        πŸ˜„ Perhaps we could organize a mini-meet in the Baron of Beef (the pub where Chris Curry and Clive Sinclair had their famous ding-dong)?

          Ha yes, I pointed it out to my son last weekend. We'd watched Micro Men previously so he knew who they were πŸ˜‰

            @DansLeRuSH Hi Frank, I know what you mean about being pissed off. I was very cross at the time, but I guess I understand that whole of the rest of the Ubuntu product line was being held up by UT and they needed to move on.
            uNav is great for Japan mapping data, much better than Google. I remember I took Maps.me with me last time, but I'll take uNav next time.

              How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

                    Hello, I'm Jerry. Don't have technical knowledge, just trying to use technology. Most of all leave the interference of the big companies. I have been using Ubuntu 18.04 for a few months and now will use touch when my Nexus 5 arrives. It feels so good to be free.

                            Hello World !

                            I'm "incyi", emb. software developer for around 8 years now. Mainly write in C for cortex-m microcontrollers.

                            Looking forward to work on some open-source projects. I just pre-ordered the PinePhone UBports edition.

                                  Hello all together,
                                  I'm on Linux since the end of '90's. I'm not a programmer or software coder. I'm building websites and manage some web and mailserver's. Sometimes I make graphics if I need them for apps or websites or Linux TV receivers.
                                  I'm using iOS since 2008 as my mobile OS. I never used android devices for personally/daily usage but I've a testing devices with lineage. I was always looking for Linux Projects on Smartphones and followed the development.
                                  Now I cant wait no more and decided to get a device. After all BH versions of pinephone was gone, last week was a good one with new UBports version and I orders one of them.
                                  To get some "practice" I got an old Nexus5. Last Day's I'm trying to get familiar withe the file system structure and looking for the theming possibilities. By the way I tested some Anbox and Libertine options

                                  So, thx for your work. Have a nice time

                                        Longtime Debian desktop user & in pursuit of convergence and eliminating monopolies of β€˜choice’ by supporting efforts that challenge these institutions. I am not a developer, but a dreamer, perhaps a seer and just excited to be part of a community that has brought such a technology to market.

                                          HelloWorld,
                                          my first distribution was Slackware on the middle of '90's. I'm a Java/Kotlin software programmer. this year I try to learn Rust, and when i saw it is possible to create native app with rust or Golang, I bought a nexus5 to install ubports \o/

                                          I am interested in exploitation of OSM data/ geolocation app, dev tools, and many more things.

                                          my first helloWorld app will be an assistant (a contextual touchBar ) of my laptop.

                                          MacKristof.
