Why does it have to be LMG of all places to use lemmy. Linus is not the cool tech guy anymore, he's just another corpa boss who prefers profits over people and accuracy.

LMG has a long history of overworking its workers, plus reports of sexual harassment and bullying...

He belongs with spez and all other profit shitheads the fediverse is supposed to be free of.

My favorite linus quote (when asked why he didn't properly test a product for a video):

I don't know if I can apologize for not spending another $500 of various people's time.

Didn't he step down as boss after the latest kerfuffle because he just doesn't make for a good boss.

Those reports were both unsubstantiated by a 3rd party audit. Linus does not prefer profits over accuracy, when they received backlash for being inaccurate and rushing out videos they took a week off and reworked their system and have stuck to it. ~~Gamers Nexus~~ The people who predominantly called them out have done, and are doing the same things as LTT.

When their book bag carabiners were breaking they didn't say "oh well", and they shipped out replacement parts and gave them a $25. If they still weren't happy they got a full refund. This does not sound like "corpa boss" to me. Now I can't tell the future, but right now LTT is just fine.
