Iirc a portrait photo is a part of the mandatory dataset for the EUDI now

Unfortunately not, the wallet app must have source code available except for parts deemed too sensitive, which are exempt

I would love to be wrong about this, but I don’t think it’s likely. Why would a government voluntarily spend money on making the app work for a minority of people running a privacy OS that politicians associate with criminals and gangsters?

Also, it’s not like the wallet app will actually be open source in the traditional sense where you can fork and compile it yourself, so I think getting any decent version of it seems like a long shot

I have no idea what anyone should be doing, but I’ll tell you what I personally am doing:

• emailing my representatives over and over
• emptied all cloud services and all personal big tech accounts (can’t do much about the work ones…)
• getting acquainted with Linux, VPNs and Tor
• learning to flash custom ROMs
• testing said custom ROMs
• digging into app permissions - even graphene comes with things enabled that I realized I want to turn off (like ad privacy, printer services and android services that enable nearby share which I personally don’t use)
• use Obtainium and F-droid for apps
• testing out p2p services to see which ones are useful
• stashing Linux isos, so I hopefully always have at least one that either doesn’t have age verification or one where it’s easy enough to rip out
• downloaded “linux from scratch”, but I’ll admit I haven’t read it yet

Could these principles be used for ID/age/humanness verification?

Well at least some years ago, Apple’s face ID stopped working when I got bracers. I’m guessing the models are better now, though

I have actually been looking for something like this, look forward to giving it a go!

They started selling user data and integrated AI

I have never internally facepalmed harder in my life

Gotta love it when people who have no understanding of how Linux works writes laws about how Linux should work…

Big ooof!

Wow, opposite issues! Bazzite worked out of the box for me, but Ubuntu was awful. I spent several hours just to get my wired internet to work, threw every fix I could find at it, eventually fixed it with a modprobe, used it for a few days and decided that Ubuntu wasn’t for me.

I haven’t had any issues with my nvidia GPU. I did some distro-hopping and didn’t have any nvidia issues in any of the distros I tried.

If you want everything to work out of the box, I would recommend Bazzite. Pop! OS had me using the AMD image and fetching the nvidia driver manually (the nvidia image just didn’t work for me). After that, everything worked brilliantly.

Same experience, it has worked flawlessly for me too!
