#windowsphone

1 Beitrag1 Beteiligte*r0 Beiträge heute

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:

  • REFUSE TO RELEASE ON #iOS UNTIL THE TERMS ARE CHANGED!

As with every #Platform, #Software makes #OperatingSystems and the #OperatingSystem makes #Hardware.

  • This worked with #WindowsPhone and #UWP: everyone refused to build #Apps for it and thus it died pretty quickly.

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!

  • Also you could just refuse to offer the sales on Apple's platform and add any "#Premium Features" post-launch with your own payment & licensing infrastructure. If you're big enough or small enough you may get away with it. #NotLegalAdvice

Otherwise band together with other #developers and coordinate.

And if you allow Apple to exploit you harder than #Valve, then you normalize that shit!

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.
