Summary: Slashdot used to be a pro-GNU/Linux site; now it's run by very different people, but many make wrong assumptions about what the site actually is
("Schneier on Security" seems to have become "Slashdot on Security" lately)
Slopfarms will eventually perish (they have no actual value) and "survivors" on the Web will be sites that never depended on search engines and social control media
Having spent 1.5 years bullying me with patronising letters on behalf of Microsofters, last week they got served a massive bill and, in effect, lost the Hearing
Computing and the Net became a playground for scammers and "bros", like people who "invented" fake currencies and also try to tell us that LLMs spewing out things will have some real value
