@coraven@mastodon.ie @otfrom@functional.cafe sounds like Ireland and Germany are making the same mistakes, and just a few weeks after the EU had this great idea for digital sovereignty so users didn't have to rely on USA-jurisdiction companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft 🤦 https://mastodon.social/@pojntfx/116345677794218793

@craignicol@glasgow.social @otfrom@functional.cafe Possibly. I have been watching that thread and I am disappointed that Germany is effectively going to exclude GraphineOS, Iodé, /e/, LineageOS and other degoogled phones. As far as I know, Ireland has not shown their code so their is a chance that we will not. I have email correspondce from the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation back in September indicating that they may be open to doing using a more open standard.

@craignicol@glasgow.social @coraven@mastodon.ie @otfrom@functional.cafe Austria already has their wallet/eIDAS implemented since quite a while, and here the only way to get it onto a de-googled smartphone is afaik via the Aurora store. the alternative for users who dont want to use biometry is to use a FIDO key: https://epicenter.works/content/how-to-id-austria-ohne-zwang (Article in german)
