Can confirm this is the case everywhere. Even before taking anything to trial, one can spend months on trying to come up with a mutually agreeable solution, in my case getting seemingly one step further each time¹. I'm not sure I'

by lucb1e 2y ago
Perhaps of interest, the translation guesses things like age relations and genders. This is accurate when the word has that same meaning in English, like nun and monk have a gender, but e.g. the word hairdresser in English is translated to

Hmm but what lookup does a human need to do? Identity documents have had chips for quite some years now so you just need to touch it to the reader and beep through, or for even older ones, they've had a machine-readable section since a

You'd be right if, 30 years ago, people were required to download proprietary software and run that on a locked-down computer (you don't get to have administrator-level access to it) in order to do simple things like pay a parking
