Philosophically I agree with you. I was just discussing a technological way to accomplish age verification without giving up users' identities to a service provider, or the government knowing what service you're using. Unfortunately, too many governments want to know what you're doing inside your pants.

Oh, I was thinking the certificate would only be needed for signups - once the account is created, it absolutely should be on the account holder, not the service provider.

The service provider could even generate a certificate request that the age verification entity signs (again, with no identifying information, other than "I need an age verification signature, please"). That certificate would only be valid for that specific service provider and can't be re-used.

Unfortunately, the article doesn't really compare to other collectors. My wife's bookshelves are full of a much higher cost library than my Steam library could ever hope to achieve, and many of them are still on her "TBR" list. She'll also never read those physical copies, so she's buying them twice so she can read them on her Kindle or listen on Audible.

This just looks like a standard orthographic projection with Canada near the center.

The Linksys WRT3200ACM has A/B firmware support, but unfortunately that router is starting to get a little outdated. Saved me from a couple bad upgrades, but unfortunately it died on me about 4 months ago. I updated to the Banana Pi BPI-R3, which has been great for my network speed, but was a lot more complicated to set up.

Are you trying to say you're not a fan of needing to reinstall packages after an upgrade? It's so simple with these easy to remember commands:

opkg update
cat /etc/backup/installed_packages.txt | grep overlay | sed s/\ *overlay// | xargs opkg install

Wait, I haven't seen ads on YouTube Premium (yet), and I'm just now realizing this could very likely be because Google knows my wife and I don't watch sports.

For someone inexperienced, even a "normal" dose can make you sick. A 10mg gummy made me so nauseated I vomited before I could make it to the toilet.

I'm a little confused, that's pretty typical usage of the word. Or is it because it comes across a little pretentious? As though they're just trying to cooperate with you to more easily violate your privacy.
