Ebrius Disputatios

Liberals pretend not to know what the definition of women are, especially when it suits them. However, they left wing crowd doesn't have a monopoly on hypocrisy at all. They have always had company in this regard but that side has always pretended that the US Constitution, Trumps all.

This observation isn't lost on many, when they notice that the US, a nation that pretends to stand for freedom, “democracy,” fairness and the rule of law, seem to have no conflict in waging an unprovoked war on a nation whose policies it pretends not to like. Did I just use the word war? Forgive me, for it seems that the proponents of this military action, are suddenly unable to comprehend what the word war means.

This amnesia isn't dissimilar to liberal politicians, pundits and judicial members, who claim that they are incapable of defining what women are. All of a sudden, the alleged right wing in the US, seem to have themselves, caught the plague, since they now are unable to define whether murdering fishermen on the high seas, bombing infrastructure in a nation at peace and kidnapping that said nation's lawfully elected leader along with his wife, as acts of war.

Congress seems to be selective in carrying out its responsibilities and now seems content to defer to the Executive branch, waging war without any declaration by the legislature. So much for the US Constitution being the law of the land.

The so called “rules based order,” is a sham. It obviously only applies to nations which aren't the US and or Israel. However, we're not permitted to notice and or mention this obvious fact. Freedom is only achievable by the force of superior arms against tyrants and only organized, overwhelming, fucking violence will keep said freedoms and also, keep the peace. The US and the entire world are pretenders and liars. None of what we see or hear means what the rhetoric implies.

The USA Has A Long History Of Interference In Venezuela.

Bien avant d’enlever Nicolás Maduro, les États-Unis et leurs alliés ont étranglé l’économie vénézuélienne par un blocus financier et pétrolier. Ces sanctions ont aggravé la crise, nourri l’exode et renforcé la paranoïa du régime.

How Empires Fall.

It seems that the US deep state and hubris, is what has finally killed the US. In the history of the US’s relation with Latin America, what just happened in Venezuela is hardly unique: in the slightly less than a hundred years from 1898 to 1994, the U.S. government has intervened successfully to change governments in Latin America a total of at least 41 times, with direct intervention occurring in 17 of the 41 cases. What is unprecedented however is the brazenness, the unabashedly predatory nature of the intervention.

Future Raspberry Pi models will feature more USB-C functionality and UEFI firmware. The company's own Linux distribution will continue to be maintained.

What's next for the Raspberry Pi single-board computer? Eben Upton, CEO of Raspberry Pi Plc., answered numerous questions on this topic on August 23rd at Maker Faire Hannover 2025. He spoke with Daniel Bachfeld, editor-in-chief of Make: magazine, and Christof Windeck from c't. The discussion began with the cost: Upton acknowledged that the current Raspberry Pi 5, with a starting price of around €50 for the 2GB version, is significantly more expensive than the Raspberry Pi 4. He explained that considerably more powerful chips, as well as more and faster I/O ports like PCI Express, simply cost more, in addition to general price increases. However, he promised that future Raspberry Pi models would remain affordable.

Eben Upton initially dodged the question about additional USB-C features. He explained at length that integrating complex USB-C functions was time-consuming, expensive, and prone to errors. Sometimes additional chips were needed to protect the USB port against fatal errors – and these not only cost money but also took up valuable space on the circuit board, which is intended to retain its payment card-sized form factor.

He also mentioned advantages of USB-C, such as the ability to connect displays instead of using HDMI or Micro-HDMI. However, this isn't expected in the upcoming Raspberry Pi 6, but rather in the generation after next. He didn't mention a release year, but based on past experience (Raspberry Pi 3: 2016, Raspberry Pi 4: 2019, Raspberry Pi 5: 2023), a Raspberry Pi 6 isn't expected until the second half of 2026 at the earliest, and a Raspberry Pi 7 probably not until 2030.

UEFI BIOS

According to Upton, the Raspberry Pi developers are already working on UEFI-compatible firmware. This would simplify booting different Linux distributions on a Raspberry Pi. The potential Raspberry Pi UEFI is intended to be compatible with the specifications of the ARM Base System Architecture (BSA). Such UEFI firmware is available for download for the Raspberry Pi 4, allowing certain versions of Windows 10 to boot. For the Raspberry Pi 5, there is rudimentary UEFI support from other developers. Upton also emphasized, however, that they intend to stick with their own Linux distribution, Raspberry Pi OS, for the foreseeable future. It offers the most comprehensive support for Raspberry Pi hardware and makes it easier to maintain projects across multiple Raspberry Pi generations. With Raspberry Pi OS, they also pay attention to memory requirements so that desktop applications can still be used effectively even on Raspberry Pi versions with only 2 GB of RAM.

Raspberry Pi markets and chip development

Raspberry Pi Plc. and Eben Upton himself have been frequent guests at German trade fairs and events such as Maker Faire Hannover in recent years. After the USA, Germany is the most important market for the single-board computers and accessories. However, the company now generates more than 70 percent of its revenue from commercial customers (Original Equipment Manufacturers, OEMs). These OEMs integrate Raspberry Pi components into their own devices, such as the Raspberry Pi Compute Modules (CM), the RP2040 and RP2350 microcontrollers, and the Pico boards (Pico, Pico W, Pico 2, Pico 2 W) equipped with them. Upton meets OEM manufacturers, for example, at the Embedded World trade fair in Nuremberg.

Sales to industrial customers are intended to help further develop the Raspberry Pi product range for hobbyists and the education sector. Raspberry Pi Plc. employs around 140 people and aims to attract and retain talented individuals with good pay and career advancement opportunities.

Chip development

Upton holds an MBA, but his PhD in Computer Science comes from Cambridge, and his passion lies in chip development. He said it's always exciting when the first prototypes of a new chip come off the production line. Often, things go wrong – making the success of the first chip all the more rewarding. In the interview, he also addressed the risks associated with integrating third-party functional blocks into one's own chips. He considers the RISC-V cores in the RP2350 a success, but it remains unclear when RISC-V technology will be able to replace the ARM cores in Raspberry Pi single-board computers.

While PayPal and those other faggots can discriminate, ban and cancel people, the Post Office can not. The USPS is no stranger to financial operations, since the issue money orders. How much of a stretch would it be to have a USPS account which would facilitate online payments? Am I the only person that's thinking this would make PayPal and others shit their pants?

Zerohedge has the story.

More of the story is here.

The EU decided to spend $4.2 million on UNESCO’s online speech censorship scheme. After JD Vance tried to get through to them, they decided to become even more authoritarian.

They want to quash free speech. While they are becoming more dictatorial, they constantly see the Heil Hitler signal everywhere in conservative photos, but never their own.
