Only Weeks After ZDNet, IDG Has Also Deleted Linux From the RSS Feeds or Web Pages (Categories)

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 11, 2024

33 days ago: ZDNet Kills the Linux RSS Feed (Syndication Redirected to Loads of Marketing Spam and Fake Articles)

Today in IDG's InfoWorld, when attempting to retrieve https://www.infoworld.com/uk/category/linux/ (a URL that worked for a long time):

So there you go! That's how much IDG values Linux. The Linux Foundation used to pay it.

Right now if I go to https://www.infoworld.com/uk/category/linux/ or https://www.infoworld.com/category/linux/ I get "How to use FluentValidation in ASP.NET Core" at the top of the top Nice! very relevant!

Go for Linux news, get Microsoft.
