Piefuckers

I haven’t seen a “37” in an analog clock.

There’s a 7, there’s 8, and there are four spaces (which may or may not be marked) in between them.

??? There’s also no 40 on a clock. And what, are you only able to read a clock to an accuracy of 5 minutes…?

analog clocks all my life—which, again, is not something that should be assumed nowadays

bullshit. Everyone knows how to read them, and they are everywhere.

I was told to “count by fives”. Hence: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 00.

Now, when we were taught the multiplication table for 5 (maybe it’s just my teacher) we revisited how to read off minutes from the clock (digital displays are still rare back then).

I guess we just had different lessons.

And if it’s pointed to 37, a prime number? Do you have to have your tables memorized up to 37x37 to be able to read that?

It’s knowing how to count, at best. But out of curiosity, do you really go “long pointer at 8, 8x5=40” internally when reading the clock?

I’d imagine most people would just go “40”.

Case in point: in school, we learned how to read a clock before we learned anything at all about multiplication.

What, and I mean this in all sincerity, the fuck?

Sorry, but: where in that is multiplication involved?

I just started working at a new place, and my closest coworker has my deadname. Threw me for like half a second, but hasn’t been an issue at all otherwise.

Bonjour from the German/Belgian border!

I live right at the German border, but not in Germany. I am German. I’d shrug, since by your rules I remain German.

• LLMs are a complete dead end when it comes to actual intelligence, understanding, or sentience
• constant fearmongering from decades of media makes you afraid of sentient AI. I think it’s important to recognize that. I’m willing to bet that if people would have grown up with, say, Iain Banks’ Culture instead of Terminator, the idea of sentient AI would be exciting. (Not a value judgement, just pointing it out.)

Semmel

I bike (more carrying capacity) about 9km each direction. (Belgium to Germany, funnily enough.) That being said, not wanting to do so under the burning sun is absolutely valid.

Consider this me asking

Fair, maybe remove the question altogether, and have dedicated GOV endpoints for specific attestations?

While that’s true from a technical perspective…

How/where do you keep the certificate? If you either need an app for it, or need to manually install it on your device, most users would probably be out. The benefit of my suggestion is that you need absolutely nothing except a way to authenticate with GOV.

2. is a Problem with all of these, that’s for sure.

I fjnt get the part about the info service tbh

As long as your browser saves an auth token or something for GOV somewhere, all of that can happen without user interaction.

I think that at the bare minumum, the PORN<->GOV connection must not occur. How about this (simplified):

• USER visits porn site
• PORN site encrypts random nonce + “is this user 18?” with GOV pubkey
• PORN forwards that to USER
• USER forwards that to GOV, together with something authenticating themselves (need to have GOV account)
• GOV knows user is requesting, but not what for
• GOV checks: is user 18?, concats answer with random nonce from PORN, hashes that with known algo, signs the entire thing with its private signing key
• GOV returns that to USER
• USER forwards that to PORN
• PORN is able to verify that whoever made the request to visit PORN is verified as older than 18 by singing key holder / GOV, by checking certificate chain, and gets freshness guarantee from random nonce
• but PORN does not know anything about the user

There’s probably glaring issues with this, this is just from the top of my head to solve the problem of “GOV should know nothing”.

I mean, yea. But it is also easy to buy them, they’re everywhere and fairly cheap. The Galbani one is also just 1€ or so more expensive.

To be clear, making your own is fantastic, it’s just not anything I’d want to do 2x/week

Mozzarella (talking about the balls of fresh mozzarella you get sealed in with their brine).

Can’t do store brand anymore after having tried Galbani.
