5·6 months agoIt is a prototype.
Their development roadmap specifically mentions Android AND iOS versions…
I haven’t reviewed the whole thing, only small parts but it does look to handle online verification better (re: invasiveness).
There is a section talking about a prototype app already released that is used to store age. It verifies off a couple different government docs (ID, bank details, upcoming Digital ID), but in the end only stores the user’s age (no name, ID, birth date, or other details). The fact page for the app claims that once age is established there is no further contact between the user and age verifier, but of course this is where I likely see the issue with any age verification tool. It’ll depend on whether the verification tool trashes age-related data once done with it, or if they retain a copy for whatever reasons.
Proof of age is tied to the age required per country per activity, but this sounds far more reasonable than having a single company verify and manage age data (Persona in the US).

Very excited for when I get cut off in my 2030 Polestar 3 and can adjust my honk volume dial all the way to 11 before Family Feud smashing that sucker through my dash and into the gates of hell.
It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this.
Kinda blends two different internet memes.

I’d recommend you go read / view both of the sources yourself, they’re each great in their own unique ways.
SPOILERS AHEAD
Tap for spoiler
The Enigma (shortened the name, sue me) is an older manga about the discovery of a collection of human shaped holes in the side of a mountain. Two prominent characters in the story find holes that look to be carved specifically for their body type / size, and question whether they should go in “their” holes. I really don’t want to ruin the premise and conclusion here, as I really think you should read it yourself, but the story’s horror factor centers around the compulsion to enter “your hole”. You don’t know where it goes, or what’ll happen at the other end (if there is one). You may never get back out of your hole, but also your curiosity as to why it was made for you and what will happen if you go in weighs on your mind.
The Square Hole is a newer TikTok reaction video about a girl getting visibly more and more distressed as the original video’s narrator continues to put all the varied shape blocks from the set into the same hole. The first couple are correctly placed, but then each next block (that should go in “their own” hole) is put into the same single square hole. Funny responses from the girl reacting, and a generally wholesome video.
I kinda hate the fact I understand this meme. I’m gonna go outside and touch some grass now.
