@vurpo @baalroga I'm not sure the ex-cop bit was even entirely the problem, some people would probably always have been put off by it but I suspect in-and-of-itself most people wouldn't have cared much.
The issue came that their ‘maker background’ wasn't ‘weather stations are cool’ or such, it was ‘well my last job, as a cop, was to make wildly unethical and possibly actually illegal devices and rpi was handy for that’ …and like, rpi thought this was somehow good.
@vurpo
I'll add up to that a little bit. Lately wanted to by am second-hand RPi to not support them directly and because of the ecosystem.
Seems that each time I'm looking around the prices are higher than retail and I'm each time shelving a potential project, as I don't want to solve this moral triangle.
@flesh @gnome @kde @elementary @GTK @SUSE @vala_lang @OpenSourceUpdates absolutely this
And its best if the project isnt owned by a cishet techbro
@OpenSourceUpdates real support is not making differences. Real support is not seeing with different eyes.
Highlithing that you note the person in front of you is non-binary is a form of non supporting, non respect, since you are actually making a difference in your behavior.
