@lunarogue They really did double down with that interview. I'm disgusted.

The idea that public surveillance is a way of "catching people who were doing really, really bad stuff" or "getting drugs out of schools" is complete BS. This just posits that everyone in a public space is a potential criminal, or that the war on drugs is a measure to protect children.

The same authoritarian nonsense we have to fight back against every day.

@korreckj328@fosstodon.org they did look good. They should post more meat and less copaganda.

@korreckj328@fosstodon.org I saw a joke post earlier about how they were continuing the drama by arguing about CWs, and I really didn't expect that to be the truth.

They really think we're upset because they didn't CW sausages?

Sure, I CW meat, because I have vegan followers and I respect people's desire not to see meat, but that's absolutely not a rule anyone enforces.

And nobody is organizing on Discord to hate on RPi. We're truly mad that they're embracing surveillance tech.

Just realized I can get a Concealed Pistol License in Washington State without even owning a gun.

I think I'm gonna do it just because it would be extremely funny to have the license despite never owning or even firing a handgun ever in my entire life.

I absolutely didn't have "Official #raspberrypi Mastodon account has a public meltdown" on my BINGO sheet.

Good thing there are a ton of SBC's out there to play with made by companies that have the good sense not to intentionally insult their own customer community.

@Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social @esther@strangeobject.space This is an incredibly disappointing response coming from you guys. This was well articulated criticism of your post, and you're just being a jerk.

Did you do any due diligence at all about your who your audience is here before you joined the Fediverse?

@Datendealerin lmao, thank you for introducing me to this.

@nova Depending on the regulations, surely better than unregulated capitalism, which is pretty terrible in practice from what I've seen so far. Still, I'd prefer a better core economic philosophy for society to follow than capitalism.

@nova @paris @quatschlau @giuliano_b @lafp this was very fun, and I look forward to the next one. Thanks, Paris, for organizing this!

I am very full of hot pot, and I have no regrets.
