Sexual assault allegations not being a big deal to you is already a huge yikes. But you’re also blatantly ignoring all of the other issues over the years:
- Stealing and auctioning prototype hardware from startups
- Underpaying employees and turning their termination details into content
- Making his employees renovate his mansion
- Buying a private jet for private family use (already bad) and then trying to pass it off as a business expense
- Repeatedly claiming Linux is garbage because he’s actually too dumb (or paid off) to follow basic instructions as a “tech expert” despite his basement gremlin assistant figuring it out fine
- Been shown with hard facts to regularly misrepresent products and their specs due to poor reviewing and testing standards by actual professionals in the space (and claims its too expensive to do so anyways. Remember that jet?)
- In response to all of this has acted like a whiny toddler caught at the cookie jar and cries that everyone else is worse (source needed). As far as I understand it, the podcast nowadays is essentially Linus claiming he’s a tech God among plebs while previously mentioned basement gremlin cackles and calls him a good master
There’s an infamous video of a cop who tickets an amputee for holding a cellphone in her non existent hand. He triples down in the video that she had the phone specifically in her missing hand WHILE she is holding up the stump and laughing at him. She of course disputed it, agency stupidly stood by their braindead officer until it got to court when suddenly the cop begged for the entire thing to be dropped, after proceedings had started, wasting everyone’s time and taxpayer dollars.
They are so used to never being questioned, and having zero consequences when they are because of qualified immunity, that their brains are incapable of processing that they are fucking up something incredibly simple.
