Decided to check back on things after a coming across a comment saying a month had already gone by. Completely unsurprisingly everything was swept under the rug. The promise to “release findings” seems now nothing but a tactic to shut up anyone calling them out and now they just act like nothing happened....
Luis Chamberlain sent out the modules changes today for the Linux 6.6 merge window. Most notable with the modules update is a change that better builds up the defenses against NVIDIA’s proprietary kernel driver from using GPL-only symbols.

One party versions are always .... tricky. If this was the case then people that support her need to step up and talk. It is hard to belive a company with such ethics also had good enough enviroment for a colleague to transition and publicly anounce it to the world. Something is off...
I am not defending LTT. They are innthe wrong.
But they sent a unfinished product to one of the most influencial tech youtubers, say that a couple of times and you realize it was naive.
There is many people working on prototypes right now that we do not know off. Because they are prototypes, not products. They played and got burnt. Again, LTT did wrong with them still.
It is the slow boiling frog story. Linus would have called out himself some years ago for this, but now he does not have time for that. They have to pump content to keep it rolling and get more equipment; they cannot stop now. They could not see this as an issue because they have slowly transitioned to this, but they are now locked into this rhythm. Hopefully, they can pivot out of this, and hopefully, they hiring of a new CEO was special because they already saw this problem.
That said gives such a confidence on their promises that they have to add this statement at the end

Do you remember that football daddy bought to play with friends? Yea it was a nice ball right? Do you remember how everybody signed it during the years and it became a more valued ball because of that? Well the neighbours kid also wants a ball like that, but that fuking siko is getting none because the idea was from daddy and daddy does not want you or anybody to play with it and now daddy wants money if you even have the audacity to think about writing on a football.
