  • As a Windows refugee, I appreciate that KDE Plasma works like Windows. I was missing a window manager style from Windows called FancyZones and wouldn’t you know it somebody made that for Plasma. Now I’m truly fully entrenched being a Linux normie user.

  • I still have my Moto Z Play. Motorola had a small distribution in my country so I managed to get the battery pack, but I had to import myself the projector. I shoould try and turn mine on again and see how it’s holding. It is still the most impressive phone to me as a whole. Great performance to price ratio, battery lasts for 2 days with active usage when it was new. It’s bloody stupid that flagship phones and android bloat can’t still get me a full days worth without putting g on ridiculous battery savings shenanigans.

  • I am gutted that my LG Wing’s USB port is damaged. I can still charge it thanks to having wireless charging so now I always look for phones with one AS A BACKUP for charging.

    But it’s the fun quirky spinning slider screen is just amazing. For pure unadulterated brain rot doomscrolling, I can put on a YouTube video or stream on the main screen and hold the phone “upright”, the video will be playing in full screen and I can shitpost in discord or anywhere on the small screen.

    Or if I want to shitpost more seriously, I swap the positions and hold the phone 90 degrees and have whatever social media I have on the main screen in portrait and have the video play on the small screen.

    It also makes for a great car phone. Have whatever navigation app I’m running on the main, and have the music player on the small screen to easily change tracks. Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to crack the back open and replace the USB port.

  • Nokia with Windows Phone is great. It is still the best interface just right before MS made it worse with WP10 IMO. It is still amazing to me that when I gave one to my mom back when she was changing from a normal non touch screen phone, she immediately gets it and I don’t have to coach.

    And I personally also like the design philosophy behind WP 7 up until 8.1. I just can’t get behind WP10 and later.

  • Yes, and of phones I’ve never had and always wanted. The phone I had that I reminisce is my Nokia 808 PureView. The camera stack is revolutionary for its time that everyone basically uses it in bad and cost cutting ways IMO. But truly the best thing about it is the microphone. To this day I am still not impressed with. Sure I’m no techtuber that can get overpriced phones but even watching review videos and using headphones in their video recording sections the sound captured is okay at best.

    The phones that I reminisce that I never had but always wanted is the Nokia N86 and many of the Nokia keyboard slider phones. the N86 is just because it is a normal slide phone usually, except that it can slide down to reveal music playback buttons. Nokia horizontal keyboard slider is just a nerd dream. Oh and the Nokia N900. And the Nokia N9. I might be a Nokia fanboy back I’m the day

  • spaghetti project

    that’s what I mean. it became this absolute mess because devs coming and going.

    long ago the original team started the project. along the way it became a minor spaghetti. and along the way Roberts starts to feature creep. devs fed up and left. replaced with new devs. some might be new, and enticed by working with Roberts. Roberts creeper more feature. more spaghetti. repeat.

    I kind of remember they did a few revamping the codebase along the way a few times. by this point it’s been a decade, there’s a few changes of the teams, and god knows how well their documentation is. But by this 10th year in my headcanon, Roberts is already swimming in money and maybe this is where he decided to just not finish the game. maybe he decided earlier, or later. idk

    fast forward to now. game still isn’t finish. game still runs like ass. some people still keep buying fungible tokens. that’s what the ships amount to, ultimately, in my eyes.
