Something like 15% comes from the federal government, 13% from state government, and 3% from local government. Roughly a third from the government in total:

I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine. Here in the Netherlands, DuckDuckGo results are poor for anything local. I fall back to Google relatively frequently, although for day to day stuff it's quite okay. I do often head straight to Wikipedia....
Same in the Netherlands.
If you like them, you can just buy one for your home. Expensive, but probably a better option than the murder you suggest.
Do you watch your children every minute they are online? Poor kids!
While care is required, designing a system that only proves that someone is over a specific age is possible without leaking much additional information.
For example a request for age verification can be generated and signed by the porn site. All it needs is a unique ID and the signature. It should expire quickly and can only be used once.
The person identifying themself can send this request to a certifying party (the government in the EU where we trust governments, or I guess some terrible for profit company in the USA because they privatize everyday). The certifying party can sign the request, since they know how old the person is.
The person then returns this verification to the porn site.
In this scenario the porn site never learns anything about the user other than that they are above a given age. The certifying party only knows that the person has gotten an age verification, but not why or where.
There is still possible collusion between the porn site and the verifying party, but in that case the system is not really needed at all. Also metadata tracking is possible (like when a person gets a request and has network traffic to a porn site), but can be mitigated if a user is concerned.
Batteries for phones sold in the EU will all be replaceable within 3.5 years:
The new rules foresee that batteries will need to be easier to remove and replace, while consumers are better informed. Portable batteries in appliances should be designed so that users can easily remove and replace them. This requirement will become mandatory three-and-a-half years after the rules enter into force.
The EU actually forced companies to help consumers, so they are already planning to comply... even Apple.
You say, "I've not encountered a communist...", like that is a good thing. Let me fix that for you
I'm a communist. Companies would be better off if they were owned by workers rather than rich people. You know, workers owning the means of production, instead of capitalists?
Hopefully this hasn't ruined your Lemmy experience!
The article only covers unsigned 32-bit numbers, so floating point division would be fine.
In the old days, one would pay a small monthly fee and then you have your own website where you could basically do anything legal that you want. Is this no longer possible?
Or join the EFF which already does great work in this area. They don't always succeed, but I doubt a GoFundMe could do better.
