kind of miss n-gate coverage of FOSDEM to be honest, it was great for putting stuff in (sarcastic) perspective. More conferences should have a treatment like that.
In true n-gate fashion I believe the n-gate collapsed under the increasingly worse takes he had to come up with to counter the bad takes the n-gate witnessed from an hackernews. The parody indistinguishable from the idea of the original that was lost years ago, in a blurry confusion of what was and what the thought of what it was was. Having lost the meaning of its existence, it merely ceased to exist.
