The genie is already out of the bottle BUT, one solution would be to raise the barrier to entry again.
Return the internet to the pre-“smart” phone era, in which a minimum bar of effort and knowledge needed to be present in order to connect and participate on the web.
In 2008~2010, the flood gates opened for all the normies to stampede in and everything has been downhill since then.

I could have predicted that even if the article never mentioned it.
I no longer view gatekeeping necessarily as a bad thing. In fact, it can be sometimes be necessary to preserve communities.
I’ve also learned over the years that the only people who succeed in migrating to linux are those who both considerably desire to do so while also having a level of technical competency somewhere north of average. Anyone else is just being strung along by a “helpful” linux evangelist in their family or friends group, and will ultimately drop the solution at the first sign of trouble and frustration.
What’s wrong with /proc/*info and dmidecode?
I really enjoy there being a natural filter through this process. I’d rather people who lack the willpower or cognitive capacity to complete an install be kept within the confines of Windows.

stop using the internet outside of what is required to function in society.

the only “good” thing is the convenience
How many party favors and discount happy meal toys do you purchase?
bragging about how awesome it was that the federal government was providing extra money and it was like working a good job…
Revolt hush money. I’m sure this was ran through a simulation at some prior time, “how can we pacify a domestic population that might reject what we’re about to do to them?” Money, of course.
leading to significant manipulation of public discourse
Pretending that this wasn’t already a massive issue on places like reddit since years ago, with or without bots, is a little bit disingenuous.

Advertising and advertisers are the reverse midas touch of the internet. Everything they touch turns to shit.
Case in point, just look at reddit.
Price your goods right up to what the market can bear. Business sense.

With time, the normies will acclimate to it, and Windows 11 will become “acceptable”. Just like all the other ones.
