This is a great example of how this whole requirement hasn't been properly thought out.

> Desktop support is not currently within the project's scope.

What I would like to take from this is that, by their own definition, desktop apps are out of scope for Age Verification. So does that mean we will see a return of the 'desktop applications' instead of everything being a web service ?

One can dream perhaps. Until then adults who are willing to 'do what they're told' will be the ones who are inconvenienced by this constantly.

Edit: Also this will completely disable any new phone OS' being developed. Why would anyone bother when you can't verify your wallet to do anything online.

This already the case today, you can't run your bank's app or government eID apps on anything but Google or Apple devices.

> you can't run your bank's app

I can log in to my bank account using my desktop PC

> government eID apps

I can sign into government websites using my desktop PC and its smart card reader and my government-issued eID smartcard. No smartphone needed.

Not in EU. Many banks mandate you either have an iPhone or Google approved Android as 2FA. Those fucking idiots have killed their own competition options.

Of course in the EU - pretty much all Baltic and Nordic countries support id cards connected via usb

Nope, Sweden requires Mobile BankID on iOS or Android for example.

>>Garden+911
BankID has a desktop version, and no site which requires Mobile BankID would not allow you to also use the desktop version.

But it doesn't support Linux.

It used to, it could quickly get back support if there was a reason to.
