  • I’m putting on my tin foil hat here to say that this could be another propaganda technique.

    You front load the data you want the smooth brains to absorb and then on the back end you explain why this article has a reason to be shared around to everybody who is sane. Smooth brains and the people they want to control will only read the title and the base knowledge that the article is getting across appealing to their base emotions and fears furthering the point that the publisher is trying to propagandize.

    “Smarter” people will read the whole thing and read the back part of the article, which says that this is actually an “anti-age verification article” So you share it to social media to try to prove your own point. But all the smooth brains only see the front loaded point.

    So in a way, creating an article like this is more likely to be shared by more people and then the hidden point of age verification is front loaded and the criticisms against it are hidden behind too many paragraphs for most.

    Arstechica is a captured media site owned by Condé Naste who not only published “The Art of The Deal” they also are anti-union, pro Iseal, and they are partially responsible for this current radicalization of america through their many publications.

    They recently fired several people from Teen Vogue for their political opinions and Union organization.

    This is an entity which likes to appear impartial but definitely is pushing an agenda.

    Anyway i have to take my tinfoil hat off to play beat saber now. This is all speculation

    Wow look. It’s the reason that linux market share is as low as it fucking is.

    Like dude, maybe people can use the terminal just fine but prefer the GUI. What if having the GUI it really opens up accessibility to less technically competent users And promotes adoption of the OS across the board?

    What if using this GUI leads to users using the terminal for more complex tasks? Have you ever thought of that??

    Or are you too busy being some elitist snob in your basement?
