Get On The BlowerDec 9, 2022

In an unexpected turn, we've found ourselves blocking the official #RaspberryPi instance today, basically until they put an adult in charge of it.

If anyone really wants to learn how a relatively beloved and respected brand can burn a staggering amount of good will in record time, @aurynn has written up a very good case study of the event:

@geton @aurynn outstanding! Thanks for the good article.

Raspi is over now (and they're always out of stock anyways) so what's the Free and Open replacement?

@ryancoordinator @geton @aurynn It's a little bigger, but I put Linux on a second-hand very corporatey small-form-factor PC that was only $50. Works great. Not a direct replacement obviously (no GPIO for one) but good for some applications and cheap.
