Brittany Day Unleashes Microsoft Propaganda About Linux, Likely Generated by Microsoft LLM to Strategically Googlebomb a Topic

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 31, 2024

Yes, it's definitely LLM slop:

In this article, I'll explore the implications of the potential removal of RNDIS from the Linux kernel, providing valuable insights on how it would impact the security and performance of our systems.

In the ongoing quest to enhance security and streamline functionality, the Linux kernel community increasingly focuses on potentially deprecated protocols that pose more harm than benefit

But this is what it looks like to some random reader or person who innocently "googles it":

Preparing for the End of RNDIS in Linux: A Security Admin's Guide

We have repeatedly cautioned that linuxsecurity.com publishes fake 'articles' about "Linux", usually security FUD that seems to be generated by Microsoft bots that lack a business model other than flooding the world (through the Web and more) with misinformation.

Maybe that's the sole goal of the LLM hype. Turn the Web into a filthy pool of Microsoft lies...

To quote John Gruber (new blog post): "We once again need to raise more capital than we’d imagined [...] raising another $6.6 billion at a valuation of $157 billion sounds alarmingly like a Ponzi scheme..."

Well, a Ponzi scheme indeed. We've been saying this since 2022.

Day isn't stopping. She could just as well merely plagiarise the following with Mozilla's latest nonsense:

Linux RNDIS Removal Branch Updated For Disabling Microsoft RNDIS Protocol Drivers

So far we've named (and shamed) linuxsecurity.com the most because it's the biggest culprit and this FUD machine needs monitoring. As we explained many times before, we can only hope that the public shaming will discourage other sites from following the same footsteps. There seem to be no legitimate uses for LLMs. It's hype. Those who use LLMs to spread falsehoods aren't exempt from accountability, according to a new ruling (in today's Daily Links).

Enough with those "bullshit generators", which is what Richard Stallman calls them.
