Agreed that law enforcement should not be involved but the quote I posted was also from the article and it seems impossible.

Most of these make sense and are definitely blockers for this ever releasing but -
Remove the concept of the Pseudonym Provider and ensure pseudonyms are generated and stored locally without the possibility of linking back to real identities.
Correct me if I’m wrong but this data all has to be signed somewhere right? Like the eID contains cryptographically signed assertions about the user in some standard (JWT?) format.
What use is signing the assertions locally? There would be no way to tell if the citizen actually had any valid id at all. A pseudonym provider is the privacy layer that allows for signing of new tokens after ensuring the validity of the old.
How could you sign an anonymous token using a valid one without it being linked back to the valid one? It seems like impossible constraints.
Am I totally off base here?
Hmm maybe I stop donating then… I’ll have to dig into where my money is actually going.
Sorta. The foundation does.
Yes. Just like I donate to my Lemmy host on a regular basis.
I even pay for YouTube, despite using Vanced.
Fuck ads.
The issue is fuck ads
Larger… And significantly less experienced.
Which is what happens when you throw your special forces into the meat grinder, to the point that they’ve set up a schismatic faction in Kharkiv and are doing nothing more than attempting to weather out the rest of the war unmolested.
And the western production lines are finally starting to ramp up. Russia stands 0 chance against a fully mobilized western military industrial complex.
And every day Ukraine holds out is another day that Europe gears up.
Putin’s only hope is Trump.
Of course we’re to that: the US is doing very little to slow climate change at all, is anything it is accelerating it. The natural result of this will not be food insecurity in the USA: it will be famine in South and Central America. Climate migration will see tens of millions of immigrants at our borders.
And the government has 0 intention of helping them. It military will directly cause a mass casualty event at the border before the turn of the century.
I have a very handy command in my .vimrc for this -
command! JSON setlocal filetype=json | %!jq .
Anytime I’m in a json file that isn’t formatted it’s as simple as typing :JSON
to have it all sorted.
Yeah but most rpi projects don’t need a powerful alternative. I don’t need a full computer to run octoprint… But it’s still too hard and pricy to get a RPi
“I want to make a movie so painfully obvious in its satire that everyone who understands it lives in perpetual psychological torment inflicted on them by all the people who don’t.”
The movie makes it clear that:
I’ve used them and they’re great
There’s totally a use case for a peripheral like a watch… But it’s only so you don’t have to pull your phone out of your pocket.
I mean the deadlock game is in invite only closed beta rn…
It’s not really planning so much as “about to release to Early Access”

It’s actually fascinating. Asymmetric keys with public keys hosted by the government and the private key in your ID.
A 4 digit pin1 code is required to use the authorization key and a 5 digit pin2 is required to use the signing key.
The average Estonian signs 50 documents per year using this method.
I mean… They have though. It’s not in bing.com but “Microsoft copilot” is their newly rebranded Bing + AI search engine, which they’re embedding directly into desktops. They’ve been doing the AI summaries longer than Google has afaik.
Idk if you watched the video but the reason it works is mentioned in the video, if not explored in detail.
You have a digital id and a digital signature that is tied to you as a citizen.
Each vote has to be signed with your personal voter signature.
You think Bing aka Microsoft is not planning on this exact same folly?
It’s impossible to do without exposing a private signing cert to everyone, yes. That’s the issue.
You can’t do asymmetric key signing anonymously and with a central issuer.
So either you have to just trust the assertions (0 security) or you have to have a trusted issuer (not anonymous)
A pseudonym issuer is a trusted issuer. There’s no way to do it otherwise. You have to trust someone to make this kind of system work.
