This is correct.

Thank you for the links to Wikipedia and identity.com on that other thread. I’ve yet to wrap my head around how zero-knowledge proof could work for such a basic assertion as “user is of legal age”, which calls for a 0 or 1 answer. It seems very different from the examples given of polynomial computations to prove knowledge of an exponent in a complex math expression. I can’t see what could prevent any client to simply lie about the answer here.

Yup, you are correct . See this discussion: https://lemmy.ml/comment/7209860

Maybe there should be a separate Lemmy instance for children.

That being said, I’ve heard that Nancon’s Robocop is pretty decent. Has anyone played it?

Oh yeah, right. That’s the problem. Consumers have too much choice now. It’s not at all that 90% of those gamed now are badly lacking compared to what we used to have. It’s not at all that publishers feel it’s okay now to release unfinished products and continue development haphazardly after the game is put on sale. It’s not at all that this leads to execs either pulling these dev resources as soon as the game had made good money to put these resources either on new projects or on DLC development. It’s not at all that the industry has been pandering to the lowest common denominator for twenty years, making games that lack a challenge and reward you for nothing. It’s not at all that games are produced by executives with business degrees rather than by extraordinarily passionate and talented creative typed like George Broussard, Chris Sawyer or John Carmack. It’s not at all that in-game purchases through micro-transactions or even large transactions has skewed the incentive structures for both player and developer.

No, it’s those pesky consumers, they’ve been given too much choice, they’ve become spoiled and entitled, so they won’t be content with whatever crap a studio puts out, now. They won’t just play the game and shut up.

I stand corrected and I appreciate it.

FWIW I’m both a resident of France, where I remember reading in L’obs (center-left weekly political-focused magazine that—usually—does quality reporting) that Elisabeth Borne has a female significant as if she had made no efforts to hide it. I’m guessing now that it’s one if those open parisian secrets (L’Obs has always been derided as being somewhat of a champagne socialist—here we say “caviar left”—outlet and it’s true that it targets mainly the concerns of the upper middle class and above), that Elisabeth Borne didn’t want to go national,

…And an American citizen who truly loves American journalism on the whole. In France there’s just nothing like The Atlantic, or Conde Nast publications, or NYMag, or even The Verge, or passionate Substackers; there’s hardly anyone as independent-minded Jesse Singal, or Katie Herzog, or Jonathan Haidt…

EDIT: Went back and checked said article from L’Obs, dated October 2022. It does in fact go no further than to mention “rumors of her homosexuality that floated around newsrooms”. Total case of brain dysfunction on my part, I can only apologize. And downvote myself in atonement.

And I really wish people would stop being so self-centered as to request that news reporters use phrasing that be so imprecise as to be potentially untrue just to suit their whiny whims. You sound like you’re so eager to introduce this little speech code of yours that you’re asking the world to act and talk like non-outed gay people don’t exist and never did. How more backwards can you get?

Nope. The Prime Minister right before him was also openly gay. Could US journalists be bothered to do a little research instead of parrotting one another on this topic?

Yeah, drugs/pharmaceuticals are a very big market.

Yeah it’s seriously upsetting.

Ten Extra Minutes In The Scream Box is the coolest name ever for an emo/screamo/metalcore band.

Here’s a few I enjoy using that I haven’t seen mentioned yet:

• Phonograph Plus: elegant music player using Material UI design
• Etar +ICS² : Etar is a nice-looking calendar app that uses Material UI design, and ICS² enables me to sync the Holiday Calendars provided on Thunderbird.net.
• Etar+ DAVx² + NextCloud : enables syncing my local Etar calendar(s) with any NextCloud instance (using CalDAV). DAVx² also allows for syncing my Android contacts to NextCloud (using CardDAV)
• AnySoft Keyboard: extremely customizable, varied keyboard layouts, for those who want all punctuation marks and quote signs built-in.
• Irregular Expressions: alternative keyboard for goofing around with unicode textstyles (🅒🅘🅡🅒🅛🅔🅢, 𝕺𝖑𝖉 𝕰𝖓𝖌𝖑𝖎𝖘𝖍 𝕭𝖔𝖑𝖉, Ｅｘｔｒａ ｗｉｄｅ, etc.)
• Simple Notes : minimalist “note to self” memos.

Floris I gave it a try, I’m underwhelmed by the lack of punctuation/quote symbol options. Have you tried AnySoftKeyboard? Much more flexible in that department.

RethinkDNS (firewall, proxy and dns all in one [I use it with mullvad vpn’s wireguard config])

Thanks for sharing, I’m looking into RethinkDNS, and I’m not surprised it tries to establish a VPN tunnel to perform its duties. Thing is my phone already has a VPN client, which happens to be Mullvad. What exactly do you mean by “I use it with mullvad vpn’s wireguard config”?

Could you recommend a specific video of his where everything is laid out?

Some people seem to think that blending in is the best/only strategy to avoid being tracked and profiled. The developer of GrapheneOS advocates for this in no uncertain terms, encouraging users of his Vanadium web browser not to use uBlock or NoScript, yet also claims that DNS-level blocking is the only way to block content without sticking out like a sore thumb. I personally question his assumptions regarding this. All it would take for a big ad broker like Google, Amazon, Baidu to detect this would be for them to analyze their web server logfiles to spot which distinct clients (IP addr. x date x time x User-Agent string x other fingerprints) connect to their front-ends but don’t connect to the analytics or ad-network servers during the same page-loading time frame.

One might also wonder whether ad brokers put deals in place with their customers to get read access to these customer’s web server logfiles to do the same kind of analysis in exchange for cheaper rates. Or perhaps under the guise of “let us offload you of these complicated analytics tasks, just show us your logfiles and we’ll take it from there.”
