#geminipda — Public Fediverse posts

You have **no idea** how long it has taken me to get #postmarketos compiled, flashed and booting on a #geminipda

(With an added semblance of an Internet connection.)

I need a break from touching computer for a bit.

🤣

I've been enamoured with the idea of getting a vintage micro-laptop for a long time now, but doubted I'd manage to do anything with them. Then I found the Gemini PDA, and that it was on sale, so I had to grab one. It's a cute little thing! #GeminiPDA

Took some time to mess with a Gemini PDA I had laying around. What a perfect little note-taking machine - just wish I could run a proper Linux on it. Termux is quite powerful, however.

I love the "smol laptop" formfactor so damn much. This thing would be a perfect device if it had an rPi crammed inside of it instead of some dead end chip stuck on Android 7.1.

For anyone after a #Psion Agenda-like experience on a #MobileLinux #PDA, I've just released v0.2.9 of #Pygenda (alpha, WIP!).

Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvQqFmlZ6nM

GitHub: https://github.com/semiprime/pygenda

v0.2.9 adds two nice new features: repeats like "last Monday in May" and todo item due dates.

I run it on my #GeminiPDA, but it's written in Python/GTK3 so should run on similar keyboard devices. Would love to hear from anyone running it on a #PinePhone, #FXTec #Pro1x, #GPD, #eeePC, #Zaurus, or other!

I've released a new version of #Pygenda - my agenda app targeting keyboard-equipped mobile Linux devices. The UI is inspired by Agenda apps on #Psion PDAs, & v0.2.7 adds a zoom feature, making it feel even more Psion-like.

To celebrate, I made a new video of it running on a #GeminiPDA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvQqFmlZ6nM

It's alpha software & it would be great if people could test it on similar devices, e.g. a #PinePhone + keyboard.

#GeminiPDA

I've released a new version of #Pygenda, my work-in-progress Psion Agenda-inspired agenda app targeting keyboard #PDA/ #palmtop devices.

Source: https://github.com/semiprime/pygenda

I use it on my Linux-running #GeminiPDA, & someone ran it on a #DevTerm, but it should work on anything with Python3.5+ & GTK3 (for handhelds that probably means Linux). I'd love feedback from anyone running it on other platforms (#PinePhone, #Fxtec #Pro1x, #GPD), and from other fans of #Psion Agenda.

I've finally had it with my the #SamsungGalaxyA12. After nearly two years of constant mis-clicks, dialling people I didn't want to talk to, bringing up Google Assistant in the middle of calls and videos, nearly banning people from a Twitch stream I moderate, it's time to relegate it to texts and calls only till my contract runs out. I'll use my #geminipda for my mobile internet needs until the Samsung's contract is up. Then I'll be going back to whatever the affordable #sonyxperia option is.

I've released an update for my Psion Agenda-inspired calendar app "Pygenda". Written for my Linux-running Gemini PDA, but it should work on similar keyboard PDAs running Linux & Python3.5+.

GitHub: https://github.com/semiprime/pygenda

Video of it on a Gemini: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjHcgeRudMo (from 2021, so additions since then)

It's a work-in-progress, with many missing features (& bugs). However, I'm using it as my main agenda/to-do list, so others may find it useful. Feedback welcome! #Psion #PDA #GeminiPDA #GTK

Genshin Impact for Android sounded interesting so I thought I'd give it a go on my #geminipda. After installation and login, it then started an 18Gb download. Erm... I don't think so, thank you. Not with only 64Gb internal storage.

@martijnbraam Wow, very cool! Ahh it kinda hurts to see that this could have been the #geminiPDA...

But they unfortunately failed to take GNU/Linux support seriously and so only a pretty customized Android kernel runs on those devices...

Man, the Cassiopeia! I had the A-10, which got stolen shortly after purchasing it :( WinCE 1.0! I Wrote about it in my #gopher hole:

Also, I have been eyeing the Astro Slide, but it is quite expensive, so I opted to keep using my #GeminiPDA. I was one of the original backers so I got the Wifi edition for cheap. Love that Planet Computers is still making stuff.

@sk313t0n @nitox I got hold onto one #geminipda - the Linux support is a farce. You don't get a proper Linux kernel running there but rather an Android kernel and a unsteadily running Debian on top of it.

And of course, Mediatek doesn't give a shit about mainlining this chip, so I was quite disappointed.

Finally running #pico8 on my Planet Computers #GeminiPDA with #SailfishOS. The downside is that it only works in portrait mode. :(

Late to the party...Monday's announcement from #PlanetComputers: New device - Cosmo Communicator

Too soon! I'm still loving the #GeminiPDA! But I love the enhancements for #Cosmo, especially the backlit keyboard and external screen! Hard decisions for a gadget freak on a budget 😂 #pda
