@lmcdo_ (Luke): @armbian @MisterTechBlog What on earth is this? And why is it coming from the armbian official account? https://tinyurl.com/y2ehhrk3 (29s ago)

@lmcdo_ (Luke): @armbian @MisterTechBlog That's not much of a perspective, "company makes proprietary software so other things they do are bad." https://tinyurl.com/y6bpbbt7 (28s ago)

@TonyMac_32 (Thomas McKahan): @lmcdo_ @armbian @MisterTechBlog I think the perspective is: The repo being installed is additional to the fact that Microsoft has an ownership stake in the binary blob firmware that actually controls the RPi and gives Linux permission to utilize resources. https://tinyurl.com/y4e8cygd (24s ago)

@Chainsman (💩💩Chainsman💩💩): @armbian @MisterTechBlog Calm yourself. It's just the MS Visual Studio Code editor. https://tinyurl.com/y3h6v3hn (4s ago)

@lmcdo_ (Luke): @TonyMac_32 @armbian @MisterTechBlog To me that just says that MS has been in the embedded space a long time, before their FOSS era. These Broadcom chips have a whole lot of legacy. Not a related point imo. https://tinyurl.com/y4dvghc7 (5s ago)

@lmcdo_ (Luke): @TonyMac_32 @armbian @MisterTechBlog That's even less problematic imo. And there's no need for a distro to be amplifying unfounded fears. It's a licensed blob, it's not going to get worse in MS' possession. https://tinyurl.com/yyyuvo3a (10s ago)

@TonyMac_32 (Thomas McKahan): @lmcdo_ @armbian @MisterTechBlog I never said it was. I'm also not particularly worried about repos that Pi decides to put into their OS. There are people that care deeply about that though, and about blobs in general. Amlogic comes to mind as another "guilty" party. https://tinyurl.com/yxu8a9du (11s ago)

@TonyMac_32 (Thomas McKahan): @lmcdo_ @armbian @MisterTechBlog The RPi "blob", however, is a full operating system. It has full control of the Pi. Linux runs on the ARM cores because that blob allows it to. Less than ideal, let's say. I would not use one where security or stability was important unless given the sources. https://tinyurl.com/y5lvn43d (4s ago)

blob is an OS what a wack job

mesa is an OS cuz w/o it ya cant run a DE on X

@lmcdo_ (Luke): @TonyMac_32 @armbian @MisterTechBlog Agreed. But that's still Broadcom and the original company that MS bought, not MS. It's not even connected. https://tinyurl.com/yxqto6fx (19s ago)

Armbian-config totally broken, gives me a bunch of empty menus
<R0b0t1>
And armbianenv is corrupted?
<archetech>
that tool stinks imo

guess it depends on what sbc ya try to use it with

@battlecoder (Elias (battlecoder)): I'd love to install ARMbian or similar on my NXP i.MX7D. I think they are pretty sweet boards for robotics/electronics, but now that Android Things is officially dead I definitely need to start looking into options. https://tinyurl.com/y2n3hkjg (21s ago)
