Hello, my name is Cris. :)

I like being nice to people on the internet and looking at cool art stuff

  • I think maybe we should stop short of saying we know for a fact what did or didn't happen with her. An outside investigation does absolutely help, and hopefully if anything was wrong it has now been rectified.

    But there are lots of ways that companies can clear their names, and bringing in a company to do an investigation could either be done in good faith, or be a very effective way of cleaning up an enormous PR mess.

    I think we should be warry of making snap calls about who was factually in the right in these kinds of situations unless there's hard evidence available to us. Often these situations are about our gut feeling of what happened, and our gut feeling isn't objective. And getting it wrong in either direction has the potential to be enormously damaging (though in this case I believe there was no specific alleged perpetrator for the allegations like sexual harassment)

    I feel this is one of those situations where nuance and being okay with not knowing exactly what happened is important. Though perhaps you know more facts about the situation than I do, and have more concrete reason to believe it was highly exaggerated

  • Thats very fair, I vaguely recalled there was some initial handling of the issue that wasn't great or something, and that was what I was talking about. I'm glad to hear the longer term response has been a lot better! (Assuming I'm even remembering correctly that the initial handling was crummy)

    Thank you for adding more info and context!

  • Are you joking...? I didn't find anything online 😅

  • There were kinda three separate things that rolled together, mind you, I'm not especially in the know about any of them, so hopefully others can expand

    1. the auctioned something that was supposed to be a small company's prototype water block or something, it wasn't theirs to sell
    2. they started making too many errors in their rush to do large scale testing and when people make decisions based on the incorrect info you're putting out thats not great
    3. there was an employee who used to work at LTT after being a fan who they built a PC for (maddison, I think?). When the other two items above were brought up by gamer's nexus and it turned into a whole situation where people were being critical of LTT, she shared that she had an absolutely horrible experience working there, crazy crunch time, I think there was sexual harassment or something, I don't recall all the details. She explained she didn't share it sooner because she expected people would just turn on her for criticizing LTT and it makes sense she would feel more able to share if people seem like they might be more receptive to criticism of a huge channel like that

    The first two that were brought up in an bombshell gamer's nexus video were, imo, handled very poorly (EDIT: I should clarify, I meant the initial first reseponse), though again, I don't remember details (about the very first response I think I remember not being great, or otherwise 😅)

    The last item I'm honestly not sure how it panned out but my impression is that nothing really happened with it. LTT was gonna transfer CEO to being a new guy with Linus being more of a face and direction guy, and the new CEO guy I think was the one who had an outside investigation of some kind conducted. I don't think there was ever an update about that investigation? I dunno. I didn't watch much before the whole situation and just kinda stopped watching when the initial criticism from gamer's nexus was poorly handled

  • As more of an art and design person than a technical one, yeah almost undoubtedly, though I can't think of specific examples

    But I really appreciate the work that goes into a beautiful logo, typography, or UI, and that will often sway me, probably more than it should

    Void's beautiful logo/logotype is what originally got me interested in it as a distro, and the only reason I'm not using it now is cause I'm a dummy and minimal distros require I use my brain a lot more than I've thus far been willing to get my computer up and going

  • Wouldn't the security risk be that if someone thinks the old user is still using that email address, or forgets, they may mistakenly send sensitive into to the person who now has the address...?

    Am I missing something?

    What...?

  • Aldi and harbor freight are both good options. Aldi makes no political campaign donations, and harbor freight doesn't make any as a company, but their senior employees apparently have only donated to democrats.

    If you wanna check somewhere the Goods Unite Us app or website are very helpful

    !goodsuniteus@lemmy.ca used to be pretty active but it pretty much entirely died down

    If anyone else knows companies with a good track record throw them in the thread :)

  • This looks fantastic! will it possible to use purely locally as just an android app in the future?

    I think for a lot of folks it might be nice to have the option to just eschew self hosting for synchronization and just use local storage, and then have a route to expanding and adding muti device ability should they go set up a server ☺️

  • Lmao, yeah I'm sure the for profit companies with no actual monetization model will be very "thoughtful and disciplined"

  • Suse requested they change names...?

  • Any chance you could give a simple explainer on how to set up a !! abbreviation in fish?

    I'm a fairly non-technical fish user and every time I've tried to figure out how to do it I've ended up giving up 😅

    If you don't know off the top of your head thats fine, but it seemed worth an ask ☺️

  • Thats a shame to hear. Is jitsi better?

  • Personally I like them when they work well enough for my needs

    I don't mind the space issues, but sometimes they still have odd quirks. They keep getting better though :)

    But I don't have any issues with native packages so I often choose them when available. Lots of the time I don't really pay attention and just grab whatever's in the software store and use that until I have a problem lol
