I’m not gonna say I know much about his history, but I am surprised so many people are jumping to take his side in this debacle. I would’ve thought in this day and age that people would be a bit more sceptical of CEOs.

Without knowing the real reasons behind it, it’s very difficult to hold an opinion on the board’s decisions

It’s how people have been talking for, like, 20 years now at least

Yeah, that bar isn’t that high really is it. Imagine if they actually kept their word!

I’ve wondered that myself. I don’t have kids but after looking at all the symptoms a lot of them fit, and a couple of friends have told me they “just assumed I was on the spectrum” when I brought it up recently. I had no idea, but I don’t see much use in getting diagnosed now I just turned 40…

I use sync for lemmy, so every time I go on lemmy I see ads. Also when YouTubers have in- video sponsor ads. I skip them but it’s still an inconvenience. Same for podcasts

Seems to me that it took a huge amount of time and resources to reach the new score, and I’m guessing they don’t have the budget to do the same for every model

No it’s “literally” been reduced to $1000.

yeah spending 10 million a day would take 34 years to add up to 124 billion

It’s true they did, and it took me less than a minute to make an account on a new instance. An instance that I know will never block said community, because it’s hosted from here!

what a legend

I mean you still need to pay for your VPN/ Usenet server subscription, but it’s more like $80/ year as opposed to per month

Well put, I agree

I don’t think they’re beyond redemption. My hope is that Linus can take a step back and let the CEO work on improving the workplace culture. No idea if he’s up to the challenge but time will tell
