What do they offer?? An alternative to email that isn’t standard, not based in open and standard protocols like IMAP/SMPT at all and is incompatible with everything else out there that FYI is distributed. So this is basically another attempt at emulating Proton’s success and making email effetely less standardized. lol
It’s a Pi, what are you expecting. You just wasted a ton of money on inferior hardware with extra software issues. You could’ve just got a mini pc with 2 nvme slots instead for half the price and add a 6 port sata board for 20$ to one of those. Much cheaper, way more reliable, upgradable and ZFS actually would’ve work as you expect.
I’ve said this in the past, the app is good and works fine but it lacks a standalone desktop app…
It’s a bit pointless to have it working [only] the way it does, it’s all JS already so why force people into Docker to install something that can already perfectly work as desktop app with Tauri, Electron or even something much simpler like a custom build C++ webview? Thanks.
Is there anyone more familiar with this age verification process that can explain if and what data does this share with some UE body or government? Is the the system 100% client-side or is there any API or tie to other govt service that may be able to track when and where (website) you’re trying to verify your age? Thanks.
Yes, but this is a slippery slope. You allow a govt to ID people, track movements and restrict freedoms to counteract the spread of a disease… they test the tech. The next day they’re applying it to porn with the “lets protect children” mantra and a few months down the line they’re applying it because of “terrorism and ilegal immigration” and then you can’t travel inside your country without your digital ID flashing green and/or you cant buy stuff.
I don’t think these systems should be implemented, the internet should be a free place and that’s it. Before anyone says “what about the kids oh my god” - this has nothing to do with kids, but the politicians like to use the kids as an excuse to do anything because if you add “kids” and “pornography” or even better “online abuse” and “kidnap” into the same phrase then they can shame you and shut down any argument against whatever they want to implement.
This age verification BS is just a first step into full identity verification online and also the govt knowing exactly you’re doing online, when and where. They also want to be able to instantly remove your ability to login into anything (or everything) they would like.
People say that the US is turning into surveillance / china-like state but in reality the EU is way, way closer than that. Just look at what was done with the EU Digital COVID Certificate (EUDCC) recently:
The EUDCC was a digitally-signed document. It was usually supplied in the form of a QR code, either contained in a PDF file, or as a printout. There are various mobile apps available to store and display the EUDCC (such as the Corona-Warn-App); alternatively, the EUDCC can be presented on paper.
Technically, the QR code contains a JSON document with the information payload. This JSON document is serialized using Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR), and digitally signed according to CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE). The resulting data is compressed with zlib and encoded into the final QR code
And yes, there were countries blocking you from going into a store to buy basic stuff without showing a valid COVID certificate. No vax or no proof of recovery = starve out. Add the inability to move between cities to that and you’re very, very close to the “democratic” China.

Not sure if you know this but in a lot of EU countries people have identity cards that are already smart cards and are used to digitally sign documents (with full legal validity) and login into public services.
Adding an extra certificate for the age verification would be very easy. They already have all the certification infrastructure in place and are used to it. However… like I said before it looks they really want to control where you validate your identity so they won’t do it in this way.
There’s also another thing to consider: a US citizen would never agree to have a unique digitally signed ID issued by the local state with an intermediate certificate issued and controlled by the federal govt. Note that if they implement the same model the EU is following both the local state and the federal govt would be able to revoke those ID (certificates) at any time.

Yeah that the obvious straightforward fix, but that’s not the point. They want to have some online system that really tracks your ID checks and where you’re checking it. :)
Different times when people actually had time to properly do things and had fun on their jobs. Nowadays…
This is what happens when you’re trying to support millions of immigrants, you just fuck over the people who payed for the system in the first place. But hey, poor immigrants from “Siria”.
Sure we would also all be under water by 2005 or something.
Look, I do believe there’s some damage to the environment made by human activity, however these guys lost all their credibility after all the shit that Al Gore said for years and years that fortunately never happened. Anyways, did you notice that the artic sea ice is peaking right now?..
Audio recordings in this would be useful, but the rest just kills the product.
DNS0.eu is the new thing. Maybe also Control D Free DNS, Alternate DNS or if you want to go more hardcore LibreDNS. To be fair your biggest concern shouldn’t be only where you get your DNS from BUT also if it supports DoT and DoH - encrypting the DNS is more important for a lot people than actually using something other than Cloudflare or some other big company.
Adguard is a very large data mining operation. You’ll eventually figure that out.
Yeah that extension should be shipped with the browser to make things easier.
That’s not Ungoogled Chromium, at all. Not even close.
I believe its this: https://lemmy.world/post/32106925/17916457
The only problem with Ungoogled that makes it “not ideal for a normal human” is that fact that it is still cumbersome af to download it. Regular people don’t know github and how to click on “show all assets” and pick the right build.
Welcome to modern operating systems, apps, browsers, websites… just buy a high-dpi 30" screen :D
Yes, exactly in the same way the data on the COVID vaccines pointed to them being effective at preventing deaths and at avoiding the spread of the virus.
