As someone who is currently feeling disheartened at… gestures wildly… I thought a nice, light piece about a botched art restoration in Spain would be a safe reprieve… But nope, you managed to tie it back in to world politics. Congrats I guess.
I think I need to get off social media for a bit.

Hey, I’ve replied to the parent comment with a description of how it works
- Comment on All this for a banana bread recipe 2 weeks ago:
Sure! I’m far from an expert, but this is my understanding of how it would work for age verification:
There are 3 parties in this scenario. The Estonian state, Meta, and a 3rd party (which is currently a real 3rd party, but work is being done to allow this to be a digital wallet on your device, that you control)
The state issues your 3rd party a magic cryptographic cert that has all your personal data like dob
Meta issue an age challenge: Not “what’s your dob” but rather “Are you old enough to use this service?”
3rd party show you exactly what Meta are requesting and give you the option to approve or deny the request
If you approve, the 3rd party generate a new cert that JUST says “Yes I’m of age” and nothing else.
Because it’s been generated from the states magic cert it can be verified with their public key.
Meta don’t get more info than they need, the state can’t see that you’ve logged into Meta, but you’ve successfully proved you’re old enough to use the service.
The current weak point is that the 3rd party can absolutely see all of it, but there’s no reason the 3rd party has to be an external service. It could absolutely be an app on your device.
You still need to prove yourself to the state, but you’d have to do that to get an id card in the first place. It’s WAAAAY better than trusting all the different porn sites and social media services individually to not leak or misuse your data

So yes, given the state of the everything in the US right now, yes, do this.
But please know, the problem with age verification is VERY much in the implementation. It IS possible to do age verification without having to identify yourself to Meta/PornHub/Whoever. It IS possible to maintain privacy, AND restrict things like porn and social media to those who are of age. Look at how the Estonian system works, it’s brilliant. The problem isn’t age verification, it’s the blatant data grab that is currently trying to destroy your online anonymity…
Having said that, for fuck sake don’t let the current people in charge do this! It will be a fucking Big Brother style surveillance nightmare.

Ok, ye! That sounds like a better system! I mean it’s essentially the same, but our “couple of weeks” is cumulative, which is worse
- Comment on Sick days 4 weeks ago:
I’m curious what that looks like in practice. I’ve heard about places that offer “unlimited sick leave” but really in practice that means that you’re basically scrutinized every single time you take it, and people end up too scared to use it because they don’t want to be seen as abusing the system. At least with a set amount, you’re only really looked at funny if you go over. (or if you take it all at once, but then you need a medical cert)
So if you have a cold, and just need a single day, do need to produce a medical cert? What about culture-wise, do people look at you funny in that case?

Where’s here if you don’t mind me asking?
- Comment on Sick days 4 weeks ago:
At that point ACC would kick in. I think it’s up to 80% of your pre illness income, and there are probably other benefits I don’t know about
- Comment on Sick days 4 weeks ago:
NZ: We’re legally entitled to 10 days paid sick leave. If you’re out for less than 3 consecutive days you can be asked for a medical certificate but your employer must pay for it. Even then I’ve never been asked for a medical cert.
this is an American problem I’m guessing

anything on that phone is looong gone. The phone itself is probably long gone. Probably best to stop thinking of them like a police force who keep evidence and stuff. They’re the Gestapo.

This sounds like that thing where kids were soaking tampons in vodka and sticking them up the pooper… I will not lie, I have considered trying it. More just because I can’t believe it works than anything. I can’t see myself doing it regularly…

content that appears, in our judgment, to depict sexual conduct involving a minor
I’m assuming they don’t mean a suggestive camera pan, but actually something problematic on screen, in which case, I totally support the ban. Devs were given the opportunity to change it, and they said no. Ban away imho. The fact that this is considered controversial is pretty disturbing to me.
