Age verification in social media is just the beginning. We have to fight against identification with teeth and claws.

Colorado Lawmakers Push for Age Verification at the Operating System Level

Rather than having people verify their age on every app they use, Colorado's SB26-051 would implement a way for devices to share an 'age-bracket' signal to third-party apps.

I've given up on trying to learn #Rust. It's just not for me, my brain cannot parse it.

Somewhat recently I switched to using the FLX1s Linux phone (from an Android phone).

The FLX1s is a privacy oriented phone, that is an open platform, built on open-source software, where I am in control of it.

One thing that I find makes using it better is — having these 3 app stores installed:

• Software
• F-Droid
• Aurora Store
