It seems like BS eh. Other folks I've seen are suggesting its just because they want to ditch easy anti-cheat to go with EA anti-cheat which (apparently) is windows only with no plans to develop for linux.

PCs are moving towards 32GB now.

Windows PCs.

I'm not going to pretend that more RAM isn't just automagically better, because it is. But 8GB RAM on a 2020 Lenovo Windows build feels and performs much worse than 8GB in a 2020 M1 Macbook Air.

8GB was so unusable in my work* (IT Pro for large corporate) laptop that they eventually agreed that we were "power users" and so could have an upgrade to 16GB RAM. But it still feels a bunch worse than my M1 due to all the additional sludge that gets lumped on top for corp reasons.

*Just to describe what I do, I have browsers open, MS Teams and then spend my day in SSH sessions to linux based servers, so realistically there was nothing "power" user about what I was doing, it was just that our corp Windows build & laptops are that awful. And now we've been 11'd, ugh.

That's not the only way to read that at all. Your interpretation is that sexual harrassment was not ignored & was addressed; but the sentence is actually that allegations were not ignored and were addressed.

Nobody trying to make money on YouTube is going to stop click bait; its a necessary evil to get your videos fed by the algorithm. It sucks, but its here to stay until the algorithm starts punishing it.

I think you're expecting something that is unlikely to happen - there's a bunch of privacy related issues, employment law restrictions etc that potentially mean they will never comment further on it.

Yeah me too; I bought it to replace a 2013 MBP. Its so light, the battery life is rediculous, and its far gruntier than I need for the work I do which is mostly in a shell / nvim etc anyway.

Alternative take - playing up to the YouTube algorithm is what has allowed LMG to expand to the point where it provides jobs for over 100 (is it near 200 now?) people. Those people work hard, yet the majority seem to stay with the company which suggests any alternative employment isn't attractive enough to motivate them to leave their current work conditions.

And LMG would likely be blasted if it wasn't Linus presenting it as well. Damned if you do / don't.

Toxic behaviour should be called out when it happens. That is the time.

When do you think they made the video if not this week?

Face to face means something completely different in 2023 than it did in 2019.

I guess its not just anonymous surveys though is it, its that, plus a low turnover, plus 1-1 feedback sessions and other things I'm probably forgetting. But don't overlook the conclusion where if you read between the lines, more personnel changes are likely as a result of this.

I think your last point is highly unlikely, there is too much light on this for the issues alleged by Madison to be true, and for LMG to do nothing. But the tricky thing is that the full truth about Madison's issues is unlikely to be made public, and equally the full action taken by LMG will not be made public. HR, and employment issues kinda require privacy - this isn't a government or public department, its a private company with responsibilities to employees past & present mandated by law.
