Yeah, the Pi moving to full computer thing is weird because the SD card is still a massive bottleneck on normal day-to-day usage.

Will you use a separate flight controller chip or try to do it all on board?

It’s been a while but I remember Orange Pi having terrible support? I haven’t heard of the others.

Whereas the RPi has the amazing compute module if you need it too.

Sometimes paying more is better.

What are the better options?

Pis have great software support so for GPIO experimentation it’s so useful.

Most of them are cheap though. Like Spotify at ~$10 is nothing, you can barely get a beer for that in the city these days. That’s far cheaper than you used to pay for CDs!

Netflix really took the piss though - with the charging for no ads, HD and multiple screens. Then it gets to like $30 a month which just isn’t worth it with the diminishing library, so I cancelled that and use Amazon Prime Video for now as it’s still cheap in my country (and has no ads for now).

BeeHaw went full Reddit powermod level of power-tripping.

But the lump of labour fallacy is wrong - in the end automation makes us all wealthier as goods become cheaper, and people can do more productive work (and be better educated for it too).

But how would they know? It’s like Blade Runner.

This is the new luddite movement.

It really is. Degrowth is destitution and death - just look at Germany.

We need to decouple electricity production from environmental damage - build renewable power and nuclear power station en masse and invest heavily in nuclear fusion.

I never switched. Just doesn’t seem worth the hassle.

Loads of broken features and extra work shoved onto the individual compositor / WM developers. I don’t care about security on my own computer, I just want screen sharing and clipboards to work reliably.

That said, I use just one (ultrawide) monitor, so even the benefits aren’t really there at all.
