Phoronix forums have got to be the most hateful threads I have come across in the Linux community. It’s sad because the articles really helped me get into and understand the ecosystem

    Yeah dont read their comments.

    I have them on my RSS because is a nice feed of news even if he does some clickbaity titles but the community has zero moderation.

    Like, it’s not just rude technical arguments, but also a lot of political and personal insults.

    I don’t have the energy for it.

    The Phoronix comment section has always been kinda shit. Maybe one in every thousand posts will contain anything of value (in most cases a comment by a developer telling the peanut gallery why they’re wrong).

      Have you read the LKML thread where the Rust people are called “Cancer”, then slapped with “You are the problem” to end up with “we are the Thin Blue Line”? Herbst is right, it is sickening.

      And what “line” is that? The last line against… Innovation? Just Stuff Moving Forward Like It Does Without Regards For Your Fragile Ego? The Dinosaurs Extinction?

        Isn’t “thin blue line” one of these pro-cop phrases that resurfaced in reaction to BLM? If so, I think fascism might be a part of the problem.

          Yes. Calling this image today is super-loaded in every way: racism, white supremacy, fascism, it’s all there from BLM to the Jan 6 Insurrection.
