I can’t believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he’s onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

    back-to-back lying to the public

    What?

    sexual harassment debacles

    … that none of which ended up in the court let alone confirmed. That’s an allegation, not something proven.

    They’ve been sleazy for years, taking money from companies they claim to review impartially, and twisting everything into a meme factory instead of putting the tiniest amount of effort into quality reviews and tech journalism.

    Straight up one of the points GN made. Which they really did improve upon. They don’t pump out as much content now, as well as generally higher quality content again.

    salvage his reputation after covering up toxic and predatory workplace behaviour

    :D

    coming out the other side a multimillionaire.

    Guy created and ran a YouTube channel, expanded it to be a media company. Hosts a forum, sells high quality merchandise (you can look up the coverage of their bag or screwdrivers from places like project farm). Also runs a premium video hosting and live streaming service for creators. That’s what we call “earned it.”

    This comment just reeks of toxicity, rather than criticism.
