Core breach would be a flashing CEL.

I'm lucky to have a friend group who all get together semi-frequently on Discord to try out any new games we've found and enjoy. We all have pretty similar tastes in games, sometimes a few of us will be playing something others might not enjoy and vice versa, but in those instances we'll still hang out and chat but just play our separate games instead.

I would agree that one roadblock is that we all have less time now as adults with careers (and other responsibilities) than we did when we were students, but we do our best to make time all the same.

In terms of public multiplayer with randoms - not for me, tbh.

It's Test Kitchen stuff all over again.

Man, I'd almost forgotten about that. What a shitshow. At least a few of the creators seem to be doing OK with their individual channels now.

The instance they posted from might be a hint!

Well, this is pretty fucking horrific if true.

Setting aside the factual accuracy of LTT content (which is a separate discussion entirely), the main thing that they did well and that I generally enjoyed was their brand of jank content - like building impractical virtualized gaming setups, stupid water cooling projects, stuff like that.

If even a handful of these accusations hold water then I would no longer be able to enjoy that content knowing what took place behind the scenes in the process of creating it.

If all of them turn out to be true...I am neither Canadian nor a lawyer but it sounds like charges could be brought. In that case I don't see any way that trust in LTT/LMG could be rebuilt outside of some major team members stepping down.

India is on a separate tectonic plate to the rest of Europe / Asia.

IMO, if you're looking at continents purely from a geographic/geologic frame of mind, dividing them up based on what plate they are on makes the most sense. But, that would not take into account cultural/political/legal boundaries, all of which are probably more important day-to-day.

From his response:

To Steve, I expressed my disappointment that he didn't go through proper journalistic practices in creating this piece

I'd be interested to hear what Linus considers to be proper journalistic practice in that case.

The rest of his response goes some way to addressing a few of the concerns raised, but I feel this is going to turn into another "Trust me Bro" debacle (i.e. he cannot seem to take criticism on the chin, no matter how valid or invalid it may be).

From the article:

the Russians consider Eurasia a single continent

Yeah, I just finished watching it. I stand corrected - first impressions aside, Steve raises some important concerns.

I'm also impressed that he voluntarily de-monetized his own video, it goes a long way to highlighting the principles behind it. Not many content creators literally put their money where their mouth is like that.

I will be interested to see how LMG responds to this.

Cool, in that case I'll find some time to sit down and listen to his viewpoint.

I've always merged. Rebase simplifies the history graph, but realistically I can't think of a time where that has been important to me, or any of the teams I've worked with.

Maybe on some projects with a huge number of concurrent branches it becomes more important, probably less so for smaller teams.
