Making the certs short-lived (a few minutes) and single use and having a rate limit for users could make it difficult enough with serious risks (if you make it a crime) for little profit (I doubt many kids will pay serious amounts of money to watch porn; definetly not drug-scale amounts of money).
“Kids shouldn’t be driving cars, it isn’t safe!” Yes, but somehow we have made it 100 years without requiring proof of age/license to start the car.
Driving is a much more visible activity than looking at your phone in a locked room though.
Signups + random checks to prevent reselling accounts.
They can only subpoena your data if it is stored. Make the code open source (by law) and only store the cert, no connection to the user.
How do you prevent valid certs from being sold?
Sold by whom? The created cert can be time limited and single use, so the service couldn’t really sell them. You could rate limit how many certs users can create and obviously make it illegal to share them in order to deter people from using them. That’s not enough to prevent it completetly, but should be an improvement for the use cases I hear the most about: social media (because it reduces the network effect) and porn (because kids will at least know that they’re doing some real shady shit).
Maybe DOGGO got involved - the Department Of Gross Government Overspending.
I’m currently working on a project that has been optimized from the start. No one understands the state of objects or what is supposed to happen in which order (because the lead implemented his own special way of lazy loading). So we have a lot of bugs and everyone is always double checking everything, killing any optimization that might have been there.
The causative agent and vector were identified in 1903 by David Bruce, and the subspecies of the protozoa were differentiated in 1910. Bruce had earlier shown that T. brucei was the cause of a similar disease in horses and cattle that was transmitted by the tsetse fly (Glossina morsitans).[66]
The first effective treatment, atoxyl, an arsenic-based drug developed by Paul Ehrlich and Kiyoshi Shiga, was introduced in 1910, but blindness was a serious side effect.

Maybe you confuse it with something else (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encephalitis_lethargica )?
Oh, so just the collapse of current civilisation. That’s happened many, many times already.
Collapse of local civilizations has happened a lot of times. Collapse of the global civilization has not happened yet. And previous collapses happened often improved the living conditions for big parts of the population, because they were farmers who no longer had to support the ruling classes after the collapse. Collapse of food production and distribution when e.g. only 1% of the population are professional farmers (in Germany) will be fundamentally different.
And exactly no one (in the article or this thread) said you should never drink alcohol.
It’s just that for a very long time we were told that some alcohol was healthy, when in fact it is causing cancer (among other things). That sounds like some releveant info to me when I make the decision to drink alcohol or not.
For me, “primitive” is not the main problem (though I’m getting a bit sick of pixel art), it’s more blue-green hue is off-putting. It might match the theme of an alien planet, but it lokks like it would give me headache or something.
I’m getting redirected to https://gdpr.tubi.tv/ where it says it’s not available “in your area” (probably the EU).
7.797 (most of them probably interesting movies, series, albums).
I just found out how to put them all in a list and ordered them by age - the oldest ones are from 2003. IMDB is the sixth-oldest. Another intersting old one is https://brickfilms.com/.
The only thing in Arboretun’s scoring that might be difficult at first is that you need to have the most points for a tree type in hand in order to score that tree type at all. And at the same time you need to have played some cards of this tree type, so you actually have something to score ;)
The details of scoring can be (and probably should be) shown in a player aid:
meaning leftist pacificists and leftist radicals shouldn’t condemn each others’ tactics
You can be radical and a pacifist. Framing it otherwise sounds like typical Judean People’s Front bullshit to me… /s
In Germany we say “Friedlich oder militant - wichtig ist der Widerstand”, and I think that’s beautiful.
My goal is to have a game that I can carry around with me, walk up to people I meet in public, and ask them to play.
Is it just about portability or do you also need a small playing area?
I want the game to be strategic with minimal luck but simple enough that a first time player could reasonably win against someone experienced.
Those goals are at odds. If there’s minimal luck, there’s little room for the new player to win in a strategic game.
That being said:
I was using the wording of OP who seems to be talking about tokens. The service asks the trusted entity if the token is valid, the trusted entity deletes the token after the first time.
