  1. CW: Ranting about Microslop mishandling the Lumia 950 and 950 XL

    An expensive phone with cheap-feeling plastic used in its construction combined with a half-baked OS version is a really, really bad value proposition. "Oh but the camera is good!" Yeah ok, I don't only buy phones for a camera even though that's a really important part of it for me. Don't forget the speaker being on the back next to the camera and the weird volume button layout for one or both of them.

  2. "She couldn't follow you anymore, she couldn't go on." - me talking about me when Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 11

    #Windows10Mobile (not to be confused with the true Windows NT/CE OS for modern-style smartphones, #WindowsPhone as they're not the same thing) #Windows11 #Windows

  3. #WindowsPhone was saved from a terrible fate by going away before #Windows11 became a thing and all the obnoxious stuff it brought and "AI" trash polluted Windows. #Windows10 isn't good but it's way better than 11.

  4. Windows on a phone's online services, specifically Windows 10 Mobile's Store if you consider it Windows Phone, outlived Xenoblade X's online.

  5. Random thoughts: You know what would be nice? An accurate #WindowsPhone launcher that could use the color schemes from #MaterialYou. Bonus points if you recreated Windows Phone 7's start screen. Additional bonus points if you could switch between 7.x to 7.8 and 8.x to 10 layouts.

    There. I said it.

  6. #NOTICE #HELPNEEDED: I'm looking for the Windows Phone 7.8 SDK Update and Windows 10 Mobile build 10240 emulators for the past weeks or so. It has been tiring and I couldn't find it in my capacity.

    So I need your help. If you have a copy, please slide into my DMs. Thanks.

  7. F-Droid but for Windows 10 Mobile would be cool if it doesn't already exist since it supports sideloading apps officially. Don't know what to call it.

  8. The firmware version for #Windows10Mobile Lumias could've been called Lumia Emerald, but instead it was just called "Lumia Windows 10".

  9. In my #dream or when I was waking up, I figured out a formula to allow tiles to scale to the size of the tilesGrid control to allow the window to be resized and for tiles to adjust automatically if you want. It's not perfect, but it's fun to play around with and is in "start.config". It's inspired by a picture of Windows 10 Mobile running full-screen on a #laptop that I saw a few years ago on #Reddit, I think in r/WindowsPhone.

  10. I've managed to implement tile wallpapers like on #WindowsPhone 8.1. I'm not sure why the icons are blurry now, but it's just related to a #postmarketOS Edge update I think, because even code from the old icons-on-tiles branch exhibits this issue now, too. Anyway, there's also an option (in the code, for now) to use ordinary behind-tile wallpapers like most UIs (and #Windows10Mobile, but it's not extending into the All Apps list because I don't like that).

  11. #Android is by far the worst-designed mobile OS. At least #Windows10Mobile had some redeeming qualities kept from #WindowsPhone (the best-designed OS) like #LiveTiles, and even my feature phone OS did just fine getting me text messages, calls, voicemails, and remaining minutes/texts. But who decided that it would be a good idea to put a color tint on backgrounds, even when they're black and running on an (AM)OLED display?!

  12. Fun fact: #WindowsPhone outlived the #WiiU if you consider late 2016 to be the end of its life, which is when the last Wii U's were made last I knew (#Windows10Mobile doesn't count).

  13. N and M except it's #Windows10Mobile and myself, give or take a few things for it to make sense.

    "Back to the name '#WindowsPhone'."
