Slopwatch: Brian Fagioli, Brittany Day (linuxsecurity.com), and Microsoft Misinformation, False Marketing
Just over a day ago Brian Fagioli published a page that says "do not leave Windows for Linux" and use a Virtual Machine or dual-boot or WSL (i.e. Windows) instead. It's very much possible this was a real article composed for him, for a change, but what's amusing is the two comments left there:
He has made himself the reputation of a Serial Slopper (SS).
And speaking of Serial Sloppers, Brittany Day is at it again. Day is producing anti-Linux LLM slop, LLM FUD.
There's this minor thing about Fedora. Several slop sites, or slopfarms, were the only ones publishing 'articles' (fake) about it. Now there's one more:
It's LLM slop, i.e. fake:
We must call out the culprits to weed out fake articles about "Linux"; many of them are hostile towards Linux and given that the LLMs are typically controlled by Microsoft, none of this should be surprising. Microsoft is meanwhile accepting that the "hey hi" (AI) hype is dying, so it's time to shift hype to something else, helped by the Serial Slopper (SS) above. He pasted their misleading marketing videos from Microsoft all over the place, in effect relaying misinformation about "quantum". As somebody put it yesterday: "I read a paper somewhere that said the best we might ever get with quantum is like setting up pins at a bowling ally. You run a quick exchange of information(knock down the pins) and get a result, then have it reset itself(new frame of pins) . If this is the case, Quantum computing will go down as biggest waste of resources ever. Almost like a red herring of the computing world."
Another person had said: "usable is not the right word. Quantum is still not a functioning platform nor will it ever be. There's massive flaws in the entire premise of quantum computing..." █
