Awesome. Truly spectacular.
Generative AI is so energy intensive ($$$), that Google is requiring users subscribe to Gemini.
Google is entirely dependent on advertising sales. Ad revenue subsidizes literally everything else, from Android development to whichever 8-12 products and services they launch and subsequently cancel each year.
Now, Google wants to remove web results and just use generative AI instead of search as it’s default user interface.
So, like I said: Awesome.
Exactly. There’s no way that could ever go tits up.
Depends. Are either of those companies bootstrapping a for-profit startup and trying to dupe people into contributing free labor prior to their inevitable rug pull/switcheroo?
After unceremoniously shitting all over the Netflix Marvel shows, Disney+ is doing an about-face and literally rebooting some of them WITH the original creators i.e. Punisher Season 3, it’s happening.
There are GreaseMonkey/ViolentMonkey scripts that work fine as well.
I still use Reddit infrequently, and delete what few comments I leave after a couple days using those scripts.
Containers, or 2nd browser, like Waterfox.
The general inability to manually order Podcasts and playlists is the only real serious drawback to the app.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s fantastic. I’m not a FOSS purist, and it’s still my primary podcast app. Just hoping one day to get that feature.
I said not many things, but yes, I’m sure his Crohn’s tops the list.
Jeff Geerling has been Raspberry Pi’s number one corporate defender going on a while now. This video, which is extremely tepid in any “criticism”, is no exception.
I don’t dislike the guy, and I don’t believe he’s doing it maliciously. He just seems like overly nice guy who wants to maintain a certain public persona.
If I had to guess, I’d say not many things give him more anxiety then when someone he knows, or has met, doesn’t like him, or is upset with him. But in this case, it’s a corporation.
But in his defense, for him and the way he’s historically treated this company, this video is one or two steps below scorched earth. So… I guess that’s an improvement?
I’ve bought, owned, and used, Pi’s since the original. The Raspberry Pi 5 is the first version that I will not purchase and deploy, so fuck off with your bullshit and go back to shilling for YouTube advertisers, or whatever other corporate interest tickles your fancy, just take it somewhere else.
Completely abandoned their original hobbyist customer base and sent all their inventory to B2B sales channels and scalpers for several years.
And now that they’re finally providing B2C vendors with stock, they’ve jacked up the prices by 100% to 300%.
Don’t forget the Raspberry Pi foundation was supposed to be a nonprofit and the only reason they’re the premier SBC is the community. Other boards have better specs, at a better price, with better features. The community support, the hobbyists, are the primary reason why they are what they are.
That’s just one bad action, but their had been plenty others recently. Some other comments here have provided information you should read, such as hiring police officers who specialized in using Pi’s for surveillance…
The Pi foundation showed their true colors. Don’t continue to support them.
Standard IPv4 NAT or CGNAT?
Are you using their modem AND router? Or just their modem? If it’s a modem router combo, can you place it in bridge/passthrough mode?
Even if it’s CGNAT and no bridge mode, their are solutions available.
Are you looking to host private services like NextCloud? Or public services like a website?
They’re the reason Shinzo Abe got merked with a homemade volcano science project.
… I’m not joking.
Big ups to Smart Audiobook Player, definitely worth the $2 to upgrade as well. Not required, and you get a 30 day trial, but well worth it.
Voice is a decent FOSS audiobook player, you can find it in the FOSS repo managers (Droidify, Neo-Store, etc.)
I’m sure the business customers will be happy for the options.
Unfortunately for the retail consumers that actually built their business, it won’t matter at all.
The foundation is a nonprofit Nvidia now. Happy to sell almost entirely in B2B bulk transactions, and let scalpers hoard all consumer/retail stock to gouge consumers with 200%+ markup.
Fuck the Pi Foundation.
I wouldn’t have even thought to consider the possibility that my local meth cook would have a better photo printer then the local pharamcy, but i’ll stop by later and ask him. Well, as long as he’s taken down the tinfoil from the windows. If the foils up, then it’s a pretty safe bet he’s been up for at least 3 days straight.
Thanks for the tip!
It’s an Android app, not FOSS AFAIK, but it’s still a pretty solid client with a fairly robust feature set. The settings icon on the thread browser page has an option like “create multi-community”.
I rarely use Reddit anymore. One feature that Lemmy is missing is standarized multi-sub/community groupings.
Only one client I’ve found has implemented it, so I THINK it’s client side, but regardless, I wish it was standard across all clients to create community groups instead of having to go to each individual community, or subscribed/local/all.
I don’t think they’re making a moral argument, but pointing out the reality of the situation as it stands.
This is a problem that can only be fixed through legislation and aggressive enforcement backed by large punitive actions.
Until that happens, it’s better to acknowledge and understand the reality of the situation, than to believe that a morally righteous condemnation will somehow unmake that reality.
It sucks. I agree with your philosophical stance, except for the payment for personal data, as I’d prefer a complete opt-out. However, none of that changes where we’re at right now.
