Linux.com Changed a Lot

linux.com domain has been scuttled by the Linux Foundation (same as IBM and opensource.com) and today we discuss the current state of it
TWO hours ago we showed how the coveted domain linux.com had been reduced to nonsense or barely anything at all. It was a thriving domain for about 20 years prior to the great cull.
"The Linux Foundation has basically convinced people to abandon this domain."It has now been over 4 years since Zemlin et al (already Microsoft employees on the Board) decided to give linux.com staff the boot. Overnight, all staff -- i.e. both writers and editors -- got sacked. What did they do wrong? Did money run out? Or did Zemlin et al simply decide to kick Linux? Whatever their motivation was (their modus operandi is sinister and they are far too secretive for us to know what went on; transparency does not exist, let alone meeting minutes), linux.com is pretty much a dead domain now. In the past fortnight all that got added to it was two links. Both links were directing towards the blog of the Linux Foundation and not even 100 people saw those links. The Linux Foundation has basically convinced people to abandon this domain. Can't people just go to Microsoft's GitHub instead? The Linux Foundation constantly links to that domain and it even sold a seat in the Board to it (Microsoft's third seat in the Board, exceeding what's normally permitted). Microsoft never plays by the rules. The intent is sabotage. Tearing down the counterpart/opponent/rival is "easier" than actually creating something better. ⬆
