I’m sick of this. We have to defeat it every time it comes up, and there is no doubt it’ll come up again in 2-3 months. They only have to win once and when they do it’ll be in our lives forever.

0·1 month agoAbsolutely. The general population is braindead when it comes to privacy and digital rights and it gets worse with newer generations as 24/7 connectivity and everything being online is the norm for them. As long as they can watch some social media slop they are satisfied. I believe the proliferation of AI will accelerate this as people delegate their critical thinking faculties to machines and accept big tech’s propaganda as gospel. Chatgippity knows best, right?
I really hate this timeline. 99% of companies pushing users into walled gardens. Governments and banks forcing people to use invasive apps that only work in those walled gardens. Slowly our control is eroded, yet your average user couldn’t care less as long as they get to watch their TikTok slop for a few hours a day.
Until a Linux phone becomes viable I’ll be using a rooted custom ROM and avoiding banking/government apps like the plague.
It can be implemented well but often isn’t. Likely eID will force you to use an mobile app (no website or Linux app, yay) that is only available on Apple’s app store or GPlay. And if you want to run a degoogled android ROM good luck with that when they force Play Integrity. Basically shoving everyone into either the Apple or Google walled garden along with the complementary spyware of both gardens and also screwing anyone who uses a non-smart phone either out of choice or circumstance.

2·2 months agoCool project! Does it support 2FA? I’d like to use a password and then either TOTP or FIDO, like Authelia does.
Perhaps worse than the 9 when it comes to wifi which has been downgraded from 7 to 6e. Will most users care? Maybe not, but I do.
Could you share the name of the company please?
I am able to access the data folder which is located in Internal storage/Android/media/com.whatsapp. This is without root using the AOSP files app, not sure if that’s what you meant.
