Depends on your definition of homelessness. Living in a shitty, broken down van probably counts. But what about living in a $200k Mercedes Sprinter van converted to a camper, with a stable job that lets you work remote? What about a retired couple living in a 40’ RV, after spending their working lives dreaming about traveling around the country?

Wow, that looks really good! I like the labels on each server! Are the 3d printed parts custom or did you find them online?

This is a workstation cpu, if you need a fast PC to do your job you don’t have much choice but pay the AI premium.

The article says it’s for workstations and points out that the dual cache is a potential downside for gaming.

I didn’t watch the video, and I only found out about the blog post through Lemmy.

IMO the blog and video seem a little click-baity. Yes, he technically does acknowledge (in the video, not the blog) that older Pi models are still being produced, but saying the SBC market is dying is crazy. How many projects really need the specs of a Pi 5 in that form factor? If you need that performance, you probably have space for something a little bigger.

Here’s the author’s own tl;dr:

But if you’d like the tl;dr:

Unless the DRAM pricing situation changes radically, I think the hobbyist SBC market is dying—or at least on life support. And I don’t just mean Raspberry Pis, but all SBC vendors. LPDDR chips now account for the majority of board cost from the vendors I’ve checked with.

Raspberry Pi would have been fine if they stopped at the Pi 3. I’m not saying they shouldn’t have made the 4, or even 5… but the Pi 3 and Zero 2 are (IMO) their best products in terms of price-to-value. The SBC market is fine.

“Buried in the video” isn’t the same as “talked about in the blog.”

Which blog? If you mean the OP, could you quote the section you’re talking about? I don’t see any mention of Pi models besides the 4 and 5.

Look-alikes and doppelgangers have been around for longer than AI has, and so have conspiracy theories about famous people being replaced by body doubles. They could replace a famous person with AI, but a body double would probably be more convincing since they could still make public appearances.

The thing that these complaints about RPi pricing always seems to miss is that most Pi models are still manufactured and supported. Most projects don’t need a Pi 5 with 16GB of RAM, even a Pi Zero 2 (under $20) is overkill for a lot of projects.

Are you aware that RFK is a big supporter of chiropractors? If anyone is spouting RFKs bullshit, it’s you.

Clearly.

What’s next, my drug dealer will start checking IDs? /s

They’re going to put age verification on pirating too!?

“completely degrading” - sounds like an oxymoron… “degraded” means it’s partially functioning, not completely working but not completely broken either.

Some of them might know how to use a torrent client though.

Weird Al’s career was built on this. He asked the original artists for permission, but that was out of respect, not because he had to.

You seem to be shifting the goal posts. None of the articles you linked to are about deficiencies in the ADA - in fact, your first link says this about it:

This act was so influential in improving challenges experienced by PWDs that its anniversary is celebrated annually through Disability Pride parades; these parades are typically held in large cities such as New York City and Chicago.

I never claimed America does more for disabled people than other countries. There are a lot of ways that we fall short. But when it comes to the ADA, it exceeds everything I’ve seen in foreign countries, and I’m proud of it.

I also understand that Denmark has laws that require a certain level of accessibility in public buildings. I never denied that, but I still maintain that their requirements are not equivalent to the ADA. So for, they seem to be inferior.

This article makes it sound like Denmark does, on occasion, flip the bird to disabled people. Can you share any counter-evidence that shows Denmark has a law that’s equivalent to the ADA?

The core issue is political and structural. Responsibility for disability policy is spread across multiple ministries with no coordination, long-term vision, or accountability mechanisms. People with disabilities and their families navigate a patchwork system that often fails to meet even basic needs.

This affects every aspect of daily life. Healthcare access remains unequal. Public transport and housing are not fully accessible. Participation in cultural and democratic life, including voting, is limited for too many. Even Denmark’s emergency preparedness plans overlook people with disabilities, leaving those who rely on electricity, medicine, or personal assistance uncertain about how they would manage during a crisis.

Your attitude is off putting, by the way. I’m glad most people I’ve met in Europe are more pleasant than you’re being.

True, but ignoring those old buildings, how many countries in Europe and Asia have laws like the ADA for new buildings? And sidewalks and parking lots?

You really don’t realize how much had been done to support people who have difficulties walking, hearing, etc. until you travel in Europe or Asia with someone who needs assistance. Walkable cities are great if you can walk, but you don’t notice the lack of wheelchair ramps unless you need them yourself or are traveling with someone who needs them.

As an American, the ADA is definitely something to be proud of.
