Quoting: snizzoYes please. Just don't be like phoronix and turn this website into a kde, mesa, manjaro, amd etc. zealots center. It's so annoying just reading over 9000 news about the latest commit on amd mesa and all of the hate towards nvidia in general (given that's still the best vendor hardware/software for gaming on linux).

So basically you are complaining that Phoronix covers topics that you hate? And then you turn around and complain about other people being haters?

I think you need to do a little introspection here.

Oh gosh. My message is so difficult to understand? I'm not complaining that phoronix covers some topics (that I don't hate). I'd prefer it to be a news site that gives the same space to everything and treat it objectively, like a journalist do and unlike a blogger do. I'm more and more thrilled to see how many people just don't get what's written in a small comment.

You are annoyed by Michael Larabel's coverage of AMD and Mesa because you prefer Nvidia, and you are complaining about zealotry. I am not misreading your words here. Larabel for all his sins (and he has a few) does give fairly broad coverage of all kinds of topics in the Linux community, including Nvidia.

You just need to do a quick search to see that I am right:

AMD and Mesa are going through a huge amount of change right now and have been doing so for the past ten years. I think that is worthy of the amount of news coverage it has been getting. Nvidia is not getting forgotten. You just seem to be irked by the fact that your preferred option does not completely dominate the conversation.

EDIT: Case in point, here are some statistics:
794 AMD news articles published on Phoronix.
612 NVIDIA news articles published on Phoronix.

Now that is a 9000/1 ratio if ever I saw one...

EDIT 2: And just so I can not be accused of selective quoting, in reference to your original post:

Quoting: snizzoSo yes, I'd like you to post news about linux in general, just don't be too obsessive writing at topics that generate traffic through hate and religion like phoronix do.

You mention KDE, Mesa, Manjaro, and AMD in the same breath as "topics that generate traffic through hate and religion" and yet you still maintain that you do not hate the subject matter. Again, some introspection here would be nice. You do seem to take considerable umbridge with them being discussed.

I could reply to you to all these points (like making you notice that the pure number of articles is of absolutely no meaning towards what you're trying to demonstrate (hint: objectivity and not doing click-baiting covering topics that will generate free hate, more hints? look at difference between omgubuntu and phoronix reader base.) but it's no more worth my time. You're using rethoric and mixing pseudo science with real (infused?) truth, while, of course I was talking about an opinion. The fact that you replied so hard on this, and that you want me to admit my supposed guilt, simply demostrate, at my eyes, that my personal opinion was right and reinforced.

Therefore, I won't reply again, my ego does not depend on people reading comments on forums.

Quoting: khalismur

Quoting: snizzop.s. "I remember that going against your comminuty is seldom a great idea" ... is this even serious? I'm speechless.

Well good thing you won't be able to discuss and I won't lose time. But it is serious.

I won't feed a troll. No luck for you today.

Quoting: liamdaweWell, I actually made a decision earlier about doing a new site for general Linux news. Will do a proper announcement on it later.

I totally understand some people have reservations about me doing it, but I will explain more when it's time to.

:-( As I said, there is enough redundancy already..... GoL was unique in terms of size, structure and community (there is also boilingsteam).

General news, oh, there are so many already.... Too bad Liam.
You asked the question, almost all answers were negative or neutral and you decided to go for it. I remember that going against your comminuty is seldom a great idea !

This is nothing to do with GOL, as stated. And actually, 99% of the time I do something "against the community" it ends up that I'm right ;) because the people who say that are usually the 1%.

That's exactly what I was referring to. Canonical wants to make mir and unity? Let them. Nvidia wants to make closed drivers? Not my problem. I think people in OSS news sites perceive themselves as the decisional power motivated by hate, and that's wrong and against the freedom behind the opensource/free software movement.

Just do what you want Liam. Many of us will follow, some of us will hate. Just do what you feel is right, everything else is secondary.

p.s. "I remember that going against your comminuty is seldom a great idea" ... is this even serious? I'm speechless.

I'd say ~7x resources and 10x tame. Consider some dinos require also 8 to 10 hours of tame, so that would speed the game a bit. I played with that settings for 100+ hours and that's really enjoyable. I abandoned because there were too hardcore player there but I'd like to join GOL private server!

Edit: also, this server really makes me want to throw money at gol :P

I like the game and tempted to join but please increase multiplier to 5x or 10x. Else is unplayable (if you have a life)
