Friendly reminder that "Raspberry Pi Cop Day" is just around on the corner (December 8th).

As is traditional, I will be preparing for Rasperry Pi Cop Day by not buying Raspberry Pi products ever again.

How do you celebrate?

@ansuz if i had the money i would be keen to celebrate by buying an SBC from some other company (i've been eyeballing those risc-v ones by milk-v)

@ansuz

it's weird how people have stopped giving any fucks about that. there's more Raspberry Pi shit in everything than ever before now. it really bothers me.

[ansuz@social.cryptography.dog]

@burnitdown my most charitable interpretation is that at least some of them are using "raspberry pi" as a stand-in for "small computer"

Still, I've seen people boosting their blog posts and stuff like that, and I guess I just hope they never heard about it.

@ansuz

there are countless youtube videos where, yes, they are definitely talking about bespoke Raspberry Pi and not some similar product. it's very disappointing. i assume a lot of people are unaware but there are other tells that it's not even a concern.

I would love to see an org claim to be apolitical and then donate to anti-fascist causes at least once in my lifetime

@ansuz I wish!

On the upside, this never ever being the case makes it easier to identify Nazi sympathizers who are too much of a coward to admit they are.
