Dear fediverse,
In #Portugal, and several other European countries, new laws are in the making to implement age verification on the internet. On the discussions about it, the topic of EU Digital Identity Wallet, and its age verification scheme, comes up. But the knowledge about it is very low, causing unnecessary and repetitive discussions, noise that prevents more useful discussions.
My question is: do you know (and can you share) good resources about how EUDI - and its age verification - works? Non-tech articles, images, graphics, workflows, videos, anything you think might be helpful, please share in a comment below.
The best conversations are informed conversations: thank you for your help! 🙏
The Sovereign Tech Agency is exploring how to better support open source maintainers and contributors who are actively working on technology standards relevant to their open source infrastructure projects.
Open standards are foundational to a healthy open source ecosystem. They enable interoperability, enhance digital sovereignty, foster competition and innovation and ensure that critical digital infrastructure remains accessible and serves the public interest.

They see empathy as a sickness, a weakness, because they cannot imagine anyone not out for themselves.
There’s not much time, but maybe, just maybe, that blindness to the power of caring for others will be their undoing.
Minnesota is standing strong, far stronger than they expected.
From far away, I stand with them. You should too.

Alex Petti and Renee Good have become the people America knows, as another fight unfolds around us. They are far from the first to fall, and the empathy felt for them may feel hollow to those who heard names in that grim recital months or years ago. But they are calling out an empathy that is directly counter to the jingoistic fear and the empty claims of supremacy from the authoritarians in Trump’s necrotic regime.
