I remember the RaspberriPi fiasco on fedi. Their response was... bewildering and sad.
Do you remember for sure if the cop was involved with mass/public surveillance? Their copy never specified. I kinda assumed that he focused on surveilling individuals as a part of criminal investigations, while many others jumped to the conclusion that he was involved with mass/public surveillance.
Of course, RPi's response didn't help thing in the least.
P.S. Are dSLRs (non-mirrorless cameras) dead? I haven't been watching the digital camera space, and honestly haven't opened up my camera bag in years.
I'd be sad if the world were mirrorless, though. They certainly have advantages, but I adore an optical viewfinder.
kevin ⁂ (he/him)@rl_dane @hyde I was honestly not aware of the RPi drama at all. But I like that there’s alternatives, and I’m always happy to try different things :D
There are still DSLRs, but I think it’s more of a high end thing? I’ve stopped using DSLRs as my main cameras a decade ago. I like to shoot analog DSLRs and I like the older models like Canon EOS 5D Mk3 or Mk4.
I'm not dead set against digital viewfinders if they're done well. They'd have to be pretty high resolution to be equivalent, and have the optics set up such that it feels like you're looking at a large projection far away.
I just wouldn't want to chiefly use a rangefinder (accuracy issues) or a screen (eye strain issues).
Then again, I don't think I've actually peered into a digital viewfinder made in the last decade and a half, so they might all be that good already and I'm kvetching over nothing, as I am wont to do. 😄
