It’s really, really, really bad reportage. 90% of what they post is just rewording emails from mailing lists with nothing added at all. They’re clearly just regurgitating words they don’t understand.
They focus a lot on drama and it’s like a twelve year old decided to write about all the most superficial drama without any technical understanding of what they’re writing about.
Their “benchmarks” have been heavily criticised too and it’s clear they basically have no idea what they’re doing and the numbers aren’t to be trusted.
Their English prose is terrible. “For this …” wut?
All in all, just a sorry excuse for a website. If it were a newspaper, the appropriate term for it would be a “rag”.
I’m out of the loop. What’s the issue with phoronix?
