Adafruit sell DIY and educational electronics. Clearly they are globalist and communists.

I saw lady ada talk once several years ago. I had only ever bought a pi hat or something from them at that point, but seeing her was all it took to keep it the only purchase.

Just buy from mouser, arrow, or digikey. All the "maker" scene is hype.

I'm a pi man. There are a ton of options. When I joined voat, it was 99% tech content and 1% memes. My how things changed.

I've done some stuff with friendlyelectric boards and bannana pi/orange pi. Have a lot of experience on nvidia jetson platforms.

But muh breakout boards! Real hackers go to the source, but sometimes it is fater/easeir to pay more and buy from Maker stores. That said Boycott Adafruit. I am not sure if SparkFun is woke.

It's ran by a chick right? Should be all you need to know. Buy the same shit from alibaba/express. None of those components are made in America anyway

A pink hair chick too. Adafruit does some assembly in house, but parts come from overseas.

I'm in this world too, but I hate the faggot "maker" community. I stick with low level stuff and only read hackaday. Seems to be the only tech site that hasn't shoehorned their enlightened moral virtues into a post about lipo cells

I spent so long building an x0xb0x, and it’s late syncing to midi. What a joke.

x0xb0x looks cool but would be a pain to put together. I bought some kits from her years back before she went full retard and commercial.
