Why did the author, Jonathan Corbet, and HN submitter, "iso-8859-1",
decide to revive the slashdot troll meme of "BSD is Dying" here on HN
which is running FreeBSD?
- iso-8859-1 14y agoThe article is no meme recitation. Did you read the article? Did you not even consider if GUI's are useful to the BSD's? Do you really think the BSD's would retain the same level of popularity if they have to maintain more and more infrastructure every year? How does it matter which platform HN uses? It is about the content, not the technology. 99% of HN visitors do not care if HN is running on a lemon powered Babbage engine or not.
- eksith 14y agoI'm not sure about "troll meme", but it is news and hackers are involved. This forum seems appropriate.
