That's how I'm reading it at least

I believe the "non-commercial use only" is regarding the subtitles themselves, not the code. Im sure any commercial use using stolen subtitles from other services wouldn't go over well

Linus never said he hates unions, he said he'd feel that he failed as the owner if his employees felt so underrepresented that they needed a union.

He has historically expressed support of unions in other companies and hasn't been against one in his own, he just doesn't want his company to need one.

In regards to the misconduct...

And the actual contents of the post:

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest employment and labour law firms in Western Canada.” They work with both private and public sector employers.

To ensure a fair investigation, LMG did not comment or publicly release any data and asked our team members to do the same. Now that the investigation is complete, we’re able to provide a summary of the findings.

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.

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

With all of that said, in the spirit of ongoing improvement, the investigator shared their general recommendation that fast-growing workplaces should invest in continuing professional development. The investigator encouraged us to provide further training to our team about how to raise concerns to reinforce our existing workplace policies.

Prior to receiving this report, LMG solicited anonymous feedback from the team in an effort to ensure there was no unreported bullying and harassment and hosted a training session which reiterated our workplace policies and reinforced our reporting structure. LMG will continue to assess ongoing continuing education for our team.

At this time, we feel our case for a defamation suit would be very strong; however, our deepest wish is to simply put all of this behind us. We hope that will be the case, given the investigator’s clear findings that the allegations made online were misrepresentations of what actually occurred. We will continue to assess if there is persistent reputational damage or further defamation.

This doesn’t mean our company is perfect and our journey is over. We are continuously learning and trying to do better. Thank you all for being part of our community.

Ironically, I have to root every time I install a ROM just to bypass the detections 🤦‍♂️

I still can't do half the stuff in the windows settings app that I could in the control panel, and every update removes an option in control panel without an adequate replacement.

Inb4 "use Linux" I DO but Nvidia and Wayland is still BORKED (even with v555) and when I'm done with work I just want to load up a game and not have to fuck with drivers and never actually play. Sue me.

My professor made me install TeamViewer to our lab computers despite strong pushback from me, and perfectly functioning ssh access through the campus VPN. I can't wait to send this to him.

I have and use a Microsoft account. I would always setup my computer offline because I don't want my home folder to be called "myema"~~[email protected]~~

Seriously who thought that was a good idea? Your account literally has your name tied to it, call it that!

Even Google products have a longer lifespan 😖

I've since moved on to Tidal. Bought it at $30 when root mods started to be developed, but never really went anywhere.

As a Thinkpad user since the early 2000s, I'm extremely excited to see this news after I've slowly watched all of my repair & upgrade ability be removed.

Not sure if you're referring to telegram or signal. If you're referring to signal:

Is it private? Can I trust it? - Signal Support

Signal conversations are always end-to-end encrypted, which means that they can only be read or heard by your intended recipients. Privacy isn’t an optional mode — it’s just the way that Signal works. Every message, every call, every time.

The complete source code for the Signal clients and the Signal server is available on GitHub. This enables interested parties to examine the code for security and correctness.

Boomerang was an old feature on Instagram where it would just take a video and then loop it backwards when it reached the end. It was a really stupid phenomenon that nobody really used, hence the reason the got rid of it.
