She has come out as a transgender woman recently and changed her name to Emily. I don’t think there has been a lot in terms of official communication around this, but I guess this video from her personal channel sums it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-owBhLGaH4
😂never knew her old name, so thank you for posting this link, so I could find out which person was meant.
Really hope she comes back to making Linux videos in the future! Would love a collaboration with Jeff Geerling 😀
Kudos for being an ally to those who need it. It’s a minor effort for us to support those trying to be their true selves and it means the world to them that we support them.
That’s fair enough, but it would have been way better in that case to use the correct name, and adding a reference in parenthesis or something for those who are not yet up to date, rather than using only the deadname.
The person formerly known as Anthony goes by Emily now, let’s try and not use deadnames :)

I think he knows. But only writing Emily could also confuse some people who werr unaware
