One of the key differences between traditional social media and the Fediverse is the existence of multiple communities that share the same topic. You should have a choice when it comes to your community preferences so I wanted to create a list of other LTT/LMG communities on the Fediverse to help us all grow.

If you’re aware of a community I’ve missed, please comment them below and I’ll update the post body.

The MCM arch holds the grinder handle in place which keeps it from flopping around, and keeps the grinder in the caddy. It's a really clean and easy solution for this unique problem.

I talk more about the caddy in this video if you're interested - Timestamped Link

On Friday a video will be out where I talk more about the final version (shown in the video attached to this post), but the function is quite similar, just with the correct measurements because measuring is hard...

I would be happy to share the STL, but I haven't yet as I figure not too many folks have the exact same aeropress setup as I do with the scale and grinder, and I'm lazy (but honest at least!)

Here's the entire thing if you don't want to go to that link:

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.

It's been 8 months since a investigation was called to look into the allegations. Is there anything published? Do we have any estimate to when it'll be published?

Additionally, remember that you have been doing PC building and video content for a long time. You are great at segwaying to your sponsor and you like to promote your online store called LTTstore.com. The LTT store sells clothing and deskmats but does not sell any actual hardware for PC building.

If someone mentions Ad block remember that your income comes from Youtube so they should turn off there ad block of they want to support you.

The best LTT video i have seen in a while; It has everything

  • New and emerging experimental tech
  • Showing off progress in opensource standards
  • Nice Eli5 on what this is, why is it important, who are the stakeholders and what this means for the future
  • Linux
  • classic ltt humor and jank(they got euro truck simulator working on RISC-V running linux FFS)
  • all nicely polished and presented.

Unfortunately by the time it took to get this video out the algorithm had already penalized them for missing their regular upload schedule as evidenced by such a low view count;

its a shame i really like their content(especially the newer videos which have a good coat of polish)

but it seems like they will either have to go back to their rapid upload schedule or come up with a new format that is commercially profitable and critically satisfactory.

It's been 3 months, I delayed making any rash decision to cancel my floatplane subscription until the dust settled, but I also don't want to wait forever...

Is it me or the RSS feed to GameLinked is broken, I know with anchor acquisition things have not been smooth sailing.

But TechLinked is working for me at least.

If they did published things to apple podcasts I could find an work around to listen to it in AthenaPod otherwise I will have to stick to YouTube.

Would a YouTube video bot like the one on r/linustechtips be useful here? I’d love to have a go at building one and thought this would be a great place to start.

Could even be some other bot to help bring more content here/drive more traffic

Hi, I read that gamelinked exists on spotify, and was wondering if there's any information available on when (and if) it is going to come to Apple podcasts.
