@aaronco36 haha! hey that would be cool huh?!

@aaronco36 4GB version seems to out of stock already!

@Hawk1291 I hadn't used a micro HDMI port since I stopped using my my 10" tablet. Guess if I get a Raspberry Pi 4 I'll have to search for the micro HDMI-to-HDMI cable again.

I think I'll stick to my Raspberry Pi 2 for ham radio work. At least with that I already have a cable for it and the mobile laser projector (uses mini HDMI) I use as a display for it.

I really dislike the choice of the micro HDMI ports on the raspberry pi 4. Im sure this was for space to fit two ports on the pi but it seems like quite the edge case to use two displays with a raspberry. why sacrifice the compatibility? Now i cant just swap an hdmi cable dangling out of the monitor or TV. and forget backwards compatible cases. it just seems like a huge loss for a small gain. Other than that what an awesome little Board!

If Microsoft really wants us to believe they're all about open source, they should release 3D pinball.

I just got a message on LinkedIn recruiting for Amazon Web Services at Dublin. This was my reply:

"Thank you for your message! I am glad to hear that you find my profile interesting, and Dublin would be a great place to work at, but I have to say that I don't see myself working for an Amazon subsidiary. Amazon's values and mine are too far apart for that, unfortunately."

It did feel cool to be approached by AWS, but nope, I won't contribute to their quest for world domination.

After the AWS recruiter replied "Should anything change in the future please do let me know!", I took @bignose suggestion to heart and replied:
"Definitely!
As soon as Amazon and its subsidiaries use 100% renewable energy, pay all their workers a living wage, stop participating in surveillance, and stop aggressively attempting to monopolize markets (I know AWS itself is better than your parent company in many of these points, but it's still a subsidiary after all), I will be very happy to apply!

@colomar Thank you for the consistency with your values and for setting the good example. Money and prestige are not as good as the awareness of having acted with a straight conscience.

@bignose Great idea! I'll do that as well, then.

@colomar I went further and politely listed the conditions of my employment. Such as paying all workers a living wage, paying me to work only on creating freely licensed software, guaranteeing that my work would never be part of a surveillance system. And so on.

All conditions that, if met, would make them a candidate employer. It's well to remind them what it would take to get desirable employees :-)

@aaronco36 feeling pretty comfy with my AMD server right now. Not that I run any proprietary or otherwise potentially malicious code but whatever
