No need to be an ass about it. For those who don’t want to sift through an article, the RPi Foundation apparently hired an ex-cop who had been known to use their products to conduct surveillance, and that caused a controversy.
@bappity no yeah totally I used it for ages it just sucks there is no truly independent privacy orientated browser. the closest thing to that is brave search
Well – they never really backed down on what they did. Far as we know the out-and-proud espionage cop is still in their payroll, and the only response they ever gave to the story was a generalised ‘We think the entire thing is being astroturfed and that no one reasonable is ACTUALLY against us hiring this guy who bragged about all the espionage he did’ back in the day.
They never said anything about it since. So it’s fair to assume they still believe in what they did.
Are they still playing apologetics for the cops? Because if so, no thanks.
What does that mean?
Here’s a google prompt for you: “raspberry pi police”

Thanks for the info, I will say I did chuckle from OP’s response but this is infinitely more useful.
“Are they still [irrelevant complaint]”
“What?”
“GoOgLe iT”
Sigh…
“Raspberry Pi eats babies”.
everybody claps and cheers when you say jUsT gOoGLe iT instead of being a decent human being and providing context
Especially annoying considering google has been getting worse every day

@bappity @asexualchangeling sadly duck duck go is basically just a bing proxy
at least it’s not Google and it works for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
