@CHEFKOCH banned me for criticizing a Bloomberg article that didn’t link to any primary sources. He claimed I was being “disrespectful” for that criticism…

This doesn’t make any sense to me, and I would avoid that sub, if you’re looking for critically reviewed content, or debate of any kind.

    Those people seem toxic: even the most “credible” news sites write lots of biased emptu-worded speculations every day but they will intentionally avoid providing sources to increase the chance readers share their article instead of the primaries. Stop reading privacynews.

    RIP popcorntimes, you will be missed.

      Yeah, I’ve never read an article about FOSS project that doesn’t link to said project.
      My speculation is that the article was designed to subliminally “shit on” pirate software, and linking to it would defeat that purpose.

      Beneath this repo there is an idea, and ideas are bulletproof.
