10:48 schestowitz-TR; I've long regarded it, based on what I saw, to be a hostile site of Microsofters
10:48 schestowitz-TR; this article is... terrible in a lot of ways
10:50 schestowitz-TR; i don't even know if this hostility is intentional
10:50 schestowitz-TR; at least in this case
10:50 schestowitz-TR; still asessign the text
10:50 schestowitz-TR; I wonder where he got the "facts" from
10:50 schestowitz-TR; Reddit Robertson?
10:50 techrightssec2; Should analyticsindiamag be added to the spam list so it is avoided in the
10:50 techrightssec2; future?
10:50 techrightssec2; It's probably just out of misinformation and ignorance
10:50 techrightssec2; but that in itself is a problem.
10:51 schestowitz-TR; don't spam it yet
10:51 schestowitz-TR; I think he didn't mean harm
10:51 schestowitz-TR; but I always became cynical when I saw the domain
10:51 schestowitz-TR; they boosted github and microsoft a lot
10:51 schestowitz-TR; and only counted projects controlled by microsoft
10:51 schestowitz-TR; but that was years ago

10:54 techrightssec2; the misunderstanding and pointing to links describing how m$ lied about Minix
10:54 techrightssec2; might help clear things up.

10:57 schestowitz-TR; nothing related to microsoft
10:57 schestowitz-TR; like I said, maybe the edeitor chose the nasty headline
10:57 schestowitz-TR; and is a microsofter
10:57 schestowitz-TR; provocation can get theme more clicks
10:57 schestowitz-TR; btw, i remarked on larabel in irc
10:57 schestowitz-TR; he's feeding anti-linux articles atm
10:57 schestowitz-TR; to sell amd's crap
10:57 schestowitz-TR; i don't trust amd at all! in some ways they've advanced to more sinister things than intel

10:59 techrightssec2; If the editor is working against the staff by being a microsofter then he must

11:01 schestowitz-TR; hence have no effect
11:01 schestowitz-TR; unless you reach reach the author by name directly
11:01 schestowitz-TR; it feels like they turned a well-MEANING article into a nasty piece that says the opposite
11:01 schestowitz-TR; mocking linux
11:01 schestowitz-TR; like the leaked presentation
11:01 schestowitz-TR; with "believes in santa"

11:01 schestowitz-TR; or: linux is GAFAM's only
11:01 schestowitz-TR; of course gnu is never mentioned at all

13:09 techrightssec2; Parts 1, 2, and 3 of Andy's series need links forward in the TOC. The internal
