things are going just great for raspberry pi:

- the only distro that ships the drivers for my display is raspberry pi os so fuck it, terrible it is
- I dd it to the microsd card
- I can’t kvm to the pi4 cause nothing uses microhdmi so I don’t have an adapter
- there’s no way to configure networking and SSH without imager cause all methods were removed in favor of fucking Canonicial cloud-init of all things, which they haven’t actually implemented
- my nixpkgs has a broken rpi imager

holy fucking shit maybe it should go without saying that I’m not asking for help and I’m especially not asking for help based on something you got from fucking ChatGPT

raspberry pi community are you ok?

@zzt @jpm They hired a UK spy cop a year or two ago and a lot of people left the community over it. Mostly the rPi community is just techno fascists and other morons now.

@neoluddite @jpm buying this rpi was like pulling fucking teeth for me because of that, it’s an absolute last resort purchase I still regret

unfortunately, these fuckers have done the techfash thing and made themselves a broken ecosystem with no way out

not that most of their shit community will notice, they just want a digital picture frame that runs openclaw or whatever horseshit some rpi influencer told them they should build

Man, rpi fell off. Minecraft pocket edition with scratch programming was cool when I was in primary
