This age verification stuff has shown me how many people I thought were trustworthy only read headlines and can be fooled by the most awful people into sharing misinformation.

A lot of bad things are happening in the world right now, this is true. We also need to make sure we’re actually fact checking things and not just spreading rage bait.

Also your reminder that the Linux tech press almost never reaches out to maintainers to ask questions

@danirabbit lemme supply some quotes that you forgot around tech "press" 😆

actually somebody from El Reg reached out to me before, a few years ago, and asked for some info. the resulting article was still misleading and / or wrong though 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

@decathorpe @danirabbit Yeah, "press" is a bit generous most of the time.
