Re: Microsoft repo secretly installed on all Raspberry Pi’s
The really outrageous thing is that the Raspbian developers added it to the main component of their repositories, which is in complete violation of Debian Policy. The bastards...

I was going to get a rpi4 but dont believe i will bother now that they have partnered with microsoft, i say partnered loosely here mind you. I believe once you let them in you may as well put that sticker on side of the case.

Hello dice, fancy seeing you here
De??an users should avoid Raspberry Pi devices, they rely on binary blobs to boot and for their video chips. The platform is inherently proprietary.dice wrote:I was going to get a rpi4

indeed!Head_on_a_Stick wrote:Hello dice, fancy seeing you hereDe??an users should avoid Raspberry Pi devices, they rely on binary blobs to boot and for their video chips. The platform is inherently proprietary.dice wrote:I was going to get a rpi4
yeah i read a page back what you said about blobs so that was another nail in the coffin for me as well.
other than rpi i was looking at odroids as well, any recommendations ?

I don't have any single board computers but I would probably go for HiFive's new Unmatched board 'cos RISC-V.dice wrote:any recommendations ?
The Debian wiki has some (probably outdated) recommendations: https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi#Sho ... erry_Pi.3F
But you should probably open a new thread for this, it is off-topic here.

Re: Microsoft repo secretly installed on all Raspberry Pi’s
More ramblings ... Gnu/Linux .. Debian and open source long since cured me of the bane of Microsoft too, so since I don't need them for any of my computing needs I'm happier now. Surely I've already said it in this thread but if did get a Pi of course it's going to have pure Debian on it. I get that people need to make money, it's business but have often found someone can do that without having to be scummy or all this corporate sleaze.
Still don't doubt there are tons of people who don't/won't do business that way. Even if it seems scumtastic is the new SOP = standard operating procedure, are plenty of good people remaining too. Always has been, always will be.

Yesterday downloaded 2021-03-04-raspios-buster-armhf-lite, and when booted it on my RPi 1.0 saw message 'blocking vscode repo" and later "removing 3rd party sources".
