Matt Lewis<p>I've released version 0.3.7 of my WIP <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Psion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Psion</span></a> Agenda-like app "Pygenda" targeting keyboard-equipped PDAs running Linux (<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/GeminiPDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeminiPDA</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/CosmoCommunicator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CosmoCommunicator</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/PinePhone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PinePhone</span></a> + keyboard, <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/PocketReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PocketReform</span></a>, F(x)tec <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Pro1X" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pro1X</span></a>).</p><p>The last two releases have been bug-fix releases (two releases because minutes after 0.3.6, I noticed an API change in a dependency was causing a crash &amp; rushed out a fix).

Matt Lewis<p>I've just released version 0.3.5 of Pygenda - my WIP <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Psion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Psion</span></a> Agenda-like app targetting <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/GeminiPDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeminiPDA</span></a> &amp; <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/CosmoCommunicator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CosmoCommunicator</span></a> running Linux.

This has been a useful improvement for me as I now see todos in my "home" views, rather than having to switch to Todo View.</p>
Matt Lewis<p>I've just released version 0.3.4 of Pygenda, my WIP Psion-style agenda application for keyboard-equipped handhelds running GNU-like Linux.

Matt Lewis<p>I bought a second-hand Cosmo Communicator a few weeks ago for miscellaneous tinkering. One aim was to get Pygenda (my Psion-inspired agenda app) running as well as on the Gemini PDA. It took a bit longer than expected, due to other activities &amp; unanticipated differences between their Debian installs, but it's looking pretty good now.<br><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/GeminiPDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeminiPDA</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/CosmoCommunicator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CosmoCommunicator</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/LinuxMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMobile</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/PDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PDA</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Psion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Psion</span></a><br>(The appointments shown in the photo are not my real agenda - my social life is much less exciting 🙂)</p>
LINux on MOBile<p>While my ASUS C101P is great for subway productivity when seated, I can't use it when standing or on the go. Missing my PinePhone Pro Micro Laptop, I've looked into the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/CosmoCommunicator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CosmoCommunicator</span></a> again <a href="https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Planet_Computers_Cosmo_Communicator_(planet-cosmocom)" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Pla</span><span class="invisible">net_Computers_Cosmo_Communicator_(planet-cosmocom)</span></a>. </p><p>Its mainline story is not great sadly, but then it seems to be awfully close in some ways to the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MT8183" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MT8183</span></a> that has decent mainline support <a href="https://www.notebookcheck.net/MT8183-vs-Helio-P60_11547_10012.247596.0.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">notebookcheck.net/MT8183-vs-He</span><span class="invisible">lio-P60_11547_10012.247596.0.html</span></a>. Obviously, the MT8183 lacks a bunch of stuff the MT6771T has, but ... that might be a starting point, right?</p>
Matt Lewis<p>I've just released v0.3.3 of Pygenda - my WIP <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Psion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Psion</span></a>-inspired agenda app for keyboard-equipped mobile linux devices. Main change is to move to more modern packaging, which should mean less fiddly installation &amp; less work for me.

medvedych<p>неочевидный момент аппарата с экраном в ландшафтном режиме, но при этом не планшета - значительную часть информации приходится рассматривать в щелку между верхней и нижней панелями.<br><a href="https://neverwhe.re/tags/cosmocommunicator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cosmocommunicator</span></a></p>
medvedych<p>Штош, в плане поддержки софта <a href="https://neverwhe.re/tags/cosmocommunicator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cosmocommunicator</span></a> еще большее говно чем <a href="https://neverwhe.re/tags/geminipda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>geminipda</span></a>. На гемини просто шьеш нужную версию через FlashTool и не страдаешь.<br>Тут - железка приходит с Android 9 v16, на котором не работает OTA. На сайте конечно есть образы, но найти их нетривиально. Причем последний апдейт вроде как v25, но в виде файлов он есть только с рутованным андроидом. А обычный только 23. А OTA апдейт на 25 тоже не работает.</p>
cthululemon<p>Anybody have any imaginative use cases for a Cosmo Communicator? I’ve had one for a few years and don’t really see myself using it as a phone, but it’s powerful enough that it should be able to do something cool…</p><p><a href="https://donkey.social/tags/CosmoCommunicator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CosmoCommunicator</span></a></p>
Darren Nevares<p><span>So thinking on getting either the </span><a href="https://firefish.social/tags/PinePhone" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PinePhone</a><span> or </span><a href="https://firefish.social/tags/CosmoCommunicator" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CosmoCommunicator</a><span> because both seem very tinkery plus I love phones with physical keyboards!</span></p>
