Joe Ressington's contract with JB/ACG terminated :(

Just learned that Joe Ressington was recently fired from Jupiter Broadcasting/A cloud Guru.

So sad to see the end of some of my favourite linux podcasts, among them Choose Linux, thanks to which I discovered Endeavour :slightly_frowning_face:

Thats painfully. That person was not his friend probably not social also? Depend always which context to be said. Always watch out against who said because just joking become also painfull

Yep, the context matters and I guess in the US the wordā€™s connotation is really bad. I personally think that this is a horrible overreaction on the companyā€™s part on whatever happened there. Itā€™s a real shame to lose good shows because of that. I hope it wonā€™t be a too heavy blow for this talented podcaster and itā€™s only JB who will regret this decision.

i bet , if he make a show by his self he get more then a million subscribersā€¦ he can practical live on that account :slight_smile:

He does have his independent show - Late Night Linux
I think itā€™s tough to make a living out of a podcast though :sweat_smile:

Yes. very sad news. Late Night Linux is still the best Linux podcast IMHO and I look forward to hearing Joe and the LNL team very soon.

Cultural awareness matters.
In Ireland or Australia? Cunt is on the level of fuck, at most. In the US? EXTREMELY bad, apparently.
On the other hand ā€œSpazā€ or ā€œSpasticā€ is just a fun insult in America, but about as taboo in Britain as Cunt is in America because it is an actual medical condition. Soā€¦

is just how you place it in the contextā€¦is it a joke or not not serious or seriousā€¦if work in a small team things just get familliar more freely it should beā€¦

is like madonna and justin timberlake at the mtv awart or britney & madonna, everyone talked about but thing like pornhub sorta things is normalā€¦ just wanna say , some unbalance :slight_smile:

Perhaps someone there mistook it as a description - and decided to try to prove its veracityā€¦?
It seems overreaction is the norm these days

Thatā€™s overly disheartening. Joe was the only reason to listen to half of the linux podcasts. Most of them suck. I guess itā€™ll be more Beyonce and Taylor Swift on my rides home from now on.

Without the context, it is hard to say how serious of a problem it was. Of course, we are only hearing one side of the story so we donā€™t know what else happened or for how long the problem existed.

That is unfortunate.

Itā€™s unfortunate and sad that what ever happened couldnā€™t have been discussed and worked out and an apology given and a lesson learned. Sometimes situations like these allow people to become more aware and humble and change for the good. Not everything people happen to say is meant in the way that someone perceives it and most decent people come to realize that sometimes what they say isnā€™t taken the way they said it or meant it to be. I hope that Joe takes this in stride and moves on to bigger and better things and becomes a better person from this. I wish him well ā€¦be humble man. Lifes too short.
