Ubuntu MATE is on the lookout for a new maintainer, running Sonic Unleashed

My #pinetime suddenly switched from the normal mode (dark mode) to light mode or snow/arctic mode. Did I accidentally change something or is this a bug? How do I switch it back? Firmware: Infinitime 1.15.0
Wusste gar nicht, dass es ne open source Smartwatch gibt. Und günstig ist die auch noch. Schick. Und nun wurde ein neues Modell angekündigt.

>PINE64 has built a reputation for delivering open source hardware to people who actually care about what runs on their devices. From single-board computers like the ROCKPro64 and the RISC-V powered STAR64 to Linux smartphones like the PinePhone, the company has been pretty consistent. > >One of their offerings is the PineTime, which is a compact, inexpensive open source smartwatch that has been around since 2019. It started as a community side project, inspired partly by the simplicity of the old Pebble, and is priced at around $26.99

Introduction to the PineTime Pro

PINE64

A couple of years ago I forgot to take off my #PineTime smart watch when bouldering. Smashed it hard against one of he holds and cracked the screen. It's still working fine, but it's a little annoying.

Figured that I'd get a new one once this one finally gives up.

Now there's a #PineTimePro in the works and as soon as that's out it's very likely I'll upgrade. Or maybe stick to the simplicity of the OG. Or go back to #BangleJS. Who knows... The new watch from #Pine64 seems interesting at least.
