I'm shocked they are responding like that in public, really feels like a jab at the community.

I feel like they haven't really been about "the community" since they started selling most Pis to companies who use them in their products instead of to regular people, and then calling it "supply chain issues".

Having had business dealing with RPi Foundation in the past, this doesn't surprise me in the least. The way they talked about underserved communities was disgusting.

Upton is just as bad.

Steve Lord is the same dope who accused the 9front people of being nazis over a single image that was taken out of context. He couldn't have been more wrong but stood by his convictions and refused to budge and has not backtracked to this day. I would take anything said by this Cardinal Richelieu wannabe loudmouth with a grain of salt.

The point was the screenshots of the replies from Rasperry Pi, the medium is not the message here.

How safe is bladerunner.social? Do we know who runs it, what their privacy policy is, where the data is housed, etc.?

If I clicked that link, and bladerunner.social served me malware, where is the "throat to choke"?

I really don't understand your point. How is it different from every other URL you don't know?

And if you get malware from facebook.com, who do you think you're going to "choke"? You think you're going to get something from facebook?

If I was served malware by Facebook, I could definitely contact Facebook for assistance, and even sue them if necessary.

And the point about "URLs I dont know" is exactly my point - the move towards hosting content on websites of dubious operational security is a net negative for internet security. Sites like Facebook may not be perfect, but at least we know who runs them, that they've got skin in the game and incentives to adhere to their stated policies as well as laws and regulations, and where our data is located.
