Yes, I read it. Outside reputable company found no wrong doing. LTT released a statement. By mentioning the lawsuit, they also shut down speculation that they have a weak position.

OP of that post projects their own horrible experience onto LTT. They add nothing at all to the situation, they don't offer any new proof whatsoever. Fuck that tbh. I feel sorry for their personal experience, but this has nothing to do with whole Madison story.

When the Madison story came out, I unsubbed from LTT. Always believe the victim. But then more and more info came out that cast quite some doubt on the veracity of the whole story.

Now it sounds more like an employee that had an (maybe very much so for them) unpleasant experience at a company and lashed out. Turns out the work company wasn't as bad as she made it out to look. Shit happens.

You did see the report they released right? Outside consultant coming to the conclusion no egregious things happened? I'd give them the benefit of the doubt at this point tbh.

I'll never understand the people that have their photo archive linked to a chat app.

Where I live, line is the de facto standard. Soooo many people don't use any backup and just count on line to manage their pictures. Some dude went viral for losing 10years worth of family pictures when he went from iPhone to android. Line is a shit all that doesn't do any migration past 14days when changing os.

Just use Google photos and never think about it again? Or use self hosted stuff if you don't like the cloud. But for the love of God, don't count on the chat app...

Get a cheap new phone number? Your potential employer will find out your identity eventually when you start working there no? What's the issue with having to use ID to get a new line? You put a fake name on your resume?

There's things like taking privacy too far you know :)

Been using it for close to 10 years. Never had a single serious issue with it. Apps break now and then. A simple reboot of the server or the app fixes it every single time.

A lot of public torrents download and seed at insane speeds. Like "must be in the same building or even the same disk" speeds.

Replying from Ubuntu (distro of the month for me) though, so I know other. I wouldn't say better, just different

Windows is perfectly fine for day to day use. 80% of my PC use (and probably 99% for like most people I know) is in a browser. The remaining 20% is in video games. My browser works 100% the same in Linux as it does in Windows. Video games overall are easier to use in Windows. (I use Steam (90% fine with Linux) and Gamepass, which does not play well with Linux).

But feel free to continue to complain about windows :)

I love how the lemmy FoSS Linux hivemind still down votes you to almost oblivion.

They still haven't figured out this isn't reddit. Shouldn't downvote just because you don't agree with something my dudes...

Haven't seen a queue in ages tbh. Weak argument, not to mention that it doesn't make any sense whatsoever

Pay 2 win? Where? Genuine question. Played it for 40h after launch, never once felt like paying money?

Not refusing, but lately I basically don't pirate games anymore. Steam made it so easy to buy games... + pirating games is always a pita with the required hacks etc. (or at least it was way back when I did it).

Software I don't pirate, I just use foss stuff wherever I can.

I also don't pirate books in general. Just get them on Kindle and support the author (and unfortunately also Jeff bezos)

I pay for Netflix (mainly for kids) and go to the theater for big movies, but aside from that I pirate all screen content.

I also pirate comics, but that's 90% because it's almost impossible to get them legally where I live. I would pay for DC unlimited if it was available in my neck of the woods.
