UNIX co-creator Ken Thompson is… a what user? • The Register theregister.com/2023/03/17/ken…

«I have for most of my life – because I was sort of born into it – run Apple. Now recently, meaning within the last five years, I've become more and more and more depressed [...] And I've come, within the last month or two, to say: even though I've invested a zillion years in Apple, I'm throwing it away, and I'm going to Linux. To Raspbian, in particular».

UNIX co-creator Ken Thompson is a… what user now?

Elder statesman of system software makes a shocking revelation

Today we're releasing the newest version of Raspberry Pi OS, called Bookworm, like the #Debian release it's based on.

In Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, we're launching some major changes to the #RaspberryPi Desktop: the Wayland display system, PipeWire sound interface, and NetworkManager network controller bring increased responsiveness, flexibility, and security. We're also offering Firefox as a browser option alongside Chromium.

It's no secret that #RaspberryPi was inspired by the home computers of the #1980s.

We teamed up with author Tim Danton to tell the story of 19 of those computers, which inspired a generation.

'The Computers That Made Britain' deep dives into everything from the Dragon 32 and ZX81, to the Amstrad CPC 464 and #Commodore Amiga.

Some #RaspberryPi alternative SBCs to consider:
- ROCK Pi 4 (rockpi.org)
- MangoPi MQ Pro (mangopi.org)
- Odroid C4 (hardkernel.com)
- ROCK64 (pine64.com)
- Le Potato (loverpi.com)
- Banana Pi M6 (banana-pi.org)

These examples share similar form factors and/or specs to various RPi models, but their vendors offer many other options as well. What other recommendations do folks have?

The main purpose of Pine Store creation is servicing PINE64 community.

turns out there's a whole directory of SBC options, searchable by architecture, specs, form factor, header compatibility, etc. (thanks @be!)

#RaspberryPi

In an unexpected turn, we've found ourselves blocking the official #RaspberryPi instance today, basically until they put an adult in charge of it.

If anyone really wants to learn how a relatively beloved and respected brand can burn a staggering amount of good will in record time, @aurynn has written up a very good case study of the event:
eiara.nz/posts/2022/Dec/09/a-c…

Raspberry Pi is really proud of hiring "a policeman & it's going really great" who "was a surveillance officer for 15 years" and built covert surveillance equipment. RPi dismisses the very thing they're so proud of as "he built lightsabers [as toys]. Chill."). Dear reader, it must be remarked that the concern is not his rad lightsaber toys (which, to be clear, are rad). The concern is that he's got experience in surveillance equipment, and the company is proud to have hired him for it, and proudly blocking everyone who expresses the slightest concern about it instead of being even remotely willing to listen and understand why people are skeeved out, even people who aren't on the ACAB train and are gently voicing concerns with a surveillance cop potentially having the keys to their hardware/software.

This is not the behavior of a company that's concerned about privacy, security, trust, or autonomy, and I don't think this company can or should be trusted to remain federated with instances that want to be welcoming to marginalized people or anti-authoritarians.

Really hate to say it, because I've used and loved RPis for several years now, but if nothing else, please use a different SBC from now on. There are many options out there that aren't so eager to insult you for having concerns about security.

- Mamo, czy możemy mieć Commodore 64 w domu?
- Mamy Commodore 64 w domu, cichaj i podepnij dżojstik do drugiego portu, połamiemy go na Karatece.

Gry łączą pokolenia. Bawią i uczą uniwersalnie, bez względu na to, skąd jesteśmy i w co wierzymy. Jednak medium doskonałe — łączące obraz, ruch, muzykę, dźwięk, treść i interakcję — miało też swoje skromne początki. Serce rośnie za każdym razem, gdy myślę o tym, że to, co minęło, nie przepadło!

Raspberry Pi, jak i Steam Deck to przykłady urządzeń, na których jesteśmy dziś w stanie upchnąć i schować do plecaka całe biblioteki tytułów ze sprzętów naszej młodości. Dla osoby bardzo sentymentalnej (jaką jestem), prezerwacja dzieł powstałych w tamtych czasach to rzecz doprawdy wspaniała ❤️

Dajcie znać od jakiego systemu i/lub gry zaczęliście tę niekończącą się opowieść 💾

Jsem si udělal radost s #raspberrypi. Cílem je rozjet si na tom #homeassistant s nějakým smart zařízením.

Máte někdo zkušenosti?

"Smart gardening without coding - all free and open source" is an interesting and inspiring article about how to set up an automated watering system using a rain barrel to collect #RainWater, a #RaspberryPi Zero W, #FOSS software from nymea.io and some hardware sensors and modules: hackster.io/michael_zanetti/sm…
