The article seems to use the term distributed computing for volunteer computing. Distributed computing very clearly is neither dying nor fading away.
Volunteer computing is more interesting. There’s a constant trickle of new projects, like distributed sharing of GPU power for running smaller LLM models, random science experiments that have you install an app on a phone to collect data, various Blockchain shenanigans, etc. I’m not sure if they’re getting less coverage than, say, Folding@Home or the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Seach. So perhaps it is fading into the background, but it certainly doesn’t seem to be dying.

What do you eat that other people think is odd?
I'll start: pesto as a bagel topping.
