    The comments on that article are unbearable.

      It’s Phoronix, the articles are good but the comments on every article are unbearable.

      It’s basically a meme at this point.

      There’s a bunch of people in the forum with poor awareness and emotional control throwing tantrums, typically over any project with a code of conduct (even something as simple as “Don’t be an asshole”) because they believe it infringes on their right to be inconsiderate.

      New projects want to avoid the drama and issues of projects from decades past, so naturally they add codes of conduct which causes those folks above to have hissyfits everywhere about those projects anytime they or something adjacent to them is mentioned.

      Most places warn then kick those users out, and then there’s Phoronix.
