Gemini version available ♊︎Only Sheep Will Believe That Microsoft Loves Linux
Summary: The liars of ZDNet still tell us lies such as “Microsoft loves Linux” and promote WSL (an attack on GNU/Linux) as recently as half a day ago in a new video (high-cost production of de facto ads); this means ZDNet lives on “borrowed time”, enjoying its last days as little more than a Microsoft prop, not a news site
THE antics of Microsoft are well understood and easily demonstrated, using an ample and mostly consistent track record of deception, destruction and decapitation. Microsoft leaves no stone unturned as it turns its competitors to dust and rubble. Where’s Novell today? Where’s Nokia? What about Yahoo!…
People who still perpetuate the lie that Microsoft suddenly fell in love with Linux are chronic liars and many are being paid by Microsoft, e.g. ZDNet staff. One person who spent years promoting this lie (dozens of times) turned out to be loving kids, sexually. He was eventually arrested for doing this on Condé Nast’s payroll and his employer/publisher nearly folded. Many other sites of Condé Nast, Wired included, are just a pale shadow of their former selves. Well, at least Condé Nast managed to oust Torvalds for several weeks… using deliberate distortions and a phony narrative.
The cost of credibility loss is high and the toll immense. We’ve meanwhile noticed some hacks from ZDNet trying to discredit us for merely pointing out the toxic agenda and spammy tactics of ZDNet (‘decorating’ all articles about GNU/Linux with Microsoft propaganda and intentional lies).
ZDNet is not run by sheep. It’s run by liars looking to indoctrinate sheep. They try to attract those sheep with some articles about “Linux” — articles that turn out to be promoting Windows and Microsoft instead. Microsoft only ever “loved” Linux as a Vista 10 promotional tool. Look at all the googlebombing to that effect. Let’s hope that a few months from now CBS will do to ZDNet what Condé Nast did to Ars Technica, nearly mothballing the whole thing. ZDNet hardly exists anymore… for any purpose other than sheer propaganda. █
