Well, this is pretty fucking horrific if true.

Setting aside the factual accuracy of LTT content (which is a separate discussion entirely), the main thing that they did well and that I generally enjoyed was their brand of jank content - like building impractical virtualized gaming setups, stupid water cooling projects, stuff like that.

If even a handful of these accusations hold water then I would no longer be able to enjoy that content knowing what took place behind the scenes in the process of creating it.

If all of them turn out to be true...I am neither Canadian nor a lawyer but it sounds like charges could be brought. In that case I don't see any way that trust in LTT/LMG could be rebuilt outside of some major team members stepping down.

Yeah, I just finished watching it. I stand corrected - first impressions aside, Steve raises some important concerns.

I'm also impressed that he voluntarily de-monetized his own video, it goes a long way to highlighting the principles behind it. Not many content creators literally put their money where their mouth is like that.

I will be interested to see how LMG responds to this.

It's been pretty good. I have noticed the default sort order ('Active') results in the feed getting stale pretty quickly. Changing the default to 'New' has been a better experience so far, at least at the current level of activity.

I have had a few issues subscribing to communities on remote instances (i.e. not showing up in search, or showing up but with an empty feed when content definitely exists when I check the web UI) - this does not appear to be an SFW/NSFW issue, and some communities from the same remote instances appear correctly.

Hard to tell if this is an instance/protocol issue, or an app issue.

Sounds like the dev was unsatisfied with the low sponsorship numbers on his project, which when you consider how many devs only ever interact with Moq via the package manager or command line might be a fair complaint...but the decision to just start harvesting user data like a lowlife as an alternative source of income is some galaxy brain shit.

It's not like this would even be sustainable. What did he think was going to happen, devs would just blindly accept a new shady looking package appearing in their dependency stack with no further investigation?

As a result of this stupidity Moq will now be on the shit-list of every corporation using .NET, especially those based in Europe due to GDPR implications.

And what if you need to unplug something quickly?

Cool, in that case I'll find some time to sit down and listen to his viewpoint.

We all need some floor time now and then.

It's Test Kitchen stuff all over again.

Man, I'd almost forgotten about that. What a shitshow. At least a few of the creators seem to be doing OK with their individual channels now.

It should be in the profile menu on the top left. Perhaps LJ is rolling it out selectively.

I bought it last night and it was half the price in OP's screenshot. Either it has gone up, or again perhaps there is some A/B testing going on at different price points.

From the article:

the Russians consider Eurasia a single continent

From his response:

To Steve, I expressed my disappointment that he didn't go through proper journalistic practices in creating this piece

I'd be interested to hear what Linus considers to be proper journalistic practice in that case.

The rest of his response goes some way to addressing a few of the concerns raised, but I feel this is going to turn into another "Trust me Bro" debacle (i.e. he cannot seem to take criticism on the chin, no matter how valid or invalid it may be).

I've always merged. Rebase simplifies the history graph, but realistically I can't think of a time where that has been important to me, or any of the teams I've worked with.

Maybe on some projects with a huge number of concurrent branches it becomes more important, probably less so for smaller teams.

You must binge all 15 seasons. You have one week. Your time starts now.

The instance they posted from might be a hint!

Core breach would be a flashing CEL.

India is on a separate tectonic plate to the rest of Europe / Asia.

IMO, if you're looking at continents purely from a geographic/geologic frame of mind, dividing them up based on what plate they are on makes the most sense. But, that would not take into account cultural/political/legal boundaries, all of which are probably more important day-to-day.

There is, at least on the version I'm running (beta 26). It should be present in the profile menu on the top left.

I feel like whatever point Steve is trying to make here could have been a community post or even a short rather than what looks like a 45 minute hit piece on his competitor.

This appears (from the thumbnail and first few minutes of content) to be drama for the sake of drama. If anyone can summarise to the contrary, please do.
