Wait, you provide... An ID??? Now I understand less.

Did they break the security of the blockchain or just hacked an application that stored it in a database?

This time at least was just tech bro AI crap, not fascism crap. Progress??

Still 40 euros, and under 18 you have to change it more often.

Don't you have to register to vote and a bunch of other things? Like they kick you and you have to re-register and some other shenanigans. Sounds like a mess.

Time to invest in cans of beans I guess!

It's also good for generating boilerplate, one-use scripts where maintainability doesn't count, suggesting solutions, parsing log files, writing test cases (especially if you have templates)...

Related question: why not put the threshold in the future? Like starting in 2036 you will need an ID to vote, you have 10 years to get one.

That's super expensive. Last time I got an ID (for my kids) it was something like 6 eur.

Ok, what news did I miss this time?

If it was true it would be a huge problem. The issue is it's not true. I'll refer to the xkcd from 2011 again. In the early 2000 it was even worse, you still had to consult paper books quiten often. In the 1990 I remember even finding those books was a challenge, I had to go to a book shopin a big city to find books about the topic I wanted.

Not only we are not losing knowledge, there is more everyday. More people are sharing more in more public settings with mailing lists, github issues, cves, medium, reddit, even tiktoks if you're into that. There are more tools to access this knowledge everyday, from specialized search engines, to automatic translation tools, to LLMs. And there is more ways of interacting with people who might have the knowledge if it's not already public: email, Twitter, github, discord, even YouTube comments if you want to be exotic. Lemmy if you want to rant.

You're welcome to yell at a cloud, progress is made all around.

Turquoise, you uncultured brute!
