Thank you! Fixed!
It had a redundant characterin the URL path I accidentally added during the formatting.
There are numerous options to choose from already existing… Yet, some should just consider that the recent “age verification” were initiated for another purpose than a general age verification process. Have you checked out the recent Persona source code exposed?
Regardless, some civilian approaches to be mentioned is how the verification is handled in Baltic countries, that is Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, for example:
Smart-ID is the easiest, safest and fastest way to authenticate yourself online, register in e-services and sign documents…
Smart-ID can be used to log in to e-services, for online banking and for signing documents.Source: https://www.smart-id.com/
-–
Smart-ID itself has no age restrictions for its users – but age limits have been set by identity providers and depend on the Smart-ID account type and authentication method chosen…
Creating a Smart-ID account for a minor requires a parent/legal guardian to authenticate their account…
Don’t just click “continue”: read the instructions on the screen carefully and double check that all the information you enter is correct, and the whole process will be easy and stress-free… The child cannot continue with their registration until we’ve got one parent approval…
For the API, for instance:
# Where can I find users date of birth?
Birth of date is encoded into personal identity code. Latvian new personal identity code format is exception though. Special birth of date field will be added to Smart-ID certificates in stages and only for Qualified accounts.
For convinience
smart-id-java-clientandsmart-id-php-clienthave special functiongetDateOfBirth… for that. For getting that info directly from certificate seegetDateOfBirthCertificateAttributeandgetDateOfBirthFromCertificateField.Similar to Latvia, the number of Estonia and Lithuania has the date of infinitely magnificent event as someone’s date of birth, too!
The ways in which such a system is implemented vary among countries, but in most cases citizens are issued an identification number upon reaching legal age, or when they are born…
In Estonia, a Personal Identification Code (Estonian: isikukood, abbreviated as IK) is formed on the basis of the sex and date of birth of a person…
In Lithuania the Personal Code (Lithuanian: asmens kodas) consists of 11 digits, and currently is in the form G YYMMDD NNN C, where G is gender & birth century, YYMMDD is the birthday, NNN is a serial number, C is a checksum digit…
/* ... */ C = lt_nin_checksum("3840915201");Therefore, there should be an option to verify the age without the personal identification code. And if not, just a personal number got within the age verification scope, transferred within secure government session channel, should be enough. The government, in turn, won’t share such information with untrusted services - access to the API.

Wait… there’s no LLM/AI nonsensical utter bloody-void horrible mess?
My gracious holy smokes… THANK YOU!!! Thank you… from the very depths of my heart… and soul… for making something that is actually important… that is for human…Thank you, dear @expyth0n@lemmy.world for the marvel… art… you do…
There’s still belief in effort, education, human, art… in the purpose…
0·4 days agoThe origins of my 20-year art career were not that different from many other artists. I started learning the craft by seeking out inspirational artworks, and it is something I continue to do…
Inaccurate reproductions of art can betray the intentions that artists had for their works. Inaccurate reproductions of art can betray the intentions that artists had for their works. Artists use their passions to create original art, with the intention of offering the viewer a unique vision and experience.
As an artist, I spend a good deal of time determining the best way to approach my work. Coming up with the original idea is just the first step. I also have to consider which medium would be best to explore the idea, materials to use with it, and the size of the work. Imagine how insignificant a landscape would be on a postcard, or how ridiculously terrifying a wall-sized closeup of a single human eye would be. I also consider if I want to paint in a lot of detail, or leave the brush strokes more open.
All of these thoughts, and many more, are planned in an effort to get a reaction emotionally from the viewer…A reproduction can show the general idea of art, but it can not offer the unique experience of reflecting on the full story that an original piece offers. Original artworks feature textures, lighting differences, and environments evoking the emotions that the artist intended.
Seeing an original piece of art in a museum is a unique, transcendent experience, substantially better than any reproduction could possibly be. With reproductions being produced with the wrong resolution, terrible and inaccurate colors, and of bad quality, the experience of seeing reproduced art betrays the emotion and intent that the artist wanted to create.
The original artwork can educate about techniques, colors, and even movements within art history. Original pieces offer admiration of the artist, and reflection for the viewer, in unique and environmental ways that simply are not possible online or with printed reproductions.To truly see artwork, to find the experience that the artist wanted the viewer to have, finding the original piece of art is the best way to live through artwork.

0·6 days agoWe show that large language models can be used to perform at-scale deanonymization.
With full Internet access, our agent can re-identify Hacker News users and Anthropic Interviewer participants at high precision, given pseudonymous online profiles and conversations alone, matching what would take hours for a dedicated human investigator. We then design attacks for the closed-world setting.
Given two databases of pseudonymous individuals, each containing unstructured text written by or about that individual, we implement a scalable attack pipeline that uses LLMs to:
-1.extract identity-relevant features,
-2.search for candidate matches via semantic embeddings, and
-3.reason over top candidates to verify matches and reduce false positives…Our second dataset matches users across Reddit movie discussion communities; and the third splits a single user’s Reddit history in time to create two pseudonymous profiles to be matched. In each setting, LLM-based methods substantially outperform classical baselines, achieving up to 68% recall at 90% precision compared to near 0% for the best non-LLM method.
Our results show that the practical obscurity protecting pseudonymous users online no longer holds and that threat models for online privacy need to be reconsidered…

I don’t know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public; they forget that invisibility is a superpower…

Thank you very much for the care and response! I’ve followed the idea @hector@lemmy.today shared, and hope to receive a response from Reddit, eventually. I wish you a great and safe day!
Thank you very much for sharing about the /r/ShadowBan Community! I’ve read their pages, and the tutorial regarding appealing, and it the form at /appeal does indeed offer a field for submission!
Previously, I used the second appealing method, likely powered by ZenDesk. but no response. Yet, it is the first time I used the aforementioned form, and I hope to receive response eventually!
Regarding the ban-evasions (multiple accounts, Emails), I had a quite sorrowful case with it on Freenode/Libera IRC, where an operator (I would name them… but won’t - it feels impolite, since they are not here), had been banning me for literally unknown reason at least 8 times in a few months, and for weeks, in the channel
#linux. I’ve been in this channel since at least 2007, and these bans not only caused me much worries, but I just tried to realize the reason. I wrote them in private - nothing.
Here, I a created new account at Freenode, they banned me, too (Linux Community prohibits “alts”). I created another, and got a network K-line. Created another - got another K-line, and here I damaged my reputation in the channels who saw the K-line on the network, to such a low level I still try to recover. And when you try explaining the matter, it gets only worse…Just a few believe you on IRC if you get K-lined. After a year of making a mental pause< I re-joined, and got almost instantly ridiculed by another member who recalled me being “banned so many times”, yet what I could do? No one listened to me and no one believed I had no idea why that operator was banning me in the first place, including other operators.
What is interesting is that this operator is not an operator anymore the last time I checked, though 4 years have passed since.
Regardless… Thank you, and please do stay safe, too! 🛡
I never got a response from Reddit regarding my account unknown state, too - https://www.reddit.com/user/serious_angel
I’d been using that account for years, and I can use it, and I do now. I do comment, vote, save bookmarks etc.
I’ve tried contacting the official Reddit via Email, and their automation tells to write them using the website form. I tried that too, at least 8 times over 4 recent years - no response. Never.
After several attempts, I tried sending messages to moderators in general Communities like /r/Laravel or /r/AskReddit, and I received response from them only, in a built-in chat, but when I try responding back - Error. Their response was to contact the official support, obviously.
Meanwhile, the account is marked as “banned”, if I am not mistaken, yet I never ever did anything to get banned in the first place I believe. I awarded other comments with money, purchased “NFT” avatars, so I contributed monetarily to the platform, too.
It just, all of a sudden, got “banned”, and for literally unknown reason.I realized that after years only, too! People don’t even see my comments, and I had been commenting for at least a year before even realizing no one sees them! I accidentally noticed that when tried surfing to my account via “incognito mode”, and since then I’ve been trying to figure out what is wrong - yet no response from the official Reddit support, after multiple attempts writing them…
It’s all unseen (for others) My current profile Frequent errors 
Oh! I see! Just in case, Traefik has great options for debugging, and logging (e.g. TRACE log level)! Not to mention custom plugins! There’s a great Discourse based forum, and there’s both IRC and Discord Communities, too! Though, you might have already checked those!
