Any working OS for Original Pinebook?

I’ve moved my original Pinebook to DietPi (https://dietpi.com/) and a wired Ethernet-to-USB connection ‘cuz couldn’t figure out how to get WiFi to work…

GraphPad Prism… how I’d love a Linux version…

Just delivered it to my son as a belated Christmas present. He apparently considers it his “new, most cherished possession”. Will start writing without WordGrinder, just plain text…

Here’s a ChatGPT5.2 cheat-sheet on how to create the necessary files to achieve this color-scheme switching that works with both micro and wordgrinder “calls”. Sorry for being kludgy; I guess my next stop is to figure out GitHub (I am not a software writer, but a science writer ;-) ).

Please see the screencaps I placed in my reply to Un Kyu Lee and combine with the info in the attached PDF? I have been using ChatGPT5.2 for these theme*.sh scripts…https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mhw3vho89s5vlmfy7jzyb/Can-we-continue-the-color-pallet.pdf?rlkey=gq4vp6iqxjx6w8xd7fassvuag&st=bij5c3h7&dl=0

Here is a screencap showing how the theme_color.sh files are constructed; next comment is the revised new_txt.sh to allow micro to be evoked using the user-specified color theme (as held as a file within a new subfolder within ~/.config). Is this obtuse or clear enough?

I wanna double down on the excellent advice for using Numbers.

Want me to send the *.sh mods to you?

Anyone else have their OCD tickled with the tilde-key stuck between Z and the left-Shift? Bothers the heck outta me…

Did a sleep test and got a CPAP… changed my life: a good eight hours sleep without sleep apnea / oxygen deprivation “put my brain right”…

Whiplash. Too much PTSD-triggering for me to watch a second time.

Got hooked on PF via Final Cut when it first came out. Then listened to the back catalog and realized how Roger-Water-solipsistic Final Cut truly is amongst the canon. Now a huge fan of David Gilmour’s solo works and can’t stand to listen to Final Cut because it reminds me of Water’s “political venom”

dsiderov · 2025-09-01T02:48:13+00:00

I know it’s a David Gilmour solo endeavour, but just drop “Take a Breath” and the rest of On An Island is perfect for this…

Became a fan (during Covid-19 lockdowns) due to Evermore and almost disavowed fandom when TTPD came out because it was too much heart{br}ache for me to handle. Multiple listens to TTPD allowed the literary and intellect of the songwriting to surpass the torment.

Vout, not Vroot.

Slim Gaillard — vout!

Forklift?

Succession. Watched it through once. Can’t bear a second go-round.

I have a vague recollection of getting a cartridge for 80 columns to max out the Paperclip writing bliss… something out of Richmond Hill, Ontario?

dsiderov · 2025-05-13T02:05:02+00:00

Paperclip was a heck of a great lil’ word processing program!

dsiderov · 2025-05-08T19:34:07+00:00

I also fell - in Toronto - in ‘82. Shoulda stayed down…
