The pi has already been losing out to clone boards, so not a huge loss tbh.
The Pi's hardware is behind the clone boards but it's still well ahead of them all in terms of software support from what I've heard. Maybe the incoming IPO driven enshittification will cause the community to coalesce around one of the clones and give it a comparable level of support.
Pine64 or Odroid would be my bet for scooping up the market for compute heavy workloads, and Arduino already has the low end pretty well covered. the RPI's strongest area IMO is the middle, where you need more compute power than an Arduino but want to minimize power consumption, which is what the pico and above that zero can fill, there are clones that use the RP2040 chip that do fill that niche as well but that chip is still made by RPI.
over a year ago after hiring a cop who used them to spy on people was the best time to move to one of the many raspberry pi alternatives, the next best time is now
Yep, this was the final straw for me as well. Especially with the Pi 5 having custom silicon and such, that's a huge no thanks for me... The VisionFive & Milk-V RISC-V boards look promising and I have faith in our Chinese comrades.
I’m gonna jump out of this plane if you think I’m going to fall at terminal velocity and collide into the ground, keep watching. Let’s look at in 15, 20 minutes time
Extremely naive if not simply a lie.
There is strong financial incentive for myopic decisions and a long demonstrative history that shows precisely that. The RPi is no more.
Guess I'll be waiting on a new champion before upgrading my rpi4 htpc (I want 4k youtbe tho 😭)
