I don't want help "proving who I am online". I want to pay in hard cash online - or use GNU Taler which is private to the buyer but not the seller (for TAX reasons).
"Show me your papers" ~~aught~~ ought to be so anti-British that any government officials promoting digital IDs are leaning over the line of being traitors.
Ought.
Also the British were the first to "show me your papers". Except it was "what's your name boyeeee".
I've said aught for so long I was questioning if this an elaborate prank that somehow changed my search results. Damn.
Und vere are your papers?
