       So... @Raspberry_Pi cofounder doesn't see a problem with their boards being used to #surveil people without consent, and instead it's just people mad on a #discord with not getting boards...https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisstokelwalker/raspberry-pi-hired-ex-cop-mastodon-controversyYeah, I think I'm done with the #raspberrypi now...  #Pine64 herein.

       @Raspberry_Pi Oh, the article and co-founder's comments get worse..."Upton said she believes much of the negative reaction to Roberts’s hiring is not genuine. “Toby was in the police force for 30 years in the UK,” she said. “He’s a decorated officer. He worked on organized crime, on getting drugs out of schools. He’s not a bad person, and this is not the United States. I think there are people out there intent on perpetuating a culture war on Mastodon. And I’m not sure their motives are necessarily benign.”"So, UK #police #surveillance is ok, because it's not US cops doing it.

       @y3mz @Raspberry_Pi I try to avoid intel now, for the same reason.Thinkpads can have the AMT neutered and coreboot installed, for the most part.

       @ubergeek @Raspberry_Pi i rather not cripple my #thinkpad. but if you boycott raspberry pi and want to get rid of them i can destroy them safely for you.

       @y3mz @Raspberry_Pi No need to get rid of boards I have already, just wont get new ones from them.I don't think getting rid of spyware on your laptop is "crippling it", same with coreboot.  Unless you prefer being limited on what wifi cards you can install on them?

       @ubergeek @Raspberry_Pi when you run t480s thinkpad crippling is putting lightly.  turns into a paperweight.

       @ubergeek @Raspberry_Pi had it since it came out. runs perfect. works well with nixos. know thy adversary is my mantra. nsa reach is infinite. they already know when i take a dump and what sort of ammo i buy  besides nsa has endless resources. the ultimate threat actor. i can't compete with that. i spent most of my time on earth hacking away at solutions. wasn't living my life. these days its best effort and a lot of give no fvcks. ive tonnes to hide, just not interested in the snowden-larp.  ive got *nix shvt to do.  its fun.
