Believe this is one of the few vendors left making and distributing Linux magazines still(?). Would be interesting to hear what peoples feedback on these are, whether its this one or another. Seems like a fun monthly delivery to get!

Thanks for the in depth reply. I wasn't aware of the URL link redirection which definitely seems shady.

I did try it and didn't really enjoy it much tbh, but a lot of people do like it. I know the owner is fairly right wing, which for me is another point against.

Not only is the owner pretty right wing, he spend a fair amount of money helping get California's Prop 8 passed, which made same sex marriage illegal until it was nationally legalized... There's no guarantee of this but I suspect it would have failed without his involvement helping it along, so yeah, I'll never touch one of his products if I can avoid it

Good to know I should avoid it at least
