    for a moment I’d like to disregard Linux.

    fuck this bleached asshole and his bullshit. fuck his viewpoint on unions, fuck his viewpoint on worker rights, fuck his viewpoint on warranties, fuck his missinfo peddling of a company and fuck his company a 2nd time for allowing employee misconduct.

    recall when GN called them out on their shit in private but they did not give a fuck? then when they got exposed did they finally get their panties in a knot. any1 else notice the typical corporate response? oh we just had a major controversy? time for the CEO to step down to a totally diff C suite position (trust me bro) and it’ll all blow over.

    Linux ain’t the only thing to get bashed by this particular soyboy. any1 watch the GrapheneOS video? don’t bother. the thumbnail still depicts those that use it to be criminals (so did the title b4 they got backlash). I will judge a fucking book by its cover cuz fuck you.

    now for our beloved Linux. most of PewDiePie’s career used to be shitposting, but then he built a damn PC and installed Linux on it w/o announcing it. and sm how this corpo cocksucking sleazebag despite being in the industry for alleged 20 yrs doesn’t know jackshit on how to operate a computer running a different operating system? hand me a laptop running FreeBSD and watch me figure that shit out in 3 days w/o having ever used it. oh right he’s a corpo cocksucking sleazebag.

      For anyone interested, in regards to the employee abuse claims. A 3rd party law firm was brought in for an investigation at the expense of LMG. 8 months later the results of the investigation were posted here:

      https://xcancel.com/LinusTech/status/1793428629378208057

      Some of the highlights are below:

      In summary, as confirmed by the investigation, the allegations made against the team were largely unfounded, misleading, and unfair.

      Or more specifically the investigation found that:

      Claims of bullying and harassment were not substantiated.

      Allegations that sexual harassment were ignored or not addressed were false.

      Any concerns that were raised were investigated. Furthermore, from reviewing our history, the investigator is confident that if any other concerns had been raised, we would have investigated them.

      There was no evidence of “abuse of power” or retaliation. The individual involved may not have agreed with our decisions or performance feedback, but our actions were for legitimate work-related purposes, and our business reasons were valid.

      Allegations of process errors and miscommunication while onboarding this individual were partially substantiated, but the investigator found ample documentary evidence of LMG working to rectify the errors and the individual being treated generously and respectfully. When they had questions, they were responded to and addressed.

        I am still a bit skeptical tho especially w the “at the expense of LMG” part. to me its kinda like “we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong”. if the lawfirm is highly regarded then perhaps their word could be trusted. regardless thank you for the enlightenment. I stopped following LMG around the time GN dropped their nuke and have not kept in touch.
