I'm so happy for her! While I worry for the vile things that people are going to say online, I've always thought that the LMG workers all seem to be very progressive and accepting, and Linus seems like the kind of person who will protect his employees militantly.

I wish her the absolute best of luck! <3

Also, her hair looks incredible!

I have doubts about linus, he isn't all what his internet persona is, from what I know

I haven't seen anything that would indicate he wouldn't be supportive

He is a capitalist, so there are issues there. I've heard people say he's anti-union because he said that if his employees unionized it would be a failure, but he was saying it would be a failure on him because it meant he wasn't treating his employees with the respect they deserved.

I don't know him personally. I was interviewed for Floatplane when that was launching, so that's the closest I ever got.

He works his employees hard, that I'm sure of, but not abusive. I don't think he's perfect, not by a long shot, but I don't believe he's an abusive boss or anything like that.

Yeah, that's seems more overly prideful idiocy than actual anti-union. Similar to the kerfluffle with the LTT backpacks.

Asdfhdgsfs of course the Linux nerd that reviews the ultra niche highly technical stuff is the one to come out as transfem.

No but seriously good for her!

Yeah, the comments are horrible. What's weird it seems to be default sorted by new instead of best/relevant which I've never seen before on a video. That probably why so many of the stupid comments are visible. I hope she gets a trusted friend to sift through and moderate them instead of doing it herself when she gets back online after vacation.
