I’m really good at searching Google. I’m a “prompt engineer” too

This is the stupidest use of this stupid meme with this stupid piece of shit that I’ve ever seen

lol, is that what you took away from that? He burnt himself out, took it out on his employees, and his audience.

In what way is he looking like a victim here?

It’s clear Linus has come to the conclusion he’s in way over his head. A small channel to a full blown media/tech company is a whole different ball game.

Coming up to the new CEO announcement, you could tell Linus was burning out. He seemed tired, quick to anger, and just generally in a bad mood.

That shit rolls down hill. Pushing for more videos on a tight schedule and burning everyone else out with him has led to the sloppiness.

As for Madison, I believe her. The company clearly has managers who have no business managing and simply got those positions via having tenure as the company grew.

Culture rots when there is no accountability, and when you have a burned out, grouchy CEO trying to do too much, too fast.

So what will matter now is what they do about it. Linus hiring a CEO is a good first step. I feel LMG has always been remarkably transparent and they aren’t pretending Madison’s story didn’t happen.

So if there is accountability for what happened to Madison (as in the people who totally did not do their jobs should be likely fired) and if proper training and processes are in place to make sure it doesn’t happen again, then at the end of the day, they’re doing what they can when shitty stuff like this happens.

Ideally it never happens. But if it does, do what you can to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Say what you want about the LMS folks, they’ve always been open. Linus’ heart is almost always in the right place. He wants to build an ethical and transparent company. He is a huge tech nerd and that’s what makes LTT so entertaining.

If it continues to degrade, yeah, I’m going to pass on further supporting them. But until they prove they can’t or won’t act in good faith, I believe them

A classic

Whoa. It’s like I’m seeing clearly for the first time in my life. You’ve opened my eyes and I will now immediately stop enjoying things because you, for some reason, feel so weirdly insecure about your own tastes that you felt the need to write, like, 25 paragraphs (that I absolutely did not read) seeking validation from internet strangers.

Really though. What was the goal here?

I feel like we’re splitting hairs here. MIT is an extremely permissible license. The fact someone could take this and make a closed source fork doesn’t affect the existence or openness of the MIT licensed releases

Even their web and mobile clients are FOSS

The FUD and misinformation on here about Bluesky an AT is wild

Bluesky is still in beta. It’s intentionally not open to the general public because federation hasn’t yet been opened up and they only have one instance running.

The nice thing about Bluesky’s architecture (over ActivityPub) is the fact your content and identity is portable. So you can move over to a different instance as they start to come online.

I think the important takeaway from articles like this is the fundamental misunderstanding of decentralized social protocols. It shouldn’t be on one central authority how things are moderated globally. These kinds of articles kind of prove the point.

Plus it has a large library of great games that can be found cheap/used. Easily worth $100

Most of what you’d be playing on PS5 are PS4 games anyway
