Summary: Sirius ‘Open Source’ with its botched hatchet job continues to merely exploit people, who aren't even working at the company (some haven't worked in the company for about 3 year already, but the official site still shows them off in the page "Meet the Team")

Back in November a pathological liar was falsely accusing and even bullying my wife Rianne. A month later (after leaving) the company is still using her for self-promotion/marketing purposes:

Rianne has a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and has been with Sirius since 2013 working as a support engineer. She works during weekends and sometimes covering weekday shifts for the colleagues. During weekdays and after the shifts of the weekend she co-edits Tux Machines, the website that covers Linux, Android and Open Source-related news. Rianne is environment-conscious, an animal lover and her most loved animal is the panda bear (you can read some of her blog posts in Tux Machines). As much as she loves learning about different cultures, she likes to learn different languages too. As of this date she speaks five!

Update your site, Sirius. Or maybe you plan to take it all offline soon (regardless of updates). Quit faking what you are.
