Michael should be getting royalties
This might be the first time I’ve ever seen something productive happen in the Phoronix forums. I love that place. Go to any topic with more than about a dozen posts and it’s almost guaranteed to be a flame war. Genuinely one of the funniest places on the Internet.
Check out this one. It took like three posts!
The phoronix forums are insanely toxic. Everything is bad. Gnome = kid’s toy. systemd = written by Satan himself. Every programming language = too slow. Anything vaguely interested in fostering a diversity, equity, and inclusion = true colors come out in full force.
It’s so toxic yet I subject myself to it every now and again. There’s absolutely no moderation going on and it shows.
Once in a while I venture their forums as a morbid curiosity and it always delivers.
That’s hilarious.

AMD rep was already an active member of the community
Unsurprising, yet it still speaks volumes.
All I see is two people failing their corporately mandated cyber security training at the same time.
