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.

  • Just one thing to consider: I don't think ultra long distance running, where women seem to have these potential advantages, has any men's/women's divisions. There are so little participants and it takes such a long time to host these events, it makes no sense to establish any. There's not much money on the line either, it's a very "pure" sport where participants do it for the challenge only.

    As for (regular) marathons, where there are men's and women's division: The article mentions men still retain a ~12% advantage, so this wouldn't work unfortunately.

  • Young people too are increasingly requesting assisted suicide. I read an article about how in 2025, of the 8 people that made a request through the largest assisted suicide association (DGHS) due to ME/CFS, 5 were between 24 and 29 years old. There are sadly no official numbers for total assisted suicides due to ME/CFS (or any other reason) available.

    Looking at a statistic I found, in 2024 the same association helped just 4 people in the same age range request assisted suicide:

    Kontext:

    Der Hitzerekord in Deutschland wurde erneut gebrochen: Laut den vorläufigen Daten des Deutschen Wetterdiensts (DWD) wurden in Saarbrücken-Burbach um 15 Uhr 41,4 Grad gemessen. An der Wetterstation war bereits am Freitag die bisherige Allzeit-Höchstmarke von 41,2 Grad eingestellt worden.

    Nach den vorläufigen Daten des DWD hielt der Hitzerekord aus Saarbrücken nur kurz. Wie ein Sprecher des Wetterdiensts der Nachrichtenagentur AFP sagte, wurde an der Messstation in Drewitz im Jerichower Land in Sachsen-Anhalt gegen 16.30 Uhr eine Temperatur von 41,5 Grad verzeichnet.

    Eine Person steht in der Mitte des Bildes und schaut nach vorne mit Schrift "Saarbrücken, 15:00 Uhr". Wenige Centimeter dahinter, ohne dass es die vordere Person ahnt, steht eine größere Person mit Schrift "Drewitz, 16:30".
     

    Vielen Dank an Daniel Born, der der AfD einen Bärendienst erwiesen hat.

    Wie kommt ein Politiker überhaupt auf so eine blöde Idee? Leidet die SPD auch noch unter chronischer Kurzsichtigkeit neben den Magenbeschwerden?

    Ohne Verschwörungstheorien zu verbreiten würde ich mir mal wünschen, dass sein Konto kontrolliert wird. Sein Verhalten ist ja beinahe eine zu perfekte Ausrede für sämtliches Naziverhalten von AfDlern.
