@RadicalAnthro All of them welcome at Raspberry Pi.
The whole #RaspberrySpy / #SpyCop saga just over a couple of years ago. This gives a fairly good roundup: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisstokelwalker/raspberry-pi-hired-ex-cop-mastodon-controversy
The funny thing was they blamed the backlash on an army of militant vegans, because I asked them very nicely a couple of weeks before to CW their picture of pigs in blankets, which they refused and doubled down on, causing a minor uproar, which then intensified once they hired the ex-cop...
Dammit, I should really have thought to archive their #PigsInBlanketsGate post too at the time π

@nixCraft So they will keep hiring surveillance cops and insulting their customers?
@zenheathen Check the replies in this thread, or try the #RaspberrySpy hashtag. There's definitely a few links in there.
This is what could get you hired as "Maker in Residence" at #RaspberryPi:
Reminder that #RaspberryPi boasted about hiring a surveillance cop, then insulted their customers for raising ethical concerns: https://petapixel.com/2022/12/09/raspberry-pi-under-fire-by-creators-who-are-upset-it-hired-a-former-cop/
