@y3mz @hugh @joepie91 @enron yep, I was about to allude to BBS culture where busy boards got frequent busy signals. Wanted more lines? Buy more time credits! Or share more files!Nothing was expected to always be available, without some sort of contribution.

@Raspberry_Pi @TobyRobertsPi um, well this def makes me reconsider buying Pis for future projects... Not knowing if they will be built to spy on me a la something like Intel AMT phoning home without me knowing.

@Raspberry_Pi @TobyRobertsPi blocked now, by @Raspberry_Pi ...Good job: alienate your target demo. I'm buying RPi's, not my wife and kids.And the hacker spaces I run with don't like cops, either.

@Darkayne @realcaseyrollins just because a group of people willingly come together in one place to Collab willingly, and publish a list people can use in whole, or in part, willingly, doesn't make it centralized.That is distributed decision making.

@Darkayne @realcaseyrollins and that still doesn't make it centralized.It is still distributed decision making.

@Darkayne @realcaseyrollins Just looked over that talk page, and the wiki page, and it just seems like a list people can use, or not use, as instance admins, or even individual users.Nothing centralized about it, I don't think any Masto instances automagically pull that list in to block them, and qoto seems to be in the category of "Be wary" and the reason is clearly given, and the instance admins agree that it is true.So... what's the problem again? How is this "centralization"?

@realcaseyrollins @Curator Well, the good news, is @artisancat has zero need to explain any moderation choices to you, and if you don't like that, you are free to block that domain, that person, at your instance level (If you're an admin) or individually.This is the great thing about a federated network like this: specific instances have their own moderation rules and styles, and people are free to federate with others, or not, and are free to work together to create lists of instances they block or don't.

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.

@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?

@y3mz @Raspberry_Pi eh, use what you got, then. Just avoid them in the future.You do you, it's a free world.

Anyone bigly mad about me calling #Biden to the table for his role in supporting #genocide, and claiming the #Palestinians aren't being genocided...https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/un-experts-say-ceasefire-needed-palestinians-grave-risk-genocide-2023-11-02/Well, experts in genocide disagree with you, and if you "did your own research" (ie, looking at youtube videos and biased articles supporting your view) and still disagree with the experts in the subject?You are no different than the #COVID deniers who "did their own research" and came up with all sorts of zany ideas. None of which are actually based on real, research.So, keep your shit to yourself. Especially your defense of genocide. "Never again" means "Never again, anywhere, against anyone", which of course, we have forgotten, since about 2 years after saying it.
