I really doubt this post is by Linus directly. It's been about two days since the brand new CEO and the rest of the c-suite informed Linus that any communication he makes regarding stuff like this has to go through them now.

    Of course he didn’t write it. He lacks the grace and it wreaks of corporate backsludge, which makes it worse that he didn’t take the time himself to a) think about the situation and b) address his base directly (he’s a YouTuber right?).

    Instead we get this PR boilerplate. Literally you can buy these and just fill in the blanks with names and specifics. Moreover, much of it, if you have watched them over the years, are just blatantly false.

    It’s orchestrated better, but still on the level of the reply GM got.

    Also what’s with the third person, who else is there with you calling the shots?

    It was you. You were there and you knew from day one. Lots of allegations were directed at you, specifically. What is happening.

    Of course he didn’t write it.

    Huh?
