I can't believe how infrequently this point comes up, given how fundamental a flaw to the whole scheme this point out. So long as you're allowed to have a computer and run code on it, you can run programs that do your bidding. Cha

Thanks, that is good to know! Sad to learn that even the most mainstream of apps with incredible profit margins don't seem to find this worth implementing. This would have been a reason to switch some of my family onto Apple

I had the same worry but after pressing "next" like 15 times and waiting for 15 pages to load, the last page of Apple's documentation on Assistive Access tells you that you can exit it by triple clicking the "side button

The linked Discord post is also interesting and fun to read. Most of the post is more serious but this is one of the small gems: > One thing we discovered very quickly was that [world cup] goals scored showed up in our monitoring graphs.

Huh, I never thought of it that way but we sort of have that, just that it's two entries instead of a whole list of frequencies. There's a general chat that you can read whenever~never (participate as much as you want), and one th

Thanks for the elaborate and thoughtful reply! I have little to add to the bigger paragraphs, but about the question at the end: I've been wondering the same and think it must be an information age thing. Not in the abstract or the &qu

Add Belgium and Germany to the list. Notably not the Netherlands. They've got the ID card chip (as required internationally iirc) but I emailed them once to get the public key so I can verify signatures (this was like 2016, I was still

I would be curious what it's like in the UK. It would probably do well as an HN submission if you're up for writing a blog post about it. All I know is that they passed some legislation that requires people to authenticate for any

Does that work on a (mostly) open source OS such as GrapheneOS or LineageOS, or does it require a locked phone from Google or Apple?

The EU is paying for this one but not other ones apparently. Strange. It's almost as though they're paying to build what they plan to use rather than making an example for the heck of it

Has anyone tried this out and can say how long it takes? The flowchart on the back-end looks pretty involved, needing to publish transactions on the chain and get confirmations. For Bitcoin, that takes upwards of like 15 minutes depending o
