Why not make a simple API to that digital ID that would be a simple yes/no to any app or web page's query (permission permitting) to whether or not the user is over X age?
Your suggestion is defeated by parents' habit of handing a phone to a child as a digital babysitter. It's how we lost comment sections on animated videos on YouTube in December 2019.
Until 2009, no other device could play iTunes Store purchases, and there weren't a lot of other legal downloadable music stores. This was one factor for the iPod to iPhone progression. Another was that Google required cellular telephony support in all certified Android devices prior to sometime in the 2.3 "Gingerbread" cycle, which made it impossible to make a direct counterpart to the iPod touch.
If you're using apple music you can play it directly from the phone itself, you don't need itunes at all.
You can play Apple Music from the Music app on the phone. Unless I missed something, you can't play it from other apps on the phone. And the Music app can't play files written by libimobiledevice, only the music library. You need iTunes to send music to the phone in a form that the Music app can play.
My roommate tried that patch with my help, and iTunes stopped being able to sync purchased music to her iPhone.
I researched online and found these limits:
- iTunes app for Windows uses a driver called Apple Mobile Device Service to sync to an iPhone, which (like other drivers) Wine cannot run
- libimobiledevice for Linux can sync files but cannot update the music library
- The Music app included with iOS can play only music from the music library and cannot import files
- VLC app can play music from files but cannot play rented music from her Apple Music family plan, making it impossible to mix the two in a playlist

What is the safe and effective treatment for gender dysphoria?
I'm starting to think prevention of gender dysphoria has to occur on a social level. It would start with cracking down on parents and K-12 teachers who perpetuate gender stereotypes ("you're not allowed to do this because you're a boy") to children in their care.
(adoption doesn't count)
Given the right wing's crackdown on abortion on a fetal personhood theory, why shouldn't adoption be promoted?
I own only one Monster cable. And that's because Monster's component cable for Wii was less expensive than Nintendo's.
The first version of Kodi ran on an Xbox console with 64 MB of RAM.
Over time, the Walmart greeter's responsibilities expanded to what is now the "customer host" position. Because some of these new responsibilities were somewhat physical, some associates with disabilities were moved to self checkout host or other front-end positions.
I understood it as a lack of dependency on an ongoing service provided by someone else.
Perhaps this is a golden opportunity for civic minded programmers to spend some time getting WINE to the point where most users can comfortably run WINE instead of Windows XX.
Wine runs in user space. I don't see how Wine could ever run drivers, such as peripheral drivers required by things like the iPhone sync functionality of iTunes or kernel-level anti-cheat required by major online games supporting pickup matches with strangers.
People who use software that requires Windows are "forced" to buy Windows along with a new PC. An OEM Windows 10 license that came with a PC is locked to that PC. A new PC purchased to replace a PC that cannot be upgraded to Windows 11 will come with a new Windows license.
Start with stage0 (whose binary seed is about 1 KiB) and GNU Mes. Use mescc to build tinycc, then GCC 2.95, then GCC 4.7, then fairly modern GCC, and then use mrustc to build some version of Rust. The time-consuming part is that each version of the Rust toolchain uses fairly new features in the Rust language, so yes, you'll probably have to build the world a couple dozen times starting with the most recent version supported by mrustc.
If I had to guess, we let this happen by the USA electing George W. Bush in 2000. His incoming Attorney General settled United States v. Microsoft Corp., 253 F.3d 34 (D.C. Cir. 2001), with a wrist slap instead of a Windows division breakup.
So what's the basis of the lawsuit against Disney? There's no damages, so equitable relief? Of what?
You probably guessed correctly: equitable relief in the form of an injunction against Disney bringing a trademark lawsuit. I haven't read the complaint, but I'd be surprised if it didn't cite Kellogg and Dastar.
The Supreme Court of the United States has decided a few cases about the interaction between the Lanham Act, which inclues trademark law, and exclusive rights pursuant to the Copyright Clause. Key cases includes Kellogg Co. v. National Biscuit Co., 305 U.S. 111 (1938), and Dastar Corp. v. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp., 539 U.S. 23 (2003). In both cases, the Court ruled that the Lanham Act cannot be used to extend the effective term of exclusive rights in an invention whose patent has expired or a work whose copyright has expired. Disney's legal counsel ought to be familiar with the latter case, seeing as it involved a company that is now a subsidiary of Disney.
From the article:
The Go project recently arranged for Go itself to be completely reproducible given only the source code, meaning that although a build needs some computer running some operating system and some earlier Go toolchain, none of those choices matters."
[...]
The Multics review is famous for pointing out the possibility of adding a back door to a compiler to insert back doors in critical system programs during compilation [...]. Reading the report inspired Ken Thompson to implement exactly that attack on an early Unix system, probably in early 1975. He later explained the attack in his 1983 Turing Award lecture, published in Communications as "Reflections on Trusting Trust."
David A. Wheeler described a defense against a back door that propagates through the compiler in a 2009 PhD dissertation titled Fully Countering Trusting Trust through Diverse Double-Compiling . Diverse double-compiling (DDC) involves choosing two or more other independently developed compilers A and B for a language, bootstrapping compiler C from source code through each of them (building C with A or B and then building C with itself), and ensuring that the output is byte-identical. This relies on previous effort to make builds reproducible.
However, DDC also relies on having more than one implementation of a particular language. Go and Rust each have only one widely used implementation. This means someone trying to wrangle a supply chain has to do one of three things: trust a particular old version of a compiler not to have a back door, compile every version since the dawn of the language (such as when Rust was prototyped in OCaml), or implement a usable subset of the language in a more widely implemented language. This is why mrustc is so important, as it's a way to skip forward by several years' worth of versions when bootstrapping a Rust compiler.
When some people discover the truth, they just can't understand why everybody isn't eager to hear it.
