The easy solution is to simply not read the article in question.

'I'm a subscriber and I demand that you stop publishing articles like this!'. What I get from his comment is a sense of entitlement.

So what's the harm here? this article didn't take any resources from the editors, so is this a case of aesthetics or something? That the person does not want to read about Steve Wozniak, so everything related to Woz should not appear in LWN? Should we all constantly voice our opinions about whether we like or dislike some particular article? The comments would then quickly degenerate in to arguiming that is the article interesting or not, as opposed to actually discussing the contents of the article.Īnd in this case, the 'article' is basically just a link to the interview, and a short blurb from it. He did not pay for this particular article (which is available for free in any case), he paid for subscribing to LWN, which gives him many benefits over non-subscribers (like early access to the weekly editions). I for one AM interested in his views about Linux. Yes, he comes from the 'other side', but that doesn't mean that his comments and opinions are not interesting or valid. Wozniak IS one of the great people of computing. Why not just glance at the article, decide 'I'm not interested in that', and move on? How much time have you now wasted complaining about this? Do you think that just because you subscribe to LWN, you can now expect only articles that are interesting to you? Yes, I guess the LWN-editors should start to pander to your personal wants and demands. 'I used the comment system to say that articles such as this (of which there've been a string lately) are not the reason why I subscribe to LWN.' What I do NOT do is to start complaining about them. What do I do? I simply choose not to read those articles. Why do you whine about this thing so much? I mean, I occasionally run in to articles on LWN that I do not care about that much, for one reason or another.
