This, I assume? https://github.com/frida/frida That is indeed a bit eyebrow-raising. Though they do offer pre-built binaries.

ALso for stuff like this, I can highly recommend the Nix package manager, even if you are not on NixOS. There it would, for example, just be nix run nixpkgs#frida-tools, from any distro.

But I know you’re not OP. Would actually be interesting what exactly they tried to install.

pip and cargo are not intended as (system) package managers. Your target package may of course have dependencies on them, but from the way you described it it sounds like that’s what you attempted?

No. As the other person said. The answers to the zkp do not refer to each other. All the site knows is SOME user was not 18 yesterday, and today SOME user is 18 (or 24… or 89…). No relation between the two zkps/certs.

There isn’t one. Local, on-device zero knowledge proof in a cross-platform OSS app. You scan your ID’s NFC tag, once. Site only gets “is over 18 y/n” info. We all already have these IDs and they are used for a bunch of stuff, from doing taxes to creating bank accounts.

This doesn’t make a call to government servers.

The app (or desktop application BTW, incl. Linux) reads your national ID’s NFC tag, once. When you need to prove your age, the app locally computes a zkp that only tells the site “at least 18yo yes/no”.

Note that every EU country has a form of national ID, and the digital capabilities of these IDs are already used for a bunch of stuff (e.g. taxes, bank account creation,…). This doesn’t worsen the privacy situation for EU citizens, but instead ensures that no privacy-unfriendly solutions emerge.

Agreed. The “parents are too blame” crowd is insane to me. How are you gonna control what your kid does on the wifi hotspot Derek in the last row on the school bus created?

The app (open source, cross platform, completely locally, no photo id, no 3rd parties involved) only provides sites with a yes/no on “is person over 18?”, via an on-device zkp.

So good luck pitching a solution that is more privacy friendly than this, because this is pretty much the perfect solution. I’m honestly elated that the EU is releasing this, because it means I’ll NOT need to deal with privacy-nightmare situations like in other countries where legislation came before a technical solution. This lays a fantastic baseline for the EU to force companies to use THIS solution for age verification, essentially killing the data harvesters dead.

Astrology is not real.

This is the one true answer.

Just an IP, nothing else. And easily curlable.

It always feels like YouTube is double dipping though. Not with what the post is about; that’s either/or, obviously.

But Google makes a nice profit collecting user data and behavior, and then selling that to advertising companies. That happens regardless of using an adblocker, and I’d be shocked if it doesn’t also happen regardless of YT premium.

But at the same time, Google also IS an advertising company; they use their user data collection platform to also show ads to users, getting paid again.

So personally, even if YT wasn’t owned and operated by a shitstain of a capitalist eldritch horror company, I’d still have zero qualms blocking all their ads: they’re making money off of me regardless.

Yeah, not having ads in the phone app, the TV app, the music app on the phone or in the browser is really nice, I love it. Also got that for all my friends and family.

Never paid YouTube a dime though :)

Tale your AI shit out of here

Oh right, yes. Sorry.

The (edit: second) Osaka one is just sad. Grief sucks.

If you use nixos, you basically have to know/learn/use day-to-day the nix language.

nixpkgs are written using nix the language, using concepts mostly familiar from just using nixos.

Basically everyone using nixos is capable of contributing packages.

Ah, sorry. https://repology.org/repositories/graphs

Just gonna leave this here

That’s a really well argued paragraph. But have you considered: why pet shaped if not for petting?

(Jokes aside though. Point taken. But there’s nothing you can say to keep me from talking to them in baby talk from now on when I’m out gardening amongst them. Who’s a big stripey boy? Yes you are, aren’t you? :))

Yes

Wait I can PET BUMBLEBEES?!

I’d be weirded the fuck out if a stranger came up to me on the street and said “did you know McDonalds sells hamburgers?”. I’d probably think they were erratic and dangerous.

…would you look at that! Your analogy does work after all!
