>Anonymous age verification

Anonymity from whom? Does the German government doesn't know that Gunter Shmidt has just verified his age to the site GreatBDSMPartiesInBerlinForDragQueens.com ? Even if they obtain the logs from the site?

afaik it comes directly from your ID's card chip, there is an App inbetween that temporarily stores that data so it can be submitted to the service you are registering to

I've been really enjoying all these articles proposing solutions to anonymous age verification, mainly because most of them are written as if this has never been implemented in the real world. German IDs support age verification that just returns a yes/no response to the question "is this user above the age of 18," and not a single service in the entire country supports it.

Anonymous age verification isn't a technical problem to be solved, as it's already been solved, it's a societal problem in that either the companies or the politicians pushing for age verification don't want to support it.

I just recently used my ID to register for a lottery website using the AusweissApp the first setup was a bit annoying, but once you are registered its actually easy to use and apparently you don't even need a phone you can use a card reader on your PC as well

Copying Google AI's response here as it's at least as good as what I was going to recall:

> Fever is a key part of the innate immune system, acting as a protective response to infection by raising the body's temperature. This increase in temperature inhibits the growth of many pathogens, enhances the activity of immune cells like leukocytes, and improves the effectiveness of the adaptive immune response.

My Vietnamese in-laws commonly make a sweat tent to shorten the duration of sickness. I can't say if it works, but it's something I intend to try next time I'm sick.

When I feel like I have a virus I usually put on my hoody which I only wear when I feel ill and a scarf and before going to bed I drink a lot of herb or ginger tea (like two cans)

this is will heat up your body and you get some night sweats, this usually helps reducing the sick time.

I can't say if it actually helps, but its become a ritual for that occasion

Instead of making their shows exclusive they should make them time exclusive (1 year?) then sell a license

I'm French and every idiot supports it, even the so-called left. There is nothing I can do except donate money every month to GrapheneOS (https://grapheneos.org/donate). Democracy is dead for me.

The only safe communication is decentralized communication, capable of multiplexing multiple techniques (IP, BLE, LoRa, etc.) under the hood of cryptographically safe routing and messaging algorithms that work over unreliable links.

Maybe even with small-range offline radio mailboxes so you can deliver and gather messages from/to highly suppressed people which then can be send back into the "online" network automatically without further interaction.

we need a mandatory warning label for any services that were vibe coded.

I really don't want to sign up for a service and then get my shit leaked immediately
