Slopwatch: webpronews.com, linuxsecurity.com, linuxjournal.com
Slopfarms are still at it and some of them are called "Linux" something, e.g. linuxjournal.com after its takeover by this dodgy company. But let's start with webpronews.com, which was reincarnated as a slopfarm some months ago, accompanied/joined by images from "Grok", i.e. xAI, the "nazi bar" of MElon Tusk. Notice below that it looks like an article about "Linux" something, but both the image and the text are 100% fake:
It's based on the many puff pieces from and about the Linux Foundation, which also makes its share of fake 'articles'. This is what it is selling as a service: fake articles for companies. Pay us, we'll make fake articles about you, composed by SJVN and others. We mentioned one example this morning and a reader said: "It might be useful to occasionally mention that SJVN had once been an excellent journalist but was broken by Microsoft and subverted somehow. His present focus is the antipode of what and how he was writing during his prime. He is unlike Spamnil, who has always been dodgy."
At linuxjournal.com we once again have a new 'article'. Like everything else in linuxjournal.com (in recent months) it is just LLM slop:
Of course it's nonsense, it's obvious even before checking (just to be sure):
At linuxsecurity.com it's almost always the same person pushing out there or pumping out fake 'articles' with "Linux" in the title:
So welcome to the "modern" Web; let's accept that it is fast becoming lots of proprietary JavaScript, lots or rogue bots... and what for? To make a pile of trash disguised as 'articles'? █
