Obviously nothing happened so far in 2022, except Linux FUD/hysteria; this is part of a longstanding pattern at #ZDNet because they’re being paid by companies with vested interests • Techrights ⚓ http://techrights.org/2022/02/17/zdnet-hysteria/ ䷉ #Techrights #GNU #Linux #FreeSW | ♾ Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/02/17/zdnet-hysteria/

#jperlow from #ibm and #microsoft (now #linuxfoundation i.e. their front group, where he's chief communicator) compared RMS to a dinosaur (derogatory image at #zdnet back then). Maybe he learned this slur during his time at IBM. I responded in http://techrights.org/2013/03/14/zdnet-written-by-microsoft/
The Slashdot "Linux" section has become #ZDNet 's anti- #Linux section https://it.slashdot.org/story/22/02/12/1955213/linux-malware-attacks-are-increasing-and-businesses-arent-ready see http://techrights.org/2022/02/13/vmware-epic-fud/
" #ZDNet is a technology tabloid-like news sites whose writers have many conflicts of interest; the difference between advertising and stories is rarely clear. CBS, the parent company, also runs CNET, which is a little more professional." http://techrights.org/wiki/ZDNet
#zdnet is a propaganda site that occasionally recruits some legit journalist in order to seem like a real news site... http://techrights.org/wiki/ZDNet
#CharlieOsborne of #Microsoft #ZDNet failing to mention that Microsoft intentionally leaves holes for the #NSA https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-february-2021-patch-tuesday-48-bugs-squashed-one-zero-day-resolved/ see http://techrights.org/wiki/ZDNet and http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Microsoft_and_the_NSA
#zdnet #LiamTung is trying to present #Microsoft as security experts when Microsoft is in fact a #backdoors company, making its stuff full of holes by intention. See http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Microsoft_and_the_NSA
#zdnet is a sponsored mouthpiece of #microsoft #ibm and front groups of theirs, e.g. #linuxfoundation ... it's about #marketing but they use their very, very former reputation as a news site http://techrights.org/wiki/ZDNet
Steven Vaughan-Nichols (SJVN) once again publishing spam for sponsors. This isn't #journalism but #marketing ... and #zdnet is unsuitable for reporting
SJVN feeding BTC trolls. Some 'journalism'... #zdnet #clickbait https://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-torvalds-is-not-bitcoins-legendary-creator-satoshi-nakamoto/
#zdnet has published #Forrester "Research" FUD entitled "How to avoid an open source security nightmare", and this firm is funded by #microsoft (which actually puts #backdoors in everything) http://techrights.org/wiki/Forrester
Paid-for LF spam by #SJVN at #ZDNet again. 'Obligatory' articles for sponsors. http://techrights.org/wiki/ZDNet
#ZDNet keeps promoting this bogus, phony narratives wherein the #security deficit comes not from #proprietarysoftware with #backdoors but from #Freesoftware http://techrights.org/wiki/ZDNet
#gulag colluding with #microsoft on #fakeSecurity ? No, lousy 'reporting' from #zdnet ... ("Google announces Scorecard V4 in partnership with GitHub and OpenSSF") http://techrights.org/2020/10/30/openssf-microsoft/
#zdnet headline says "Linux mastery bundle" just after ZDNet had been paid by #ibm and #microsoft to then tell us, as it did, that "master" as a work is racist and should be avoided. These people don't follow their own phony standards. https://www.zdnet.com/education/learn-how-open-source-code-works-with-this-linux-mastery-bundle/
#zdnet is gradually collapsing; it's reducing staffing (which is good). If you go to their "Linux" section right now, page 1 spans about 5 weeks. 1-2 years ago it would span just 5 days. Lots of FUD and misinformation. #boycottzdnet because it is working. http://techrights.org/wiki/ZDNet
