Thankfully the German eID app is open source and in the package repos of many Linux distros. It's even on FreeBSD & F-Droid.
Based. This makes me want to install it, and I'm not even German
That's strangely forward thinking for a country stuck in 2005 when it comes to internet access
I agree, this is great in a strange way. So let's not complain too much. :)
Used it several times, works like a charm
