#raspberrypifoundation — Public Fediverse posts

When I talk to people about web quality, they always mention measures based on code #readability and #maintainability. Rarely or never do they mention #performance, #accessibility, or #userExperience.

Performance _is_ accessibility. I think there is so much opportunity for me and my colleagues to raise the bar at the #RaspberryPiFoundation to improve access to kids and educators around the world.

Mike Hall at #SotB26.

@peter I watched it in real time and that’s not what happened. I’m still furious that #RaspberryPiFoundation used their might to bully someone who asked carefully whether they really considered “Our cop will be watching you, so don’t do anything bad” a good way to introduce the new hire, especially in the culture they were in.
And then Raspi doubled down multiple times, suggested that the person asking started a hate campaign and never apologized.
The problem with Trump is not the red hat.

OS Adventure - Target #OpenMind_OM1 with USB Speaker/Mic

- Ubuntu 24 - no audio devices recognized, Remote with TigerVNC or MacOS both fail

- Ubuntu 25 x86 - OM1 install fails

- Pi OS Trixie - audio, Google Cloud #ASR, Remote With TigerVNC all works

OM1 in #Docker over PiOS Trixie might work, but I hate configuring and maintaining Dockered systems. Going to leave OM1 to the “artificially intelligent” developers

#RaspberryPiFoundation still has my “best supported hardware” award.

This week, Nintendo announced its plans for “Nintendo Live” after the cancellation of E3. Additionally, updates in AI development are underway. In space news, SpaceX has set a launch date for the Orbital Flight Test of Starship, while the Mars helicopter Ingenuity took its 50th flight. As always, there’s more in the Other News section.

Nintendo Live

On Tuesday, Nintendo announced that they will be hosting their own conference in Seattle called Nintendo Live this September. This comes after the cancellation of E3, and it’s the first time that the event will be held in North America. Nintendo of America President, Doug Bowser, stated that the conference will give fans an opportunity to expand their experience with Nintendo and create lasting memories with family, friends, and the wider Nintendo community. Although specific details about the conference are still scarce, fans are eagerly anticipating what Nintendo has planned for the event. For updates and more information, visit Nintendo’s website.

On Wednesday, Warner Bros. Discovery announced details on the upcoming merging of HBO Max and Discovery+ into Max. At the event they announced that the service will feature a Penguin spinoff from DC, a new spinoff of The Big Bang Theory along with new content from other franchises they own. The services will cost $9.99 a month for the tier with ads, $15.99 for the ad-free plan and $19.99 for 4K. They also said that they will also offer Discovery+ alone.

AI News

On Wednesday, Databricks released Dolly 2.0, it’s the first open source large language model. At an MIT conference, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that OpenAI doesn’t plan to release a new version of GPT in the near future.

Space News

In space news this week, SpaceX is set to embark on an exciting new mission as they prepare for the Orbital Flight Test of their Starship, scheduled for Monday. This test will mark the first time that a fully stacked Starship will take to the skies, representing a major milestone in the ongoing development of space exploration technology. The launch window is 150 minutes long, with a backup window scheduled for the following day in case of any unforeseen issues. Meanwhile, over on Mars, the Ingenuity helicopter has achieved a remarkable 50 successful flights, continuing to expand our knowledge and understanding of the red planet.

Other News

In other tech news, Android users have new updates to look forward to. Android announced App Archiving, which allows users to keep track of unused apps without losing data, and released the first beta version of Android 14. The Raspberry Pi foundation also made an announcement, unveiling a new web-based integrated development environment (IDE)* for coding enthusiasts. Meanwhile, Google has removed third-party smart displays from its lineup, and Amazon has announced an exciting new development in AI coding technology with the launch of their free AI coding assistant, aimed at undercutting Microsoft.

*An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides a comprehensive environment to computer programmers for software development.

@Raspberry_Pi @TobyRobertsPi You need to read this and figure out how you are going to regain people's trust and rebuild your #brand reputation, and that of the original charity #RaspberryPiFoundation #RaspberryPi

@jonty: Badly handling the #shitstorm after bad PR is nothing new for the #RaspberryPiFoundation. 🙈 Remember that Microsoft VSCode APT repo they introduced (as well as removed) silently? Back then they already showed that they neither understand nor care about #privacy and fueled the shitstorm that way: https://twitter.com/EbenUpton/status/1357058711873871872. 🤦‍♂️

That case even made it into the editorial of the German Raspberry Pi Geek magazine: https://www.raspberry-pi-geek.de/ausgaben/rpg/2021/08/editorial-07-08-2021/ (Granted, I'm not completely innocent of the latter. 😇)

Greetings fellow #Americans ,

It has come to our attention that the @Raspberry_Pi Foundation has been causing distress on social media and glorifying the police surveillance state. After thorough investigation, we have determined that this #organization is a threat to #NationalSecurity and must be dealt with immediately.

We have gathered evidence that suggests the #RaspberryPi Foundation is using their tiny, affordable computers to spy on innocent citizens and collect #sensitive information. They have even been known to promote their products as tools for #surveillance, which is a clear violation of privacy rights.

In light of these findings, we have decided to launch a full-scale #investigation into the Raspberry Pi Foundation. We will be #monitoring their social media accounts, conducting surveillance on their operations, and interrogating anyone associated with the organization.

We are confident that our efforts will bring the Raspberry Pi Foundation to justice and restore peace and security to our nation.

Sincerely,

The FBI :FBIverified:

P.S. Can someone please bring me a Raspberry Pi so I can see what all the fuss is about? I’ve been hearing great things about them.

@FreePietje: Yes, but there's another fact which might explain that initial naming:

#Raspbian AFAIK never (not sure about the very beginning though) offered images, just recompiled packages.

To my knowledge "Raspbian" images always came from the #RaspberryPiFoundation.

Another detail: Peter Green aka plugwash only became DD after Raspbian has become a success.

Nevertheless, the reason for the existence of Raspbian is still there: Debian still has a performance penalty on #RaspberryPi 0 + 1.

@bbbhltz: According to a comment in that file it won't help. But it helps: It only installs that repo when upgrading from #raspberrypi-sys-mods below version 20210125.

But you should also remove /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/microsoft.gpg

And there's still a big difference to all #nonfree software they so far shipped with #RaspberryPiOS: They all came from the #RaspberryPiFoundation's #APT repository.

Adding a #3rdparty APT repo to which apt connects upon every "apt update" is a huge #privacy #FAIL.
