Who would have thought that there is actually an online media platform dedicated to professional networking? Well not me, until recently 😄 I was really using the wrong platform apparently…

Anyone has an idea for these very high volume noises in #Auckland city? are there fireworks?

I have been bothered by a lot of random things I am seeing on this platform. Seeing many people making the move to the “blue space”, I now mostly migrated there too. It’s great there to be seeing what I want to see without a lot of noise. See you on the other side!

I officially now have the easiest to explain example of a use case of zero-knowledge proofs: how to prove that you’re old enough to use social media in Australia while preserving privacy otherwise
