Security Research, software developer, strange hardware configurations.

And of course Software I need is not including their deps

That was an example. And as someone who works in sec, I know the benefits of a package manager.

“I only need to trust brave”.

I don’t get it, static linking, curl to bash pipes and userepace install and everybody thinks that is fine. But as someone who needs to write a security concept for Linux in the office so I can finally use it at work, no that is not ok. That is shit.

Rust on desktop is also a nightmare for example.

No I do not hate arch, I hate concepts and mindsets creeping into the Linux world

Anywhere else, I just need the package from the brave project or their repo. I trust the brave project, I do not trust the AUR for reasons.

True, I also have a choice to use a distro that delivers the software I need in the main repo.

And then, where get I 70% of my packages I need? For example a useful browser like brave? Yeah …

Maybe, just maybe, and nearly unmoderated repository where everybody can create packages, is not so secure after all? /s

And AUR is the reason I keep arch miles away from any of my systems.

Written by Claude … “You are right to raise this”… Like chatgpt dashing

If I can’t remember a specific interface I can not judge if would be the right tool for the given job. Using suboptimal tools is bad architecture for me.

That’s just a simple example.

It took me about 8 weeks to get back up to my old productivity, and suddenly code that looked perfectly fine from agent backed project’s give me nightmares.

I was worth every penny I earned 4 years ago. 1 year ago, I had to open documentation for C++ features I use for a decade. I could not remember how it works.

Your brain is a muscle, and sure, I had more time to teach, but I got worse at teaching because I got worse at doing

Nothing. I threw them all out. After is forgot how to write good code and how to design good software.

That his how cerebral atrophy must feel like.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But, done of us like to be used :(

You don’t expect OP to understand this?

Maybe if he shakes his head fast left and right, those two braincells could touch for a second, but I consider the chances pretty slim

Can confirm, would fuck the whole Lucifer cast.

I don’t say the code isn’t sloppy and should never go live I. It’s state.

I say: show me the app on the app store that you can download and use.

We are talking about security issues in a reference implementation.

We are not talking about an app. All this does is to spread fear and if this whole thing is not accepted by the Public because of this , what then? We land up in a privatisation scenario once again and then fuck privacy.

This state of the Codebase is fixable, but stop talking about it like it would be a released app. It is not.

Ok, once again in slow: each country must implement their own app.

One for Germany, one for France and so on. Because it has to be tied into the ID card system of the country.

You can build the app in the repo but the app can not do any age verification without this integration. I even cited the fucking sentence from the readme.

We are getting somewhere. So a bunch of devs develop an SDK, and some demo implementations. No country adopted the app yet, there is no version that works, as there is no version by an ID card authority.

It does not matter what Ursel said, there is no app. There is only an SDK.

And to then the press talks about “the App”. Why would one add such a node in the first place? Only because of this reporting.

The current version is not feature complete and will require further integration work before production deployment. In particular, any national-specific enrolment procedures must be implemented by the respective Member States or publishing parties.

First sentence in the GitHub readme

The demo version is being updated. We will continue to release updates on the demo versions for community testing.

And once again: each country has to implement its own app. This version is just a technology demo and indented to be tested, hacked and reviewed

Edit : forgot the link to the repo https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui

This is the 20ies post I see about this.

And the 10th times I will say it:

This is a prototype release. This is not a production ready release. It demos the integration. Each country will build their own app.

Not Germany ffs. Friedrich Merz is not Germany, as Donald Trump is not the USA.
