Starmer’s ID plan has caused upset, but in the EU the debate has long been settled

ID cards have become an essential part of life for many across the bloc, with digital versions already launched in many member states

As above question.

Are they counted as ‘digitally excluded’ and how fucked are the actually digitally excluded residents?

    it’s country dependent. here there’s multiple digital id providers with different criteria. there’s one owned by the largest isp, one owned cooperatively by all the banks, and one owned by the state which very few people use. the bank one is the most popular, and it used to work fine on custom roms. i think that support got worse once they started adding more hardware-backed security.

    i don’t have the mental energy to fight it at this point, but if i did i’d try to run the state-backed one on sailfish just to see what happens.
