  • Germany’s app (AusweisApp2) is open source and available for literally every platform. Linux, FreeBSD and even Fdroid included.

    I’m not sure of the exact functionality and whether the government can track anything. You need to scan your ID, the app will then ask for a PIN (2fa) and then will tell you which data will be sent to whoever made the request.

    Authentication is done through an eID server which in theory anyone can set up. The requirement are quite strict though so right now there are only three providers. They check the validity of the ID and request and send the received ID data to the requestor.

    It’s quite the complicated procedure to ensure the highest possible security and privacy.

    The entire process is publicly documented and you can probably spend a few hours trying to understand it.

    As for locking people out of online communities: I don’t think it’s a problem if and only if the legislation applies exclusively to social media providers above a certain size. Such as having 5 million+ monthly users.

  • Use ellipse select tool with a fixed aspect ratio of 1:1. Then Select -> Border and choose a width. Then fill it with a color.

    Like yeah, it is 3 steps instead of having a dedicated “Shapes” tool with a bunch of options that would do the same. But GIMP is kind of built around selections, you do need to learn to use them if you ever want to use GIMP effectively. It’s about as important as understanding layers.





  • Public domain is a thing in the EU but not releasing anything into public domain.

    In Germany, I cannot renounce my copyright to anything. I can give you an indefinite, unrestricted license to do whatever but I still own the copyright. It will only ever become public domain 70 years after my death, not a day sooner or later.
