Unfortunately I need my electronic ID that only runs on Windows, Apple, iOS and the Google Android unless you can spoof it. Not even regular Linux or with Wine. And I use it near daily.
Boo Sweden.
Boo EU.
I hope they develop a Linux Version soon. At least in Germany some Gouvernement institutions have switched to open source to avoid microsoft
Thankfully the German eID app is open source and in the package repos of many Linux distros. It’s even on FreeBSD & F-Droid.
Having an accessibility service on android also trips its security which is just a vile practice. Its one thing that i cant use some apps to automate stuff on my phone, but what about the disabled people who need an accessibility service to use their phone. All of this stuff should be open source and use actual security instead of security by obscurity.
Pretty sure this is an illegal practice and can be ended by pressuring the bank a bit (just tell the largest newspapers, the press coverage should make them fix it to not look like idiots).
fwiw you can get around that by rooting your phone, installing lsposed, and installing the “no accessibility services” xposed module.
hell of a fucking thing just to have basic fucking functionality on your phone, but c’est la vie
Yeah but if im already rooting i could do other stuff as well. Also if were already on this topic, rooting trips knox on samsung, would you by chance know whether they would deny my warranty in sweden like in most other countries or accept it still with triggered knox like in the netherlands?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is the government ID used for? why do you need to have it on your phone as opposed to a physical copy of it?
Banking and plenty of online transactions require it too. Login to government services and anything healthcare, pharmacy, social security and so on. For some there are cumbersome alternatives with two step validation and codes by email or text messages that may or may not work while electronic ID is a thumb on the phone.
Online banking, extra validation during online purchases, online government services, validating mobile payment, and more.
And technically it’s not government ID but rather organized by banks. There is a government organized one(at least I think it’s government organized) as well but only really works for government services.
Can someone fill me in on this required electronic ID thing? What happens if someone doesn’t have a phone at all? Kicked out of the country?
You can get a physical one time code generator thing instead for the 2fa part of the digital ID. No phone required.
The one we have in Norway looks like this
Tbh, Linux on a phone sucks. I am fine with Android. Custom ROMs are good enough for me. I value being able to use most Android games and software. Maybe in the FAR FUTURE I would if Linux on phones improved, but not any time soon.
Listened to the video. She didn’t have a great experience.
Linux on a phone sucks too. Hopefully, it won’t one day but for it now, it does. To be fair, I’ve only used Ubuntu Touch and PocketBlue. Of those two, Pocket Blue was better, in my opinion. PostmarketOS looks promising but I don’t have a device that will run it well. Too many key features don’t work on my OnePlus 6t at the moment.
For now, AOSP with FDROID is where it’s at.
