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

«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

Take for example these examples of a #PinebookPro (rk3399 / v4l2 stateless) playing 4k content or the #RaspberryPi 4b (v4l2 stateful / m2m) playing 1080p@60fps (the limit of the hardware decoder) on a 2560x1440 screen. My videos probably don't fully capture the effect, but especially in the later case the difference is pretty visible). This is using the gtk video player demo with some extra patches and #gstreamer.

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.

Bookworm — the new version of Raspberry Pi OS - Raspberry Pi

It's an odd-numbered year, so there is a new major Debian release, and we are now releasing the corresponding version of Raspberry Pi OS.

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.

The Computers that Made Britain

The home computer boom of the 1980s brought with it now-iconic machines such as the ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, and Commodore 64. Those machines would inspire a generation.

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

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

Okay, I really wanted this to die, but @lizupton - comms officer of Raspberry Pi Ltd - is now claiming that the entire #raspberrypi social media drama was actually because her company posted a picture of pigs-in-blankets, and not because they hired an ex-surveillance cop and then acted like dickheads when asked about it. 😱

The Computer Company Raspberry Pi Hired An Ex-Cop And People Are Pissed

“I think what we’re looking at is a dogpile that’s being organized somewhere,” a Raspberry Pi cofounder told BuzzFeed News.

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:

- 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 💾

We came to more or less this conclusion as well, and spent yesterday spinning up a single user instance for @Raspberry_Pi. With the added benefit that we ended up running it on a #RaspberryPi. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/an-escape-pod-was-jettisoned-during-the-fighting/

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

Máte někdo zkušenosti?
