The problem with Raspberry Pi proudly hiring an ex-spy cop and seeing nothing wrong with it isn’t that they were unprofessional in their replies to criticism on the fediverse. It was the fact that they proudly hired an ex-spy cop and see nothing wrong with it.

I'm frustrated because I've had conversations with our admin and I don't think he's some kind of crypto-Nazi. The qoto timeline, which anyone can see, is in no way full of hateful garbage. (There is some awful stuff in the qoto *federated* feed.)

People on both sides seem reasonable and kind; I don't understand why they're fighting.

Massively produced plausible non-truth can easily overwhelm a recipient. Kind of a DDOS for knowledge.

@vanbadham why do we need a pay rise and not a price drop?
A man walks into his local library.
Man to the librarian: "Do you have a book about Pavlov's Dogs and Schrodinger's Cat?
Librarian: "Ah now that rings a bell, but I'm not sure if it is there or not"
@TerryHancock @yoshimitsu There's no money to be made. I have plenty of donations to cover server costs, but if I'd bill the hours I've spent.. it's not nearly enough. But it's still hobby so doesn't need to be.
