Digg is Worthless as a News Source

The stuff you read on Digg just seems to get dumber and dumber. I swear I'm about to take it out of my feed list. For example, this front-page article's description reads:

"Despite Microsoft's efforts, the
majority of developers still aren't writing with Windows Vista in mind,
a new study by Evans Data says. Only 8% are specifically coding with
Vista in mind, while Linux is actually higher at 13% -- evidence that
Microsoft's new OS isn't catching on."

The funny thing is, a programmer almost never writes a program for one specific version of Windows, just like one hardly ever writes a program for a specific flavor of Linux. In fact, I don't think I've ever written an application geared just towards one version of Windows. The fact that this crap makes the front page of Digg goes to show that all you have to do is say something anti-Microsoft and pro-Linux - No need to substantiate anything with actual facts. As reader estvir comments:

"...but hey, it's bashing 'M$' so quick, Digg it up! Who cares about full
of rbubsh [sic] it is! Why don't you guys just submit a daily story to Digg
that says "LOL M$ HAH WINDOZ" and be done with stories like this?"

I'm taking my Digg buttons off the blog. I don't want to support stupidity. As a matter of fact, I might even start doing a "stupid Digg frontpagers" collection of articles. At the very least it would give me the opportunity to make up another word like "frontpagers".
