The sensible thing to do:
“Okay, we screwed up yesterday, sorry.”

The corporate thing to do:
[ignore everything on the matter, continue posting marketing stuff]

The batshit thing to do:
Talking to Buzzfeed about how “this is all an organized effort by a woke crowd with bad intentions because we didn’t put a content warning on a food picture two days ago”

For some reason we’re in the timeline where @Raspberry_Pi decided to do the latter.

Raspberry Pi Hired An Ex-Cop And People Are Pissed

“I think what we’re looking at is a dogpile that’s being organized somewhere,” a Raspberry Pi cofounder told BuzzFeed News.

@scy @ I still truly don't care that

1) @Raspberry_Pi hired a surveillance officer to work at HQ, in fact if anything I'm glad they did

2) that people were upset by this move, they can all just go outside for a walk and calm the hell down.

It boggles my mind we are still talking about this at all.

@utahcon @scy @Raspberry_Pi the completely tone deaf responses from the company should be a clue
@rootless @scy @Raspberry_Pi yeah, I don't see it that way. Not like they traded a WNBA player who willing broke international laws for a merchant of death. Nope, they hired a guy. Get over it.
