SoylentNews is people

If you read SoylentNews, Ars Technica, Reddit, or anywhere other than the other site, you've probably heard about SourceForge hijacking accounts and monetizing open source software with crapware installers. It seems the other site is intent on burying that information. Perhaps they don't consider it newsworthy?

For those still using SourceForge, there are many superior alternatives.

    Just not the same when it's not in Russian, or read by Bruce Jenner.
