Open Source PalmOS, you cowards
BeyondMachines 
@catsalad Is there a use case for PalmOS today?
David JONES@beyondmachines1 @catsalad does the kindle run a version of it?
R. L. Dane 
@drj @beyondmachines1 @catsalad
The kindle is either a heavily modified Android or a custom Linux system. I can't remember which.
I believe it's Android.
The Last Psion | Alex@RL_Dane @drj @beyondmachines1 @catsalad It's custom Linux. Good in some ways, not so good in others.
@beyondmachines1 @catsalad Call me biased, but I think there's a place for offline-first devices with batteries that last for weeks.

They used to be called Sony Ericsson. This little dude lasted 13 days without charging while we were on vacation.
By the time i had to charge it I had forgotten where I put the charger.
Thom, exceedingly pure@catsalad Palm OS is love, Palm OS is life.
I should stop collecting Palm OS devices. Twenty is surely enough.
Kancept@thomholwerda @catsalad I used to collect a lot like BeOS gear, WebOS, OS/2 as they were huge parts of my tech upbringing. I ran out of room and had to focus, so sold it all off. Heck, there was an OSNews story about my BeOS collection. 😉
@Kancept Yeah I vaguely remember a story like that! Luckily Palm OS devices don't take up much space. 
@thomholwerda then your collection needs to grow, cuz boy howdy there were a ton!
neko@catsalad i crave modern PDAs
You know there's a graffiti keyboard for Android?

Nephiel@k0stk @RL_Dane @jaiden @catsalad The original Graffiti is still available in the Google Play Store, I use it as the default keyboard on all my Android devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.access_company.graffiti_pro
Rozzychan@RL_Dane @nephiel @k0stk @jaiden @[email protected]
Its terms allow advertising and third party something, but it has a special clause that some parts are GNU public license and modification is okay. Worth taking a chance I think.
@Rozzychan @RL_Dane @k0stk @jaiden I run it with network permission blocked. It's not perfect, up/down arrow strokes don't work and it has some trouble with accents, but still lets me type faster and without looking most of the time.
@Rozzychan @nephiel @k0stk @jaiden
If you have the ability to block network permissions on your android build, then I'd try it, otherwise not.
And I guess BeOS/Garnet, while they're at it.
Neil E. Hodges
Marty FoutsOh nice! I don't think I ever tried that. I do recall messing around with Garnet in an emulator/simulator at some point.
Whatever happened to it? I vaguely remember the traditional PalmOS IP being bought by "ACCESS" or something like that?
Ah, yes. I remember that era of Palm. Lots and lots of very questionable management decisions.
The 500 Hats of LambdaCalculus@catsalad Been saying this for years!!
@@catsalad graffiti for the palm OS occupies the same space in my brain as the white dot easter egg from Adventure for the Atari 2600. I couldn't tell you what I had for dinner last night but those two things are always upfront ready to go at a moments notice.
knickishWhen you're right, you're right
Viss@catsalad i had a treo back in the day and it was a DUMPSTER FIRE

@Viss I'm probably looking back through rose tinted glasses, but I LOVED my Treo Pro 850. I had a PPC-6700 before that and the Treo just felt so sleek and professional 😅 I wanted to love the Pre when it dropped shortly after, but that battery life was just abysmal
@evan i had a 650. it was so bad and buggy and horrible i literally drove it out to the desert and destroyed it spectacularly
@Viss understandable. I had a Kindle Fire that met a similar end years ago, with the aftermath posted alongside my review. Pretty satisfying feeling until I got a call at work from some VP or SVP at Amazon (don't recall exactly) asking about it. Then I was just creeped out 😬
Latte macchiato 
@catsalad god I loved PalmOS so much
wii sports resort@catsalad it's cursed knowing palmOS is still used today, under it's current name WebOS
Nova🐧✨@technobaboo @catsalad I've mixed some stuff up I see

excited for the mastodon rise@catsalad and webOS, which was also fantastic and has been done dirty by selling it to a tv company.
JamesGecko@qkslvrwolf @catsalad The TV company open sourced it!

Wyatt (🏳️⚧️♀?)@catsalad and OS/2 while you are at it
Bakunin Boys@catsalad why not second palm OS?
