A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That seems like a pretty large jump just because of what they already said was a miscommunication and are taking steps to work on (though it shouldn't have happened) I don't really see what malicious motivations there could be behind auctioning it off cuz they aren't that desperate for an amount of money that doesn't really matter to them (see the size of the investments in things like the badminton center and the labs, also I think the money might've gone to charity) What you say about corporations is true, however I think you can grow to trust people in those corporations and yes, I don't acutally know Linus but he's shown that he usually tries to do the right thing so I don't think he's going to randomly flip into going against what he's claimed are his morals for years. Also, there are most likely other people at LMG in leadership who, if Linus did become some sort of terrible person, would probably try and stop him, even if just for job security
