Same thing happened to me after my toddler niece smashed all the keys on the keyboard.
Try hitting "Ctrl" and "-" at the same time to zoom out on your desktop like you do on a browser. Or try different similar combinations like "Alt".

    Why an outcry? Your pictures that you upload to Instagram and Facebook belong to Meta the minute it's on their sites. It's not even a recent thing. You agreed to their terms.

    Those are American solutions, they only know the old way of scanning IDs. For example, where I live websites only confirm my ID by asking through my government app. And I need to authorise which fields of my digital ID they can have acess to. The websites can't request the whole data if they only need to know if weather I'm over 18. The government just needs to create a yes/no field.

    Even simpler would be to use the EUid login app to generate a single use code/token to provide the website that yes/no answer. But that's still in development I think, don't know if it's for each EU government app or an EU wide level app.

    There are many modern solutions on the way, the Americans just refuse to evolve. Like USB-C ports or fixed bottle caps.

    I don't think you'll have to give all your data to random websites. You'll be issued a single use token with a yes/no flag saying if you're over 18.

    That's it. It's so, so much less data than what people are mindlessly giving to social networksthese days. Contacts, birthdays, private conversations, credit card numbers, personal photos, minute-by-minute IP and geolocation. Those are all things that social networks take for granted and governments don't (and will not) have access to.

    People are making a giant fuss about "them gov'nmint" but completely ignore all the data social networks already have. And you can simply not use them if you don't want to give "all your data to government". I know I won't.
