lbschenkel Unfortunately for us, Denmark is a small country. Were this app essential to life in US or another country of comparable importance, it would be such a deal breaker for any distro that the willingness to make it work (despite its faults) would be different.
I'm not sanguine that the U.S. government would leave room for the right outcome to happen (based on living here)--I can easily imagine they would turn on full attestation and then game over. Regardless, here is a wild idea produced by somebody who lives in a large country and has a hopeful fantasy about what might be possible in a small country:
- Find an existing Danish non-profit organization with an interest in Internet privacy.
- Offer to donate one low-end Pixel device per year, plus technical expertise.
- Have the non-profit approach the Danish government and/or the MitID app developers, offering to donate one device per year plus N hours per month of technical expertise. Now it's not two strange people named @Grkrz and @lbschenkel complaining at them about phones running some weird OS they've never heard of and getting lost in the complaint stream, but instead an official problem report from the official liaisons of the Danish Internet Privacy Alliance (or whatever).
- If that works, explain what you did to somebody in another country. Maybe Estonia? Maybe Germany? If another country can replicate this, great! It will increase the likelihood that Denmark will keep the cooperation going.
- Maybe it will be possible to convince European governments in general that this is the civilized European thing to do (not like those boorish Americans with their giant duopoly tech system). Maybe some influential press organ could do a piece documenting the cooperative software-diversity-tolerating European approach (perhaps after being fed the story idea).
- Then perhaps you have a cousin in Canada who might convince Canada?
- Eventually, if Europe and Canada are doing something sensible, maybe it will be possible for the U.S. to realize it's a sensible thing too.
Just an idea!
