Congrats! I did the same.

You know all those conveniences that Google gives us for “free” that we all of a sudden can’t seem to live without? Microsoft does that for “enterprise level” companies.

Is this a specific MFA? There are open source authentication apps on fdroid.

Can you Venmo via browser?

This is the salient point that’s hard to communicate.

We’ve moved to fdroid and others because we’re trying to avoid the scammers on the Play Store.

Semantics, no? Side loading is an alternate way of installing.

When I was younger, there use to be “public service announcements” on TV that provided education for the kids and adults watching.

Politicians are humans, just like us (with MAYBE just a larger helping of narcism). They’re also required to work within the law.

I understand the reason I’m getting down votes. We’re in a really really frustrating time. Lots of angry people (me too).

The underpaid clerk already sells booze and cigarettes.

The age token would be free at the time of acquisition (paid by taxes of course).

Yes, you’d get the “buy me a porn token please!” request behind the 7-11, but I’d bet it would be far less frequent than requests to buy booze.

I agree, children shouldn’t be on tiktok or any of these kinds of platforms.

And yes, it should be social pressure rather than legal pressure.

What I like about the convenience store idea, is that the certification process is decentralized. An app wouldn’t be.

This is how it works in Estonia?

Remember that “they” (at least here in the US) are as varied in opinion as are we.

The ones who have a sincere desire to protect children want them to have limited exposure to content online.

My personal thought is children should generally not be engaging others online, but it should be a social push (“don’t talk to strangers online” “don’t allow your children to be unsupervised online” ).

As for arresting child abusers, we seem to be in the habit of putting them in high office.

That’s an interesting idea! Provides a level of abstraction, and maintains a semblance of privacy.

No reason it can’t be both.

Cool! I’ve got the N100, and experience is similar. I’m trying to build up some motivation to use it daily for a while.

Good on you for the development work, and congrats on you accepted pull!

You’re right. I had the same thought about the definition of “account”.
