A joke answer, but with the kernel of truth - IRL age verification often requires a trusted verifier (working under threat of substantial penalty) but often doesn’t require that verifier to maintain any documentation on individual verification actions
aBundleOfFerrets Says Humans Will Reach the Singularity Within 3 Years
Thanks, I was more worried that there was something completely wrong security-wise with that approach!
Genuine question from someone with a single page static site - why is Cloudflare a useless suggestion?
And I’ll argue it’s on-prem even if you don’t have the physical server in your building
“Well, see you Monday!”
It tells you right there in the log: “DRDY”
If it is powered on but blank screen, you can try terminating the user session from a terminal

I use Firefox on desktop and Mull (fork) on Android. I have zero problems with Firefox. I don’t really use YT and don’t mind going to the website when I do so can’t comment on embedded videos
I have used the Voyager PWA and it will hang after being in the background so you have to reopen, but not sure if this is a Firefox issue
Only using basic extensions like UBlock Origin on Android, lots of extensions on desktop (and literally hundreds of tabs open)
Bitwarden F-Droid repo
Lemmy tell you why I like the name…
You can still use the free browser version with a free account - is not the latest and greatest version 4, but it’s the same one everyone was mega excited about just several months ago
I use it for tech support- just the other day I wanted to run a python script on my android phone. From zero to working script in an hour is a huge benefit to me, it would literally have taken me days to find out what to install, how to install it, how to generate the script, how to write out the results etc.
I use (free) ChatGPT only as tech support (with a large dose of scepticism of the results) so none of the ‘conversational’ limitations bother me
I didn’t find the image generation AIs as sticky for me, there’s not really anything I do day-to-day that would require a novel image
Email is about a single source propogating information to many, which is analogous to Twitter/Mastodon/Threads
Lemmy is not like email. It is about communities of shared interests. The relationship is many to many
If I created a many to many community based platform, I would not measure success by how many speakers on another type of platform were able to interoperate
They don’t contribute to open source where it would impact their core business of capturing your attention to feed you ads, only where they know the benefits of open source will be applied to their backend tech stack
There’s also no reason to think they will play by the rules if users start magically moving to other fediverse platforms (as many believe could happen), they can easily mollify regulators about interoperability by pointing to their adherence to MetaPub, the incompatible ActivityPub fork they could make in an instant
I fully agree. I’ve seen the XMPP EEE analogy used a lot, but I don’t think it is the real objection
We’ve got a nice respectful community, of people who want to see community-driven interaction and sharing succeed - Threads offers nothing we want or need
I wasn’t thinking in detail, just addressing an assumption I think a lot of age verification discussions include, which is that the verifier would have to be trusted to maintain some sort of account for you, retaining your data etc.
I have no idea what the legislation says, but I’d be a happier privacy-conscious user if the verification platforms were independent (i.e. not in any other data business) and regulated, with a requirement they don’t retain my personal data at all (like the liquor store example)
So the verifier gathers data from you, matches it with a request from the platform, provides confirmation that some standard has been met, and deletes almost all personal information - I acknowledge that this may not rise to the double-blind standard of the original request
Edited to add:
you don’t have to ‘buy’ a token, the platform needs to pay verifiers as a cost of business
some other comments are asking how you prevent the verifier knowing the platform - to my mind you don’t, instead the verifier retains a request id record from the platform, but forgets entirely who you are
