A formerly amazing charity now abandoning their principles and going for an IPO. What a shame.
Market Capitalism has poisoned the very core of humanity, civilization, and literally the COMMUNal environment we all rely on from one breath to the next.
Good thing the market capitalists are so fucking confident that the solution is… going harder on market capitalism. We’ll just merge, monopolize, and lay off our way into human happiness and equilibrium, won’t we?
That’s why the owners propagating this system are building luxury bunker compounds in places like New Zealand, because they’re planning to clean up their mess and have confidence in a bright future!
Can you link to these NZ bunkers ?
Also you know that NZ is basically a giant volcano. Lake Taupo, is a scheduled to blow and will wipe out most of the north island.
It isn’t some magically island paradise that the rich can runaway from the world.
Just this year he lost a bid to build a new property which was to be built into a remote hillside alongside Lake Wanaka on New Zealand’s South Island.
So no. No bunkers. Didn’t get approval and would be a pretty easy to find if someone gets approval for a bunker somewhere.
Those two articles. Both articles and not much more than speculation.
One article actually hints at it. However it doesn’t change the facts. NZ is a Yellowstone waiting to happen. Bunker or not the island is toasts.
Also there’s a reason NZ doesn’t have skyscrapers an d concrete buildings. The amount of earthquakes would make building a bunker pretty dam near impossible.
Deeper you dig to hide from calamity above you. Closer you get to calamity below you.
What’s your definition of a skyscraper? We have a load of buildings over 150m high, 40+ stories.
We have fancy earthquake tech for our tall buildings, like counterweights.
We’re the same as Japan, we’re both on the “ring of fire”, basically little scabs of islands where continents rub against each other.
Japan has loads of tall buildings. And concrete ones too.
“the island is toasts” lol.
They’re also building quite a few in the heartland of the US. Although honestly I think they’re one big scam by the people actually constructing them – fully stocked luxury bunker for you, your family, friends, etc all on some billionaires’ dime. If shit hits the fan and you don’t let them in what’re they gonna do – sue you about it?
The billionaire doomsday prepper mindset is ridiculous when you think about it for 30 seconds. Physical control over the resources around would be all that mattered, not how much Monopoly money you had in the before times.
Going public will fuck them up. Every corporate move will be tied to the stock. It will inevitably destroy them.
Which, at this point, I’m here for. Although I do miss the days when they were a force for good. Or at least nerds. Ah well. Sayonara, you insulting bastards.
Raspberry Pi 5 is the first model that had 0 hype online. It seems people have already started to move on.
Considering I could order an Orange Pi with 32gb of ram and still cant get a Rp5… yeah the king is dead.
Didn’t they start as a non-profit? But I guess, as someone I know used to say, there’s one god everybody worships: the money god.
Technically they still are, but the nonprofit owns and controls a for-profit corporation. I think they made that switcheroo a little over a decade ago, but someone else can fact check me the timing.
Uh, no? It’s the other way around?
According to who? You? Because the UK government says otherwise.
Raspberry Pi LTD (for-profit, founded 2012) is owned by the Raspberry Pi Foundation (non-profit, founded 2008).
Fair enough, but raspberry pi (trading) Ltd is the one that’s mostly in control.
What would be the second best in terms of popularity, community and affordability?
If you don’t mind dogshit Rockchip Windows only shit-wear you’d do well with an OrangePi.
