I think the only #Fediverse apps that could comply with age verification laws (as they have the tools available) are #Threads & #WordPress (I believe commercial plugins are available for the latter).
Age verification tech is best handled by experienced third-party apps (for security reasons), but #Mississippi does not understand the risk & cost factors for complying with their law.

First ring-forming embedded planet discovered around a young sun-like star
Astronomers led by Leiden PhD candidate Richelle van Capelleveen have, for the first time, discovered an exoplanet that has carved a bright gap in the protoplanetary disc around its star.Leiden University
Carlo Bencini =/\= reshared this.
Direct imaging of exoplanets is a challenging area tackled by ground based telescopes with systems like VLT-SPHERE.
Techniques used by SPHERE and its 3 instruments include -
1. Adaptive optics to correct for the turbulent effects of the Earth’s atmosphere
2. Coronagraph to block out light from the star
3. Polarization filters (light reflected off planets is polarized).
4. Use of IR bands such as H and Ks that are translucent to earth's atmosphere.
5. Spectroscopy

ESO is the European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere. It operates the La Silla Paranal Observatory in Chile and has its headquarters in Garching, near Munich, Germany.www.eso.org
The discovery of exoplanet WISPIT 2b was followed by additional observations.
This study led by U of Arizona astronomer Laird Close used the MagAO-X system at the Magellan Telescope in Chile. It discovered a 2nd planet CC1 (mass = 9 Jupiters, distance = 15 au from the star). It also observed and measured accretion of Hydrogen by the planet from the dusty disk.

$175,000 computer server package acquired by mayor flagged as suspicious due to an apparent 1,300% markup
A recently elected mayor has brought to light a costly computer systems deal, which was signed, sealed, and delivered by their predecessor. On her Facebook page, Mayor Sally A. Lopez shares photos and documents confirming that her predecessor acquired a “10 million System Server Package.” Assuming we are talking Philippine pesos, that’s equivalent to about USD $175,000. However, the 16 systems look bargain-basement – at best – being based on old Intel 11th Generation processors, with generic case and power choices. According to our calculations, someone appears to have enjoyed a 1,300% markup.

Fedi-Mamarracheo espacial #mamarrachoespacial ACTUALIZACIÓN
12-13-14 de septiembre (horario a concretar según disponibilidad)
16 | 16 | 16
¿En qué consiste el evento?
El evento consiste en quedar en #Nomanssky con gente del fediverso. El plan inicial es:
· Quedar en la Anomalía y hacer alguna misión juntos en el Nexo
· Enseñar nuestras bases (si tenemos alguna base to flama)
· Compartir Corbeta y viajar a planetas interesantes (si hacéis base en algún sistema solar curioso, agilizáis esto)
16 | 16 | 16
Requisitos in game:
· No es necesario ser un pro del juego, pero sí es necesario haber desbloqueado la Anomalía Espacial. Es algo que se consigue muy pronto en la partida, siguiendo la misión principal. Es por ello que se da un par de semanas a interesades para que puedan alcanzar este hito. Consejos para tu primera partida: youtube.com/watch?v=EOW0hqbS3t…
· Tienes que añadir como amigue a las personas que vayan a participar en el Fedi-Mamarracheo espacial. En configuraciones de red activar el multijugador y desactivar la opción JcJ para que nadie os ataque en el multijugador. Puedes variar otras opciones para evitar que nadie te trollee tu base, por ejemplo.
· Podéis conocer más detalles del multijugador en esta guía de Oskar1up: youtube.com/watch?v=xyqr8ABdtZ… (a partir del 11:50 explica cómo ser 32 personas simultáneamente). Aunque para misiones del Nexo y compartir corbetas sólo se pueden ser 4 personas, aunque verás al resto pululando por la galaxia.
16 | 16 | 16
Cuando se acerque la fecha, tendréis que responder a una publicación como esta indicando quienes sois en el juego y código de amigue, que haré llegar al resto. Se dará el aviso a les participantes para que te borre como amigue y me chivaré por Mastodon si eres mala gente.
Para apoyar pequeños streamers, se permite que hagan streaming del evento (pero no resubir la partida a YT/peertube).
Se contempla emplear Discord para conectarnos por audio y agilizarlo todo. También hay chat de texto disponible in game.

in reply to Evan Prodromou • • •@evan I agree. It's the best way. One can meet someone (or already met them) so that's basically "verification". And this method also won't trigger Digital Privacy and Data Retention laws, and no PII leak issues later other than the usual (email, handle, and whatever the user [irresponsibly] shared)—if ever that happens.
It's better than having PII that many jurisdictions are strict about. For example, here in the Philippines, companies are not allowed to announce "Happy Birthdays" or post a list of monthly birthdays unless they acquired a written permission from their employees. Birthdays are one such PII that our Privacy law takes very seriously. We can even decline giving our birthdays in job application forms (which passes to many hands), and there's nothing they can do about it. An individual has an exclusive right to disclose their birth date.
So, yeah, a local instance is better because such scenarios like requiring age verification can be done without storing any data. In addition, only the local Privacy and Data Retention laws will apply (unless the individual is a foreign passport holder of course).

Unknown parent • • •@luca @evan From what I understand about Mississippi, regardless of the method, you must be able to be sure and able to know whether adult content can be exposed to minors. You can completely prohibit access to minors or simply control the exposure of such content. It doesn't matter how. For the UK, it is largely related to the number of users. Above a certain threshold, it is mandatory (see Wiki).
