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 @zzt yep that’s why I’ve switched any new SBC purchases to OrangePi, but I’ve still got plenty of RPi’s I use hanging around

@jpm orangepi sells to the Russian military, are those okay with you?

@CounterPillow distributors gonna distribute, like the UniFi distributors selling stuff to Russian military, or RasPi selling to fascist western police agencies, or… whatever, there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism.

@jpm Yeah no it wasn't distributors in that case.
