Linux Today Founder Calls for Boycott of Linux Today

Posted by michael on from the doh dept.

dave writes "I founded and managed Linux Today in 1998, bringing it up from nothing into the most powerful and large Linux news website in the world, in less than a year. I am now calling on the Linux community to boycott my creation until its current owners stop accepting money from Microsoft to publish blatantly anti-Linux/pro-Microsoft ads."

  1. You see the ads? I don't. by drgroove · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I browse w/ Mozilla FireFox. I block ad servers religiously, and I have the FlashBlock extension installed, which prevents flash from playing w/o my explicit consent. As far as my browsing goes, Microsoft is dumping revenue into a pro-Linux news site for content that /I never see/.

  2. I use firefox... by triolus · · Score: 0, Redundant

    it lets me block images from certain servers. So I ask... What ads?

  3. What about Slash? by CuriousGeorge113 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Wait a minute, I'm sure we've all seen the M$ ads here on slash. I know that the OSDN dosen't specifically get M$ money, but they're through doubleclick.

    So maybe we should start boycotting slash too?
