No, it’s the opposite. Apple argued strongly that passkeys are intended to be a replacement for passwords and so must be syncable. And that’s how it’s implemented on Apple OSes. It syncs to iCloud Keychain or your password manager, and so that same passkey is available on all your devices. It’s not even locked into Apple’s ecosystem because of cross-platform password managers.

I think you described what Apple implemented for its Declared Age Range API. The API has one additional privacy protection, which is that the API only gives age bracket information rather than precise age.

The details about falling assumes Earth level gravity too. That might be different enough to change the scale of things. When gravity is especially high you aren’t likely to evolve very tall creatures because vertical movement becomes punishingly expensive.

For massive size differences I would expect that to affect brain size and intelligence. Below a minimum size you’re not likely to get higher intelligence because the brain just isn’t complex enough.

There’s also interesting problems with heat. Larger bodies have less surface area to dissipate heat and so are more prone to overheating. Tiny bodies may lose heat to their environment too easily.

This RCA message archiving feature is on “fully managed” Pixel devices, which are COBO: corporate owned, business only. You shouldn’t be doing anything personal on such devices.

There’s also “work profile” which is a different kind of management for mixed personal and work use. With work profile, the admin has no visibility into the personal side of the device.

It’s simplest and safest to follow what you wrote and never bring personal and work anywhere near each other. But there’s downsides to that, like having to carry two phones. I think there’s some situations where most people will feel safe doing personal things on a work device.

Life is a special form of complexity: It has the ability to create more complexity and to maintain organization against the tendency toward disorder.

No, life isn’t special in that way. Life exists because of an increase in entropy elsewhere. We don’t consider a planet to be special just because it is bathed in light from its star, but it’s the same pattern: Increasing entropy in the star leads to organization (light) on the planet.

If dark energy means we have an unending input of exploitable energy into the universe then life can potentially continue forever, but there’s nothing special about life that lets it do that.

According to https://reddthat.com/post/25633 there’s payment options for librepay, ko-fi, and a few different crypto options. This post mentions ~A$22/week in total income revenue, which matches what librepay reports. What’s the income from all the other sources? Are they all ~A$0?
