    I think one of her friends leaked the sexual harassment allegations a while back cause I distinctly remember hearing about it. I think it got quickly swept under the rug win some talk of an NDA. regardless I’m glad it’s in the light now.

      It’s absolutely bonkers how basically every scandal in the tech industry has at least an element of sexual harassment. Really feels like a lot of guys in the industry have problematic feelings towards women (probably because of their experience as nerdy teens), and unleash those when they have power and when they don’t think there’ll be any consequences.

        Im very much ootl and not a techie, but I do remember hearing a long while back about linus getting cancelled, and then strangely that he was uncancelled a month or so later.

        mfw he was 'uncanceled'

        fry

        side note, being drunk and high as I am right now, and as ootl as I am, and not paying attention to where in the lemmyverse I was poooostin, I assumed LTT was some monolithic media corporation until I was like halfway through the screenshots 😬
