This is why I hate when they called Tesla's software updates recalls. It diminishes the actual recalls they have to do

In the same breath, I believe Ford owns the rights to GT which could make variants hard

I appreciate the apology, things get a bit heated online, I completely understand. Your picture is quite stunning, and I'm saving up for a camera so I can hope to take pictures like it and not rely on my Pixel.

My original look was on hotel wifi and I was unable to load the extensive detail in the image to see just how many stars there truly are visible. ~~If you don't have one already, a star tracker can help get rid of the smear from the earth's rotation, and let you get some longer exposures. I played around with one my roommate bought me for Christmas, but it doesn't make too much of a difference with phone photography.~~ Was looking through your other images and saw you mentioned one :P

Best of luck man, keep taking awesome pictures

I didn't intend to offend or insult your work, I've usually been able to look at the colors of the image and tell it's a pixel and verify in the comments, but I was wrong in this case.

This is a picture from my pixel 6. The picture you linked for your pixel 6 doesn't look like you have astrophotography mode on (Night sight does a significantly shorter exposure compared to astrophotography)

I said it looked like it came from a pixel camera because it has that signature hue that I normally see taken with pixels

Not OP, but I'd put money that this was taken on a Google Pixel

Had to do a demo the other day and looked like a fool because I couldn't screen share on Wayland

That's how I'm reading it at least

I believe the "non-commercial use only" is regarding the subtitles themselves, not the code. Im sure any commercial use using stolen subtitles from other services wouldn't go over well

Linus never said he hates unions, he said he'd feel that he failed as the owner if his employees felt so underrepresented that they needed a union.

He has historically expressed support of unions in other companies and hasn't been against one in his own, he just doesn't want his company to need one.

In regards to the misconduct...

And the actual contents of the post:

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest employment and labour law firms in Western Canada.” They work with both private and public sector employers.

To ensure a fair investigation, LMG did not comment or publicly release any data and asked our team members to do the same. Now that the investigation is complete, we’re able to provide a summary of the findings.

The investigation found that:

  • Claims of bullying and harassment were not substantiated.

  • Allegations that sexual harassment were ignored or not addressed were false.

  • Any concerns that were raised were investigated. Furthermore, from reviewing our history, the investigator is confident that if any other concerns had been raised, we would have investigated them.

  • There was no evidence of “abuse of power” or retaliation. The individual involved may not have agreed with our decisions or performance feedback, but our actions were for legitimate work-related purposes, and our business reasons were valid.

  • Allegations of process errors and miscommunication while onboarding this individual were partially substantiated, but the investigator found ample documentary evidence of LMG working to rectify the errors and the individual being treated generously and respectfully. When they had questions, they were responded to and addressed.

In summary, as confirmed by the investigation, the allegations made against the team were largely unfounded, misleading, and unfair.

With all of that said, in the spirit of ongoing improvement, the investigator shared their general recommendation that fast-growing workplaces should invest in continuing professional development. The investigator encouraged us to provide further training to our team about how to raise concerns to reinforce our existing workplace policies.

Prior to receiving this report, LMG solicited anonymous feedback from the team in an effort to ensure there was no unreported bullying and harassment and hosted a training session which reiterated our workplace policies and reinforced our reporting structure. LMG will continue to assess ongoing continuing education for our team.

At this time, we feel our case for a defamation suit would be very strong; however, our deepest wish is to simply put all of this behind us. We hope that will be the case, given the investigator’s clear findings that the allegations made online were misrepresentations of what actually occurred. We will continue to assess if there is persistent reputational damage or further defamation.

This doesn’t mean our company is perfect and our journey is over. We are continuously learning and trying to do better. Thank you all for being part of our community.
