Time for a username changeup! From now on I'll be going by mattordev everywhere I can online. To add to this, I'm working on my site and also will be creating a placeholder twitter account to point anybody who finds an old mention/tweet to the new handle.

A video is currently going around of a man beating up 5 women who tried to jump his wife. Most of the women are sharing it and saying he should go to prison because men should never step in to a girls fight. Men, if 5 women jumped your wife would you jump in?

Congrats to @LinusTech on the Commuter Backpack launch! Looks great. What an amazing product. We were in the process of trashing ours, then realized it could be used to farm engagement instead. RT to win a free Commuter Backpack, shipped anywhere in the world. We'll pick one winner in 24 hours.

Hey! Been a while (again) since my last post! I've joined that other place, and will *probably* try and be a bit more active over there than here, although, I'm not sure yet! Drop me a follow :> Regardless of which I use more, more outreach is never bad, right? :)

@JakeLandauTO @EmilyAYoung1 Think that line of thinking is a little broken, a legal firm has a reputation to uphold. It's what drives clients. Bias would destroy that and could cost them thier license too.

@EmilyAYoung1 I think it's misleading to call it a third-party investigation when LMG is the sole entity who paid them. There's an obvious slant in incentives for the law firm, between the party paying the investigators and the party not paying them.

I know it shouldn't have to be said, but... *Please* don't dogpile or harass anyone involved here. It's okay to have an opinion, but making it messier really doesn't help, and we're talking about actual people and extremely sensitive subject matter.
Linus Tech Tips@LinusTech

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest employment and labour law firms in Western Canada.” They work with both private and public sector employers. To ensure a fair investigation, LMG did not comment or publicly release any data and asked our team members to do the same. Now that the investigation is complete, we’re able to provide a summary of the findings. The investigation found that: - Claims of bullying and harassment were not substantiated. - Allegations that sexual harassment were ignored or not addressed were false. - Any concerns that were raised were investigated. Furthermore, from reviewing our history, the investigator is confident that if any other concerns had been raised, we would have investigated them. - There was no evidence of “abuse of power” or retaliation. The individual involved may not have agreed with our decisions or performance feedback, but our actions were for legitimate work-related purposes, and our business reasons were valid. - Allegations of process errors and miscommunication while onboarding this individual were partially substantiated, but the investigator found ample documentary evidence of LMG working to rectify the errors and the individual being treated generously and respectfully. When they had questions, they were responded to and addressed. In summary, as confirmed by the investigation, the allegations made against the team were largely unfounded, misleading, and unfair. With all of that said, in the spirit of ongoing improvement, the investigator shared their general recommendation that fast-growing workplaces should invest in continuing professional development. The investigator encouraged us to provide further training to our team about how to raise concerns to reinforce our existing workplace policies. Prior to receiving this report, LMG solicited anonymous feedback from the team in an effort to ensure there was no unreported bullying and harassment and hosted a training session which reiterated our workplace policies and reinforced our reporting structure. LMG will continue to assess ongoing continuing education for our team. At this time, we feel our case for a defamation suit would be very strong; however, our deepest wish is to simply put all of this behind us. We hope that will be the case, given the investigator’s clear findings that the allegations made online were misrepresentations of what actually occurred. We will continue to assess if there is persistent reputational damage or further defamation. This doesn’t mean our company is perfect and our journey is over. We are continuously learning and trying to do better. Thank you all for being part of our community.

Got a scary debt collection letter 😭 No idea that as students, we had to pay council tax (for ~1 month) No notice from the council either; they'd sent letters to the address we moved out of in June 2023 Luckily, both my mum's work debt solutions and know the drill 😭😂

@LifeArtStudios I think if this model was made for a VR game, then it would be wasteful. But it's like comparing movie level VFX to games VFX and calling one wasteful when they're meant for two different purposes? Granted, they state most games but I'd hope it'd be approached differently for VR
