In-case you didn’t know, Linus Sebastian of LTT media made a video with Linus Torvalds. If you watched the video, what are your thoughts?
BTW, he uses Fedora.

Sexual harassment, poor work life balance, anti union, etc
It was found to be an untrue allegation by a third party. You can of course choose to not believe them, but there was never any proof and everyone who works there denies it (and a lot of women work there), so take of that what you will.
Very true
Linus is not anti-union. He said he would consider it a personal failure if his employees felt the need to unionize, but he supports their right to do so.
It was NOT found to be untrue. Full stop.
It was found to be unsubstantiated. If you have experience with these types of investigations, that’s the most common outcome.
In order to substantiate it, there must be evidence multiple years after the fact.
Considering the poor data retention LTT has to it’s critical data, I seriously doubt their email/IM archives are much better. People forget, leave the company, etc.
They don’t interview former employees, except the subject/person who made the allegations.
These firms aren’t going to find evidence the majority of their investigations.
Considering the person who supposedly conducted th sexual harassment follows alt right manosphere people AND made a sexual joke during the sexual harassment meeting they had (I wonder why an employee recorded this meeting?) I’d consider the person who made the allegations is most likely to be truthful.
If you look at prosecution data of sexual assault, rape, etc you’ll see that the vast majority of cases go unprosecuted due to lack of evidence.
While this is slightly different, it is an interpersonal issue and hard records are unlikely
You are right, I was imprecise. What I meant is that “it was not found to be true”, not that “it was found to be not true”.
That and the thing where GamerNexus caught them benchmarking incorrectly, then selling off prototypes that they didn’t pay for. It’s not a good look for their integrity.
GN found a bunch of other errors but LTT won’t retest because of the aforementioned selling off prototypes they were given.
I think it looks good for the integrity of Linus that he took the blame and never revealed the identity of the logistics employee that made the mistake of misassigning the prototype for the auction. He could’ve easily thrown them under the bus and fired them instead, because their mistake did real reputation damage to the company.
That’s interesting. I’ll need to look it up.
I never really watched LTT even before the controversy. The story about the woman who moved to Canada to work there then got fucked over kinda turned me off so I started avoiding them. Something about it just felt icky but maybe I’m wrong about that.
I tried watching MKBHD but something about him feels off too.
Maybe I’m the problem.
