#palm

@cstross@wandering.shop @j2bryson@mastodon.social @newtontalk@bitbang.social I respectfully disagree. I could write up to 20-30 words per minute on my #Palm. I even started writing that way on paper. I'm a total klutz with on screen keyboards. Barely get ten words a minute and usually have to go back to correct something--errors often caused by auto-correct. Aside: I have a perennial problem with auto-correct word confusion. Big ones are "think" vs "thing" and "text" vs "test". The #Graffiti strokes are designed to disambiguate input so I had no mistakes of that kind back in the day. Much better to write what I mean rather than allow the device to guess. #StrokeInput for #iOS is a nice attempt to bring #Graffiti into our tiny keyboard worlds. It doesn't feel as "natural" as it did on the Palm (or my hands and eyes got older 😉 ). Unfortunately I don't have a functioning Palm device for comparison... but a stylus-based short hand makes much more sense than an on-screen keyboard to me. PS: "...only instead of a limited alphabet they recognize an entire dictionary full of words" StrokeInput appears to be hooked up to the iOS word-completion engine. So in that sense it has been modernized.

@cstross@wandering.shop @j2bryson@mastodon.social @newtontalk@bitbang.social Unfortunately... most of my problem comes from large fingers on tiny screens. 🙁 Perhaps some tuning would help. But I took to the #Palm and developed fluent stylus-based text input within days. I've been using #iOS devices for more than ten years with little progress beyond typing with thumbs and going back to make corrections. I realized that many of you who are reading this might not even know what the #Palm user interface looked like. So here are some photos. Note the #Graffiti cheat sheet--all basic A-Z and 0-9 gestures were single strokes, with the exception of 'X'. Graffiti was (and remains) a robust idea. 👍

I really hope we can find a way to improve the battery life of the PinePhone Pro with Linux Mobile. Currently my Palm Pepito last longer, despite the cute form factor. #linuxmobile #pinephonepro #palm #sxmo

Focus on Coffs Harbour and Nambucca Valley "NSW modern slavery report calls for urgent reform to protect migrant workers." A NSW parliamentary report into modern slavery has detailed "harrowing stories of mistreatment and harm..The report asked the government to investigate allegations of systemic labour exploitation in Coffs Harbour and the Nambucca Valley. "NSW Anti-slavery commissioner Dr James Cockayne said in a statement the report was "informed by evidence from almost 100 witnesses across NSW, including victim survivors of modern slavery, and 60 submissions"." >> https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-06/nsw-anti-slavery-report-urgent-reform-to-protect-migrant-workers/107003130 #exploitation #PALM #MidNorthCoast #HorticulturalIndustry #blueberries #CoffsHarbour #NambuccaValley #food #harm #slavery #regulation

The daily thunderstorms are here, but I am keeping a beachy state of mind. A tropical monstera leaf always makes me feel like summer in Florida.

I finally got one of last missing #palm #PDA Modell in my collection: Palm Tungsten W The first palm "smartphone".

This thing still looks like the future. #palm #clie #sony #pda #blastfromthepast #dott #scumm

Watched the last episode of #DeadLikeMe last night, and watched the direct-to-DVD movie early this morning. The final episode was a nice capper to the series, although it left a lot of questions unanswered (understandably, though). The movie (Dead Like Me: #LifeAfterDeath)? Absolute #shovelware. It did not make a lick of sense, whatsoever. The new actor played Daisy Adair with all of the subtlety of a dump truck, Henry Ian Cusick's talents were wasted on a character with zero perceptible motivation, Roxy somehow lost all of her street smarts in an instant after schmoozing with the police commissioner, and while George's character got some nice closure (although not entirely believable), the whole thing felt really off and bewildering. I think the only character that was fully true to the original was Mason, my personal favorite. Pretty hard to mess up a character that's already so utterly morally bankrupt 🤣 But overall the character development for George, her mom, and her sister was nice. I'm thankful Joy finally became a tolerable character in the last view episodes. I kinda wanted to slap her throughout the first season. Just very typical unhappy wife schlock. She was actually likeable and sympathetic in the movie. Also the #Palm #Treo product placement in #2009 was hilarious. But yeah, don't ask me to summarize the plot, because I really couldn't find it. Nothing made a lick of sense. Not direct quotes, but they could have been: "Oh man, he gave us these new high-tech smartphones, but he gave me some bad info. I need to get a hold of him. I wonder HOW!!!" "You're such an evil person, because all you care about is money, even though you're treating us to this really lavish lifestyle, and you're not actually making money from any of this... this is so confusing, we're going to kill you!" This could very well be the worst movie I've seen, omitting things seen on #MysteryScienceTheatre3000 and Christian #glurge films like "God's Not Dead." (Christian Pop-Eschatology movies deserve their own category in the lowest circle of hell, appropriately enough)

@memo@mstdn.mv2k.com interessante Idee. Wie ist das Palm Gerät?! Gibt es für Palm, Signal oder zumindest SMS?! #palm #digitalindependenceday #diday #did #Dud

#SMS SIM-Karte in das #Nokia 3310 gewechselt; #Palm #Treo 650 #Kalender, #Aufgaben, #Haushaltsbuch etc. auf den neusten Stand gebracht. Es fühlt sich für mich irgendwie schon nach einer nahenden Internetpause an. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Eigentlich™ hatte ich ja vor, keinen eigenen #Server mehr zu betreiben, sondern nur noch auf externe Ressourcen und Tools zurückzugreifen – eigentlich … Da für mich die Vorteile eigener #Fediverse - Instanzen aber wichtig sind – zu wichtig, um sie nicht weiterzubetreiben, – ist einer von drei Servern nach wie vor online. Auf meiner Suche nach Ersatz-Tools für Programme, die ich auf meinem #Palm #Treo 650 nutzte, bin ich mit dem, was ich da gefunden habe, nicht wirklich glücklich geworden, und so habe ich gestern #Firefly iii ( #Haushaltsbuch / #Finanzverwaltung ) installiert, und bin heute dabei, #Grocy neu zu installieren. Zunächst habe ich alles für mich Überflüssige abgeschaltet, damit wirklich nur noch die Einkaufsliste übrig bleibt, und bin jetzt dabei (Achtung: Fleißarbeit), die einzelnen Artikel einzugeben. Grocy nur wegen der #Einkaufsliste zu nutzen, ist ein wenig wie “mit Kanonen auf Spatzen zu schießen”, aber tatsächlich gibt es keine (zumindest habe ich nichts gefunden) Einkaufsliste, die Preise mit berücksichtigt. Wenn ich damit dann fertig bin, kann ich den Palm Treo in die Schublade legen.

Das ging jetzt doch deutlich schneller, als ich gedacht hatte. Für das #Haushaltsbuch habe ich eine sehr schöne Lösung gefunden; für die #Einkaufsliste – nun ja. Es gibt zwar Bring! und ähnliche Tools, aber die sind nur so lala. Ich habe trotzdem eine Lösung für mich gefunden, und werde nicht nur deswegen den #Palm #Treo weiterlaufen lassen. 😉 Jetzt muss DHL nur noch das #Google #Pixel liefern. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
