It's hard to get too excited about anything coming from Raspberry Pi these days. Their anti consumer moves, weird accusatory social media positioning and obscene pricing just makes it all feel a bit like their relationship with B2C has gone very sour.

The tailwind ones slightly misleading. They laid off their staff, posted on twitter about it, opened a sponsorship program, made approximately $2 million, and THEN joined shopify.

Then theres something wrong with your nose.

Built one in 2001, there were lots of discussions about it on I think it was the Audiogon forums at the time, a whole thread of a good few hundred people building them. I seem to recall a few had been using them since the 90s as well.

Or put another way, "Let me pluck one of the rare side effects and make it seem like its a common one because I know nothing about this"

Not everyone gets nausia. On .25 I had zero side effects. At .5 minor sulpher burps that lasted a few days and then again down to zero side effects. In the online communities of people on GPL-1 very few people have side effects.

Why on earth would having no side effects suck? As long as its working (weight loss) then thats the ideal scenario.

if you're babysitting a modern server you're doing something very wrong, or more likely don't know what you're doing.

Nah I switched to Brave. Firefox is still slower than any chromium based browser.

Why would i switch to a browser that only gets one update a year, and a minor one at that? They've lost the plot.

Yeah this doesn't answer the question does it. It's not even what this topic is about. Closing something a couple of months ago isnt moving the needle on the post literally talking about since the 1970s, which is the point I was very clear about making to hopefully avoid someones "well last month X happened" argument which as you full well know is nothing remotely to do with the topic at hand, however sad it may be that people have lost their jobs, which is also not the topic at hand.

Please debate in good faith.

Energy has only been expensive recently, and there has been zero issue with power supply beyond silly tabloid fear mongering. So between the 70s and lets say 10 years ago, the argument for expensive power really does not hold true.

Which industries? If you're going to make that claim be specific. The UK has deindustrialised since the 70s which was nothing to do with electricity costs or availability. Any recent industries leaving are not covered by the stats here so would be pretty irrelevant, which means you're not talking about those, you're talking about something else for it to cover the period between the 70s and now.

Explain. Nobodys going without power.

They arent going without. Blackouts/brownouts are exceptionally rare in the UK.
