I can see your point. But I'm the end Linus is still saying he's not going to answer to anyone publicly including his audience, he can do better. The rest of the statement is awful as well.

Linus is so wrong here.

"I expressed my disappointment that he didn’t go through proper journalistic practices in creating this piece. He has my email and number (along with numerous other members of our team) and could have asked me for context that may have proven to be valuable"

It's exactly the opposite, by not giving Linus a preview of the material, and allowing him input on it. Steve has secured the journalistic integrity of the content.

Linus had a chance to address the content publicly and is opting not to do it.

"Most of what I have to say, I’ve already said, and I’ve done so privately."

He clearly thinks we are not worth keeping informed so I'm going to be unsubscribing and no longer consuming any LTT content.

Overall this response sucks. No accountability, plenty of deflection and missing the point. Vague talk of being more accurate in the future, so I'm supposed to just wait and consume inaccurate content in the mean time? No thanks.

Notice what?

They will sleep just fine in their mansions tonight.

Exclusive broadcast rights will cease to be a thing when consumers stop participating and watching these broadcasts, but most are unwilling to cease consuming the content long enough to have an impact on the bottom line which is the only thing they care about.

Of course they would, that's the point of the company! Companies don't align with our needs as humans. Ideally we'd have more free time due to advancements and automation, but our corporate overlords think we should just work more actually. And old people who got theirs don't think anyone should have it easy since they didn't.

What? Too good for beans?

Also I have enjoyed the nostalgia to be honest haha.

My favorite part: the Times reported that after a 2004 investigation by The Los Angeles Times came out about his disclosures, he largely stopped disclosing them.

I wish I had the choice in my life to give so FEW fucks that I could be that brazenly corrupt.

Against better counsel huh? You know apple is the sole reason your group chats can't work without a third party app yeah?

Whoa that's crazy, do you happen to have some kind of evidence of this claim!?

It feels like the will of the majority of US citizens is getting lost. The supreme court should be following legal precedent and if an issue can't be solved that way or would be better suited for a vote then, a popular vote should decide major issues facing us, the citizens.

Wonder if phone manufacturers will fragment their offerings to satisfy EU requirements or if we'll all end up with removable batteries.
