I agree with you, but unfortunately it seems big tech can already scrape people's data without permission and without paying license fees.

Even without NAT, the same hole punching techniques must be used for IPv6 since there is usually a firewall blocking inbound traffic. Only in CGNAT type scenarios where the network behind NAT is still "WAN" will be helped by IPv6.

Instead of the client sending the user's age to the server, why not make the server send a minimum age to the client? The client is welcome to block content without disclosing personal information to the server. This is as secure as sending an unverified age to the servet.

The part about stories is not true. When sending a story you can choose who to send it to. To make it easier you can even put people in groups

This has been my editor for a long while. I can highly recommend it; it is VSCode but without the bullshit.

It should be noted that VSCodium uses a different marketplace for extensions. This third party marketplace does not have (obviously) proprietary Microsoft extensions. Some extensions can still be installed by downloading the .vsix from the official marketplace, but other extensions actively block being installed on "non-official" VSCode.

For Python I recommend basedpyright as an alternative to Pyright/Pylance.

Huh, how do you unintentionally ship a Linux kernel in a container image? The common base images definitely don't contain the kernel.

Do you know about BOSL2? It can do rounding or chamfering very easily.
