Maybe I'm out of the loop: what's wrong with Phoronix?
- O_H_E 8y agoI don't know about phoronix especially, but the HN guidelines states "Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter." Maybe that is what he/she was referring to
- wjoe 8y agoNot much really. He churns out a lot of articles, some of them can be a bit clickbaity, and lacking in much information. He does sometimes post articles that are purely based on rumours. But I think he fills a good niche for technical but easy to read Linux/open source news. In this case he hasn't really done much more than summarise the official release notes, so OP may as well have linked to those.
- craftyguy 8y ago> In this case In pretty much every case. It's rare that Michael actually contributes meaningfully to an article he posts. It's almost always just some copy/paste of the original source.
