon.

Leafpad to prosty i lekki edytor tekstu zbudowany na GTK+, który kładzie nacisk na prostotę. Ponieważ rozwój koncentruje się na utrzymaniu wagi na minimalnym poziomie, w edytorze zaimplementowano tylko najważniejsze funkcje. https://biznes.linuxiarze.pl/leafpad/ #texteditor #linux #bsd #maemo

And #MeeGo aka. #Maemo kinda was lauched dead in the water, with even less support than the #OpenMoko powered FIC Neo1973 in it's days, which was as approachable to #TechIlliterates as a F-22 cockpit to an illiterate…

Conboy – a note taking application that works as a desktop wiki on the Maemo platform. Conboy can read and write the Tomboy file format to be compatible with Tomboy on Linux, Mac and Windows. https://archiveapp.org/conboy/ #notes #maemo

A bit of #computinghistory : part 3 of "20 years of Linux on the desktop".

When mobile started to disrupt desktop computing…

20 years of Linux on the Desktop (part 3)

Read chapter 3 of the book I’m currently writing about the history of Linux on the desktop.

Still looking for an agent or a publisher to make a dead-tree version of it…

@decibyte Maemo, Qt, 770, N8**, N9**... I feel very fortunate for having been there most of that ride. The N900 was a memorable device indeed. I have crossed paths with a few former users over the years, people seemed to really like it.

#Maemo (and that side of #Nokia) was a very exciting and ultimately very sad European tech & business story.

@qt is still doing well! Very good for them. The trolls have been as flexible and tout-terrain as their software all along.

I remember when Soundcloud started back in 2007-2008. Back then I worked at the #Maemo team and my colleague Jussi came from #Berlin explaining how cool this project and these people were. Soundcloud would become a platform supporting a lot of the music and the artists I like.

Soundcloud has lost its cool, sure, but look what happened to the rest. And I have been a paying customer in the past couple of years and I think they are improving. Not the rest.

so does this whole thing with #apple mean we will finally be getting a fully functional #linux phone that doesn't suck? it would be great if fxtec started selling phones again. the last legitimate linux phone was the nokia #n900 running #maemo and i really wish we could get back to those days.

Mine still boots RT @danct12: Today is #Nokia #N900 15th anniversary.

Nokia N900 was released on November 11th, 2009 and is one of the few last mobile Linux devices.

It is also the last device to be shipped with the Maemo operating system.

@danct12

The keyboard was the killer feature! I still have one over here...

It was a bit heavy in weight, but that made it also feel very sturdy.

#mobilelinux #maemo

@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/
