Bearcat (or Uniden Bearcat) is also a popular brand name of radio scanner (which these days is made in Viet Nam, at least mine is - I wonder if that is why Uniden picked the name?)

Useful to listen to what is happening with ships and boats (both fishing boats and large vessels) if you live near the sea on marine VHF/UHF band, as well as aircrafts and some other services (although not the Emergency Services in many countries, as they have moved towards digital and encrypted transmissions)

Oh no! This is the game I always wanted to make or play! I hope they make it through alright.


As promised there is now a guide along with templates (and even banners!) for developers to make their own project updates to upload to the Pine64 community blog.

The guide will continue to get updated when possible.

That's amazing! This was certainly not on my bingo card.

The Homebrew community for the Saturn is a small but quite dedicated group of people. I can only imagine what good things may come from this.

Lee-noos is the original native version.
Lai-noos is the basterdized americanized version.

I respect the original version, just like respectful Americans respect terms like Baja desert (Baha), or bourgeoisie.

I have a rhetorical question. If you were to join an activity group on a Sunday (something like chess or knitting club--it doesn't matter), what hours would be most convenient to you? Would six, seven, or eight pm work for you, or would you find these too late on the evening before a work day?

Asking for a friend... XD

in reply to Muse

@Rod Mesa I also was reading KJV and British fiction as a kid. I read even more British fiction when I was working on my degree in English! I started out using British spellings, then realised I was posturing. Many of the people in my classes were posturing. We were all trying to look like the ones with taste, culture, and status. We were buying into hierarchy--what the US was trying to escape by dumping a British king.

So, I started to weed out my pretentions. Then I moved to Australia. LOL! Now I am expected to write using British English. Mind you Australians are confused about who they are and how they should use their language. Here we have a British way of writing things, a US way of writing things because our newspapers leaned into that, and an Australian way enshrined in government publication manuals. So long as I am working in publishing I have to know all three. However, whatever I choose I am wrong, because I am a stupid American! Bigotry is as bad as posturing.

in reply to Muse

Yeah, grade school disabused me of a lot of Britishsims. Junior high, which is now called Middle School, (talk about pretentious,) weeded out any remaining usage while exposing me to various regional dialects which are far more colorful than standard American English.

...and, you already lost me.

I don't know why people like to overcomplicate this. ssh/sftp gets the job done securely, or if you don't need the encryption overhead, standard ftp or smb also get the job done. Total Commander on Android supports all of these file transfer methods. Unless you manage to develop a protocol that smashes poor WLAN transfer speeds, we don't really need to clog our systems with more new competing standards.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

Leica has had a rough weekend on Threads after an attempt to romanticize their gear more than the community could handle.

It's pretty wild, and the story is still developing.

August community update

Hello everyone, welcome back to another community update! In this update we announce a new community manager, updates to the PineTab2 and PineNote, FreeBSD on the PinePhone Pro, a guide on upstreaming PinePhone Pro patches and a small bit for you Pinecil users.

It's finally finished, hope you all enjoy 😄 .

Good to see a new update and moves to more community editions. I always wished that Pine actually charged about $40 more per PinePhone/Pro/Note, but just put that extra money towards paying for software support for the most important things the community wasn't likely to pick up. The PPP could have been a huge success with some strategic development support. I still would love to see a decent midrange phone style device with mainline support for all the main hardware and power management.

Thank you for your work! A few suggestions:

Cheers!

By fall I hope to have images generated for the next release of pmos.

My friends at @nextcloud have launched a Digital Sovereignty Index. While not perfect, it gives a fascinating insight into which countries self-host and thus control their digital destiny.

in reply to jzakotnik

I am also surprised by the definition of Dig Sovereignty: "Digital Sovereignty refers to a country's ability to control and govern its own digital infrastructure and data.". If you live in an authoritarian regime (and as we see any democracy can eventually become one), the country can very well control the digital infrastructure, but for the institutions and people within the country it is the opposite of sovereignty. This is a much better definition: cio.bund.de/Webs/CIO/DE/digita…
