@briongloid I do have the opinion that people and companies can change to their better. At least it seems as if they are taking this seriously. I tend to give them a chance. But also I hope that the community will watch this closely and will come back to them, if they don't do it right.
People have a hard time changing, but sure, it is possible.
Companies however, are multi-people structures built upon a starting ideology, and with each additional layer, as the company grows, the same ideology gets exponentially fixed in place.
Companies change by closing.
Okay, but do we want them to?
Do we need an extra bloated tech channel that can't be run without creating a massive corporation with an internal culture built around bullying, harassment, and deception?
Why give people who behave that way the opportunity to continue to do so? Why make them rich?
Linus doesn't have the market cornered on anything, not even sad boy self-protective 'apologies'. So what do we need him for? Personally, I'm done. I don't need anything from him or his company.
