Linus has already put out a response and it's not great either. There's some points of contrition, that it was done on his watch so ultimately he's reasonable, but overall he justifies their actions as a company coming into it's stride and being transparent with their mistakes (instead of them just rushing out content without proper vetting)
It's not a great look, but it's one I've come to expect from him given how he's handled previous community backlash with the backpack, screwdriver and other scenarios.
If you don't mind me asking, where was the response posted? I haven't seen anything on official channels/social media about a LTT response
He posted on the LTT forums, which seem to be down atm.
EDIT: Someone on Reddit posted a screenshot: https://i.redd.it/dh24b8ss85ib1.jpg
