Not Much Left in News Cycles
Yesterday I partly joked we'd have a "project 2030", wherein by 2030 we'll have published all the material and article drafts we have (many go back to 2021, some cover the EPO scandals pertaining to Microsoft). The general idea is to leave enough space (time-wise) to let information be properly absorbed. In a nutshell, the basic premise is that haste makes waste or stress/haste can make storytelling deficient, less effective, as in lower in effect. Hurry leads to stress (expectations set high or with deadlines), stress leads to hurry, and we've in no hurry, we're turning 20 in just over a year and we're doing well.
While it's sad that a lot of Linux sites become slopfarms and die there's an aspect which benefits us: 1) we have less 'competition' and 2) it takes less time to read the news (the information overload is being reduced, not because there's a lack of stuff to report on, there are just fewer people investigating and publishing information) and less time reading means more time spent on writing. This year we've produced more stories than in any prior year.
10 years ago it was hard for me to even publish 10 posts a day in this site because there was just so much news to catch up with online (with or without RSS feeds). That's no longer the case. Weekends are calm, going on holiday is easy (one can catch up with all the important news reports in less than 5 minutes), and the only weekdays with a real flow or real news are Wednesdays and Thursdays, sometimes late Tuesday (some sites only employ editors on a part-time basis to keep costs low and stay alive).
To be very clear, this does not describe "Linux" anything; it's true in just about every facet of news, except the paid-for fake "journalism" about "hey hi" (sites getting paid explicitly to maintain or rekindle hype). Sadly, there are still many sites that participate in this Ponzi scheme; we've had to blacklist some of them to keep the signal-to-noise (s/n) ratio sane. █
