Good catch with the disk encryption stuff! Tumbleweed never fails to surprise me with how stable it is for a rolling release distro!

Phones have gotten to the point now where switching to an iPhone would be an inconvenience since I’m somewhat bought into the android ecosystem, but other than that, I genuinely wouldn’t care that much. It’s amazing how little there is between them now.
I do not have an opinion on the overall issue more complicated than defederation only makes sense in the most extreme of cases, but I take issue with your claim that there was a “demand” to remove the word tankie from the banner. I saw the message that was sent and it was not a demand, it was a polite request. Once again, I do not care at all about the overall issue, but if you’re going to provide a summary, be accurate at least.
Lemmy would be great if people would just stop whinging all the time and just blocked communities they didn’t like. Jesus.
While there are now X86 SBC / Mini Computers that aren’t far off the Pi in price, the real benefits of the Pi aren’t just the fact that it offers a certain amount of compute for a certain price.
-
It’s still lower power than most x86 SBCs overall, which matters with portable/remote applications
-
Its schematics are usually available
-
They’re easy to get and have a usually guaranteed availability, so when one dies you should be able to get another
-
its got a decent ecosystem around it of hardware and software, which basically nobody else can claim
-
it’s a fairly standard form factor, so fits into existing stuff well.
-
It’s likely we will see a compute module for the Pi 5 as well at a guess, which means you can treat the vanilla Pi 5 as a dev board for whatever product you’re developing, and then use a potential CM5 as the core of your product once it’s ready to go!
If all you need is a home server or a Linux box, then sure get an X86 SBC, but the Pi isn’t irrelevant, not by a long shot! Congratulations on releasing yet another sweet spot product, I’ll be picking one up as soon as I think of a use for one!
Get yourself a generally well regarded set of headphones, then look into HTTPS://AUTOEQ.app, and you’ll have a great time. You don’t have to go ridiculous to get amazing audio.
And yet Firefox marketshare will keep dwindling. Drives me mad!
