I did it 2001, I can restore it from memory 2026. As I did research about the state of the tech: now what was novelty then now is at the core, ready and humming. So proper #agever can be implemented the same way as in 2001, just all needed infrastructure already is in place. You can have age verification for your kid without puting whole adult population dancing to the skynet camers on their way to wikipedia.
Is anybody from the pleiade of NGOs "fighting for freedom" willing to fed me for a month and put a younger MBP on my lap? Or is it all about chasing the rabbit and sending the fundraiser junk emails? PM me.
