I don't understand the point of this article. It said all that it had to say with the headline alone. Everything else is filler.

"ChromeOS is Linux in disguise. But people already knew this." Ok. And?

Welcome to journalism in 2023. You don't write anything out of passion anymore, you're just filling your weekly quota with random words

How much did you pay for journalism last month? And yet you expect quality and passion.

[-] dinckelman@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I don't expect quality from them, that's why I don't really pay attention to corporate journalism. I get most of this kind of information from individual creators, and I do support those when I can

Good for you, and I'm impressed by your undefensive and unhuffy reply.

Because the amount of entitlement I see about professional journalism really pisses me off, personally. There is a reason that much (not all) journalism is not the quality it used to be. It's because nobody is frigging paying for it any more. Journalists are not the perpetrators in this story, they are the victims. The internet has caused their profession to implode. It's their jobs that have disappeared on a huge scale, their salaries that have shrunk, their career choice that turned out to be a catastrophic bad move. All because of a technical innovation, basically. Well, personally I think we may come to regret the demise of this profession which served society well for at least a century. But the least we can do is stop the victim-blaming.

Rant over. No, I am not a journalist. Very glad of that career choice.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
