Slop or Fake Articles Have Turned Linux Journal From a Pioneering/Trailblazing "Linux" Magazine Into a Nuisance
So various Linux-centric aggregation sites and Google News still link to Linux Journal, even if nowadays it produces fake articles, usually with fake images on top. This is the latest:
It's a soup of itemised LLM slop.
For a little bit of context, back in the 1990s Linux Journal was one of the first magazines to cover "Linux" (being called Linux Journal meant that GNU/Linux became just "Linux" and it was deemed a "journal", sort of like scientific journals). Over the years Linux Journal employed high-profile writers like Doc Searls and Dr. Glyn Moody. Now it's owned by Slashdot Media [1, 2].
LLM slop is basically cancer on the Web (the fusion slop is another kind of problem and not unprecedented). It replaces actual information with junk (words strung together without actual understanding of what those words convey) and some sites with former reputation - good reputation - turn into cesspools. █
