   Fucking. Make. It. Stop. Why does clicking on *anything* just mean suffering the most insufferable venture capital bullshit?

   If I go to a news site, I want to read, you know, the news, and not a giant bunch of magnetic poetry tiles in a tornado.

     Well. This is very sad to see.

     I was expecting something like this would happen eventually from the moment Microsoft acquired it. Microsoft ends up killing anything good it touches, especially anything involving FOSS, and it's only a question of how long it takes them.

     But that's no consolation for all the people who have contributed to it or depended on it.
