@KayOhtie I also use #Niagara and the tech reviewer involved in this likes it too, so I wasn't surprised to see it. 😇 But I wouldn't say Niagara is inspired by #BlackBerry10.

BB10 had tiles with open applications on the home screen, a basic app grid on the right and to the left was the BlackBerry Hub which sprinkled your notifications into your e-mail inbox so to speak. There was an Android version of this on the Priv, Key 2 etc.

The screen shown on the product photos of the »Communicator« reminds me of the lock screen notifications of BB10.

@JessTheUnstill One of the big fuckups for BlackBerry was just the delays in getting BlackBerry 10, plus the Z10 and Q10, to market.

I got to use BB10 for a couple of months, and it was nice. It was built on QNX, with a modern swipe/gesture based UI built with Qt.

Arguably a better OS than the iOS and Android releases at that same time.

There was a feature called the Hub, which wax a unified inbox for your email messages, social posts, and text messages. Plus a modern app store, and separate personal/work profiles built into the OS.

There was a version without a physical keyboard (Z10) and with (Q10).

The problem is they didn't start working on it until 2010, and BB10 wasn't released until 2013.

For about two years before BB10 came out, BlackBerry didn't release any new phones.

Had BB10 come out earlier, it *might* have saved the company.

Every time I use email & calendar on an #Android I miss #BB10 :(
And #BlackBerry10 is over 10 years old now.

I deleted a lot of old git repositories today—mostly #BlackBerry10 app projects 🥲

Very sad moment but at the same time: no need to store all of that by now completely useless data 🫢

Can't believe the trick to get #Blackberry #Blackberry10 to work with either #Fastmail or Nextcloud both #CardDAV and #CalDAV was to append "dav/" to make the url "hxxps://caldav.fastmail.com/dav/" — nothing else was helping, and for CalDAV no help article suggests to try that

I try to provide unique content. While I cannot say anything for certain, it seems unlikely that you will find another screenshot of a phone running /e/ OS receiving a KDE Connect notification that it has pinged and received 21 photos from a BlackBerry Classic running BlackBerry 10.

This was part of my project to transfer about 200 photos from my BlackBerry Classic to my computer (running Manjaro Linux). Step one was using KDE Connect to move the photos from my BlackBerry to my phone. Step two was using Syncthing to sync the folder on my phone with my computer. (I did not want to install KDE Connect on my computer because of the dependencies.) The mission was exhausting, but ultimately successful.
