That is true. Sadly this is the direction society is going and it’s depressing.

What I understood is that the code of the app would be open so it can be Independently checked. It sucks that it comes to this and there will be a choice between plague and cholera, but I would rather have this approach than use 3rd party age verification services.

It was just announced that the targeted solution is a Zero Knowledge approach, where the website just receives a simple “not underage” without any additional information from a mini-wallet. This would be a solution that I could stand behind as it doesn’t use any 3rd party services for age verification. It’s akin to the COVID certificate.

Well, my vacuum robot is integrated into home assistant, but I use valetudo so it’s only connected to local WiFi. Air quality graphs I also have but also connected via zinger so I don’t broadcast my data and don’t have any holes in my system that I’m not responyfor and can’t patch.

I mean that’s a really cool hack, but why in the world would a humidifier need a cloud connection?!?
