No, this isn’t a bad thing. It’s a common misconception. Raspberry pi trading is going for an ipo. They’ve always been profit oriented. The raspberry pi foundation is still nonprofit, despite sharing some members.
You can still take issue with a for-profit private company going for an IPO. They are the part that does all of the hardware and software development and the impacts that public trading will have on them will be felt regardless of if the Foundation side remains unchanged.
Gross.
Anyone wanna start up a 501c3 to fill in the void?
I would if I could
I hope Linux is next just because i want to see the nerd tears.
Enshitification of Rasoberrypi. Didn’t see that coming.
I wanted to start my comment with “As a long time fan of the company…”, but then I remembered I still use PI 2b few times a week for what feels like a decade+ and that is all I ever got (besides buying that first PI Zero for some reason also forever ago).
CEO says firm will “keep doing the same stuff” at least “while I’m in charge.”
Narrator: he became President for Life
And so it begins…
Should I stop trusting software updates for my old pis?
Why would you?
There are plenty of third party replacements for Raspbian, including arch etc.
What OS?
I’d say not yet/
It was nice knowing you
AAAAAAAAA I HATE ENSHITTIFICATION
WHY DO YOU ALWAYS NEED MORE FUCKING MONEY
FUCK
They don’t just want more money. He wants a huge payout for retirement. And fuxk everyone else.
Its been coming for a while tho. They abandoned the affordable market long ago. Buy banana pis or other knockoffs, those have been better than the raspberry versions for a long time anyways…
How did they abandon the affordable market? You can get a 1GB pi 4 for $35 today, the same price as when it launched. You get get a zero 2 for $15 I think. Just because the pi 5 is more expensive doesn’t mean they’ve abandoned the affordable market. They just widened the product line. Jeez.
Thank you! This is the kind of info I was looking for. Fuck IPOs.
How is the community on the alternatives? I always hear that raspberry Pis is easier to beginners due to the community. Alternatives are cheaper and faster but doesn’t have a big community so not too user friendly.
I started with rockchip devices because I couldn’t get a real rpi. I had no trouble getting help for anything I was trying to do.
Oh no, please no. They were supposed to be the best of us.
Oh no, please no. They were supposed to be the best of us.
No King rules forever.
What would be the second best in terms of popularity, community and affordability?
If you don’t mind dogshit Rockchip Windows only shit-wear you’d do well with an OrangePi.
Pine and BeagleBoard have some decent options, but they’ll always be more expensive than rpi because of the economy of scale.
I don’t think I’ve ever been excited about the IPO of a company I’m a customer of. This trend continues.
“Go forth, and procreate” has come to mean “amass, forever”.
Well… RIP the Pi.
I lost my respect for the raspberry pi foundation when they prioritize businesses over everybody else when there was a shortage.
