It's gone downhill imho after Martin sold it.
I don't visit tech websites all that frequently anymore and only look
at (a few) hardware (review) sites when I'm in the market for new
hardware, which doesn't happen very often. As to software, Distrowatch
once a week.
A few sites occasionally, no favorites. Too much commercial crap
almost everywhere. F*ck them.

Yeah, I know. I quit going to it shortly after they did that and changed
the website's layout. It just got too difficult to narrow the list of
articles down to what I was interested in, and too much propaganda-news
started leaking into the listings.

That's a great website, but it's limited to hardware only as the name says.
