    Fair. „Dreißig“ is quite an outlier.
    But wouldn’t it be boring, if the rules didn’t have exceptions?
    But also, the way our constant writing reforms are going, I wouldn’t be too surprised, if, at some point, „dreizig“ becomes the correct spelling. In some dialects, it’s already spoken more as a ‘z’ than a ‘ß’.
    Then again, I’m still mad at how they massacred the spelling of reflection.

    LMG claims that an investigation by a third party found the allegations of toxic work conditions and sexual misconduct as „unfounded and unfair“. It’s of course anyone’s guess what the reality looks like.
    They definitely have improved their reviews and seem much less error prone these days.

    That union thing is bullshit tho. Linus never claimed he would refuse to let his workers unionise (in fact, iirc, he couldn’t even legally do so in Canada), he just (repeatedly) stated, that he’d see it as a failure on his and his company’s side, if his employees felt the need to unionise in the first place. That’s a big difference.

    Can’t say anything to that part as I do not remember it. But I personally believe it to be a non-issue until there’s precedent. Politically, Linus generally seems to be fairly sane. He’s openly a huge fan of Lina Khan, for example and has openly critcised the current US-administration a number of times.

    They did acknowledge #1 and #2 as mistakes, miscommunication and growing pains and vowed to do better. I think it was a bit overblown and handled in bad faith by GN‘s reporting. Not that that’s an excuse but imo they did their best to rectify that situation. The reporting has been more accurate and bo other scandal of this type has happened, so far. The investigation about the working conditions and sexual harassment concluded those allegations were „unfounded and unfair“, to use LMG’s words. They did not get into details and it is a he-said/she-said situation. It’s anyone’s guess what/whom to believe.
    I think, all in all, Linus stepping back from the CEO position (which, to be clear, he did a little while before those problems came to light) improved upon most, if not all of the problems, as far as I can tell. I do still watch LTT on occasion but less so. Primarily though, because both, my interests changed as did their content.

    Apple is actually a much better choice than Spotify. My numbers are a few years old but iirc, Apple pays artists almost twice as much as Spotify. Only Amazon has a worse artist payout than Spotify. Of course, Tidal and Qobuz are still much better than Apple but they also have the limitations you’ve mentioned. Oh and Apple and the others don’t fill out playlists with AI generated music so they themselves can get the payout for the plays. You know, like Spotify does. Realistically, even YouTube Music is more ethical than Spotify these days and that’s saying something.

    I think you’re conflating two very different cognitive processes. Aphantasia is very specifically the inability to visualise Images. Maybe, in a broader sense the inability to visualize (specific) senses in general. Lack of an inner-self and the resulting inability to self-reflect might be a thing but it sure is a very different phenomenon from aphantasia. Your inner self isn’t a physical sensation that you’re trying to visualise a memory of. And even anendophasia, the lack of an inner monologue, which is closer to what you’re describing than aphantasia, although still not quite it, does not seem influence self-reflection capabilities.
