A digital "Death penalty" is not a win for society, without considering a fair way to atone for "crimes against your digital identity".
It would be way to easy for the current regime (whomever that happens to be) to criminalize random behaviors (Trans People? Atheists? Random nationality?) to ban their identity, and then they can't apply for jobs, get bus fare, purchase anything online, communicate with their lawyers, etc.
Describing “I don’t want to provide service to you and I should have the means of doing so” as a “digital death penalty” is a tad hyperbolic, don’t you think?

Authoritarian regimes can already do that.
I think perhaps you might’ve missed the fact that what I was suggesting was individual to each service:
> Reputation plus privacy is probably unsolvable; the whole point of reputation is knowing what people are doing elsewhere. You don’t need reputation, you need persistence. You don’t need to know if they are behaving themselves elsewhere on the Internet as long as you can ban them once and not have them come back.
I was saying don’t care about what people are doing elsewhere on the Internet. Just ban locally – but persistently.
Something like ELinks could be created by writing a simple TUI on top of the Servo engine. Then it would be able to handle even complex Web pages full of JavaScript which is a huge chunk of the modern Internet.
IIRC -- the 15.ai dev was training on fan-made "My Little Pony" transcriptions, specificaly because they included more emotive clues in the transcription, and supported a syntax to control the emotive aspect of the speech.
> During this phase, 15 discovered the Pony Preservation Project, a collaborative project started by /mlp/, the My Little Pony board on 4chan.[47] Contributors of the project had manually trimmed, denoised, transcribed, and emotion-tagged thousands of voice lines from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and had compiled them into a dataset that provided ideal training material for 15.ai.[48]
Jeff is a hobbyist in that he has no formal technical training or professional experience with electronics engineering (unless you count youtube shenanigans as such).
Not much of a hobbyist in the sense that he earns (part of) his income from dabbling with RPis. And for the rest of his income, uses them to simulate larger clusters, which he writes books and consults about.
Generally, hobbies are activities where one sees loss not profit.
Just to help future readers, there is an ecosystem of "tus" uploaders and endpoints, that chunk uploads, and feature resumeable uploads, that would be ideal for this kind of restriction:
> TACAMO (take charge and move out) is the back up communications system to the US nuclear submarine fleet in case an attack on land based transmitters disables them. A rotating fleet of Navy E6 jets equipped with 200 KW transmitters and two 2½-mile-long trailing wire antennas (TWA) at 35,000 ft altitude to provide 24/7 coverage. Short pings are transmitted every few seconds.
Regarding "longer antenna" for submarines... -- I recently learned about this signal from https://www.sigidwiki.com/ -- which has been helpful to ID all the fun stuff you can see with RTLSDR
The cost of that must be insane - the price tag of being about the only military force on this rock capable of projecting force and delivering utter devastation 24/7/365 any place any time even if the entirety of the US got glassed.
These sort of restrictions also often interfere with accessibility and screen readers.
Either the screen reader is built into the OS as signed + trusted (and locks out competition in this space), or it's a pluggable interface, that opens an attack surface to read secure parts of the screen.
Even then, for age verification, just verify the ID, record + sign the verification, and DESTROY THE DATA! Don't retain the original document "just in case", or even the birthday or name.
