schestowitz | My sincere thoughts on LJ: this is crude and written quickly (I spoke about this with Rianne) | Aug 10 05:44 |
---|---|---|
schestowitz | speaking as a community, LJ's demise is really bad. Same for Linux.com (and LF at large) | Aug 10 05:44 |
schestowitz | from a 'selfish' POV, if we cannot save the above, we can at least fill the vacuum left | Aug 10 05:44 |
schestowitz | both as activists and arhivists | Aug 10 05:44 |
schestowitz | it means less 'competition' (I don't like to think in these terms) | Aug 10 05:45 |
schestowitz | 'linux today' may be the next one to fall. maybe open source dot com. maybe even lxer | Aug 10 05:45 |
schestowitz | I could explain why, but that's not what's important | Aug 10 05:45 |
schestowitz | Microsoft will googlebomb this 'vacuum' | Aug 10 05:45 |
schestowitz | then what? | Aug 10 05:45 |
schestowitz | i think only Microsoft delights at this | Aug 10 05:45 |
schestowitz | yesterday I learned that also MSDN had just collapsed | Aug 10 05:45 |
schestowitz | we're at war over narratives here, and it's them who are lying. | Aug 10 05:45 |
