I know Linus was pushing back REAL hard on getting a fact checker. And it would’ve likely prevented this situation entirely.
Edit: Other than the pushing of merch… Sigh… This is a pretty good PR mea culpa. At least from the rest of the team. I guess I should finish it. Pretty textbook. “We screwed up, here’s how we’re fixing it.”
Edit 2: Nevermind. I got to the part with Linus. FFS.
Steam. I need higher Linux compatibility.
Nope. You call them up and go, “This is happening and we’re running a story. Care to comment?” You should even have a list of questions to ask if they agree. They can give you bullshit answers if they want, then you point those out and add that to the story. It doesn’t have to affect the story. Facts are facts, and they can try to explain it away, but can’t. You’re still holding them accountable. You’re just also giving them a chance to apologize or own up to it. And if they dont’ comment, you include that.
Steve and crew are amazing tech journalists. They’re doing great work. But that’s a miss in this whole thing.
I agree with Steve on everything, this was a huge blunder and fail in messaging from Linus. But you are supposed to reach out and ask for comment before running a story. I was a news reporter and have a master’s in public relations.
Edit: Called Linus “Linux”
As always, MegaMek is a great resource for this stuff. I sort by year, and then by vehicles. See if there’s any names you recognize, like the Manticore or Savannah Master. I sort down to up, then go as close to 3025 as I can. That stuff is Succession Wars stuff, and the standard versions all seem to be great starting points.
Freaking good. I wasn’t buying this due to their previous stance. I’ll watch for a while, but I’d feel a lot better about it.
Additional community distros not mentioned: OpenMandriva, PCLinuxOS, Mageia, NixOS.
Well, the important thing is we can still violently overthrow society when we don’t get our way. /s
