Late reply, sorry. I don't read substack, but just wanted to say that I was convinced that HP killed #webOS on behalf of Microsoft's #WindowsPhone. What a success that was.

Here's something completely cursed:
Bash running on Windows Phone (W10M, Nokia Lumia 650, interop unlocked)
I'd run screenfetch/neofetch but they have several issues preventing them from running here... still, check out the env vars for some system info (especially PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER)!
My #windowsphone 8 lockscreen in 2012 looked something like this photo I found. New nice Bing wallpaper every day, next calendar event over the full with of the screen (or just nothing), icons if there were missed calls, unread sms, unread email.
In 2025 I still cannot achieve this on #iOS . The calendar widget shows "No events" text instead of hiding, no way to add counters for missed calls or unread sms.
The iOS response to everything seems to be "here is a ton of notifications all at once, have fun".
I hate notifications, I do not allow alert notifications for apps, just badges for a few important apps so the Windows Phone approach was just ideal for me.
@BernieDoesIt @Catvalente there is:
As with every #Platform, #Software makes #OperatingSystems and the #OperatingSystem makes #Hardware.
And if you want to say that's not an option, take a look at #AltStore which automates all the necessary work to perpetually #sideload any #App on iOS in a noob-friendly way.
Remember: "Everyone else does it" never was and never will be a valid excuse for any shit system!
Otherwise band together with other #developers and coordinate.
And if you allow Apple to exploit you harder than #Valve, then you normalize that shit!
50 years of Microsoft!
What’s the most iconic Microsoft product in your book — Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Phone, Office… or something else?
Hi Fedi!
I've got a #Lumia 435 running #WindowsPhone 8.1 and I've got a question
Can I sideload apps to it (Install via USB or microSD)? Or maybe do some more fun stuff with it?
Lieblings-Tipps 2024: Wer früher mal ein #WindowsPhone hatte, kann die praktische Benutzeroberfläche auch auf seinem Android-Smartphone einrichten. So einfach funktioniert's:

You know, I wonder... if you like Metro UI/Metro Design/Windows Phone stuff a lot, are you also trans? I ask because I tend to read more stuff about this from trans posters and wondered if it was my imagination or not.
Aufgenommen im September 2019 mit meinem Lumia 950 XL, das beste Smartphone, das ich je hatte und das ich heute noch vermisse. Die Kamera war unschlagbar. Anfang 2021 trennten sich leider unsere Wege, weil der Akku schlapp machte.
Drag-to-refresh is bad design because it resembles pulling a gambling machine lever on purpose. Most Windows Phone apps correctly only used a refresh button and I will never have any of my stuff use drag-to-refresh.
heise+ | Wie man Desktop-Windows auf Lumia-Handys installiert
Es gibt kein Update für Lumia-Handys und die App-Unterstützung fehlt. Mit dem "Lumia WOA Project" installiert man die ARM-Version von Desktop-Windows aufs Gerät
I just want real Live Tiles on my phone again.
is there an actively maintained Mastodon client for #WindowsPhone ?
