Also, what if this is an actual viable way to “market” for an open-source project?

I am fortunate enough to not market my stuff:

If somebody finds and can make use of it. Great.

In the other case who cares? Didn’t hurt or cost me anything to publish it.

Fake GitHub stares have other implications: Typosquatting is a real issue and fake stars make it more convincing that it is the genuine project.

They used 1 resistor for CC1 and CC2. The fix and correct implementation was to use one resistor per CC-line (two in total).

The issue was they didn’t direct the stock to the industry. They directed the stock to large customers and the small companies had no inventory at all for years or were squeezed (by the market) to the limit with a Pi4 going for $200 and more instead of $50.

The Pi CEO already went out in an interview and was like we did the right thing and would do it again. As such it was pathetic (to me) when they launched the Pi5 and were like community first. To be honest, they probably know that they need initial community support/software packages to sell it to their primary customer: Big companies.

I agree that the 3B+ was the best Pi but for other reasons:

• The Pi 3B+ had the perfect balance between performance and price with the performance being good enough at the time.
• Design flaws at launch. Remember the Pi4 CC1 & CC2? POE getting pulled from the market?
• Pi5: 5V 5A USB-C??? There is now 45W USB-PD (@15V) that would be compatible with generic PSUs but they went proprietary with 5A@5V.
• They put big customers first and let everybody else starve during the shortage. This forced me to alternatives and I have to say they work just as good and cost less.
• Jacking up retail prices: Even Intel x86 is now cheaper than a Raspberry Pi.

IOT? Don’t worry. Edge AI is now AIOT (AI IOT)

The initial bust happened.

They screwed up with the most critical group. To cite Steve Ballmer: “developers, developers, developers, developers”. Now tools like bot banning are gone.

Some moderators have stepped down or stayed till they were banned but in large they gave in. As nearly all posts in r/modnews have under 20% upvote ratio the mods are still not happy (e.g. 17% upvotes, 83% downvotes for the r/place announcement and comments are by large negative).

Btw. If you want to hurt Reddit: Post good content on Lemmy and cross-reference it on Reddit.

Btw. Lemmy won’t replace Reddit. This might be hard but it’s the truth and it might be the best for Lemmy as a big platform has a different flair compared to how Lemmy is right now.
