  Typical phoronix-style inflammatory blogspam. If this is what it takes to keep a Linux news site afloat, we're better off without any. Also, as always, the article is below HN's level...

Did they disable the comment thread visibility for anon/not-logged-in users? I hope they deleted the comments instead of only hiding them from the public eye.

    i am still able to see it; perhaps you're not a paying subscriber, which i (regrettably) am. edit: yes you do need a phoronix premium or have been a forum member for 3+ years to view the thread.

I can’t even view the comments without signing in. Probably a good thing.

It's like the worst of the edgy Linux users of the 90s, but somehow worse.
