    RE: https://mastodon.social/@Sarahp/117009874643003727 Sounds like a scattergun approach to find The Next Big Thing™ Count me out – on principle.

    Google open sources their Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) libraries to support age ID verification. 1. Authenticate your birth date with a trusted authority (the Issuer) and receive a cryptographically signed digital certificate. 2. A website requiring an age ID sends you a random maths puzzle. 3. The ZKP library solves the puzzle with your digital cert and replies with the proof. 4. Using the Issuers Public Cert the website validates the proof. #security #ageID #ZKP https://blog.google/innovation...

    Tried browsing my local instance live feed this morning. Don&amp;#39;t do that often enough.

    _&amp;quot;Telco broadband contracts in North America have an average monthly cost of $98.40. The US is ranked 167th out of the 214 countries studied&amp;quot;&amp;quot;_ That seem expensive, but they don&amp;#39;t say what you get for that money. I&amp;#39;m paying £42.99 ($58.17) per month in the UK for a 500 Mbps fibre link. #uk #us #broadband #internet https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/16/iran_cheapest_broadband/

    Meet Olaf. Not just a fun recreation of a much loved Disney character, but also a self regulating animatronic marvel that makes decisions on what and how to move to manage captured heat. 🤯 #disney #olaf #robot #animatronics https://youtube.com/shorts/zi0xi_UwvBU?si=nJd2rxrlaidA1Xq1

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/116325566595306536 I have no sympathy. Using a phone while driving kills other innocent road users. What if his car had hit a passing child after he&amp;#39;d lost control of it. 😬

    Ellie&amp;#39;s story is quite inspirational and I think she&amp;#39;d appreciate a bit of support, so I&amp;#39;m giving her a boost. Would appreciate it if you could boost to help too. Thanks. https://youtube.com/shorts/smv_G4hbd6w?si=uJZmFbOA1IMUxgbu Her fundraising page is: https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/ellie-maries-giving-page-5 #uk #cancer #pain #charity

    I just signed a petition calling on the UK government to scrap anti-protest laws which attack our hard won democratic freedoms. Please can you defend the right to protest too by signing the petition? https://act.gp/42Gqvia #uk #ukpol #protest
