I'm not sure I understand the question actually. Will it work the same way for consumer as ideal does now? Yes, that the promise. Will the actual protocol and endpoints used be the same? I guess not, but also nothing drastic for integrators to worry about.

What I don't get is -- what will be added on top of what ideal already does.

They probably can't make two systems within the bank talk to each other for whatever reason. One reason could be -- we are afraid to touch one side and the other is supplied by a vendor. Or politics, or just a plain skill issue. I'm not them and can't possibly know, but my employer was named in comments already, so I feel like I can extrapolate a bit

Ideal is great. The missing part of the free market is that the other part of it (consumers) expecting you to not be an asshole.

We don't support shit until the regular strongly suggests we do and then it takes about three years to do pretty much nothing, but perfectly on time (not on time actually, ts' a lie)

I heard a loud and solid "fuck US" from the people forming the technical opinion on this matter.

The way selection function for the technical parties in this conversation is going makes it double the fun.

It's up to your bank actually. Banks (generally) don't want to pay for your hardware key so you need to do a special dance to trigger their compliance bound neural pathways to send you one.

But then the true bliss will arrive the next year with eidas 3.0 or whatever it is called

We don't, it's the same ideal 2.0 with a different logo. Literally nothing changed and I saw the exact commits too.

You don't need a whole full timer for that either. When we had to deal with the usual iso stuff it was one guy hired through the agency working on Thursdays

We are getting used to the news about our decadence and decay coming from the West as regular as they did from the East before. Not sure what it means for anyone involved

When the fare dodging rate increases they send out more fare controllers too.

It sure is, but it doesn't matter. Whatever position that generates more economic activity is declared legal using some nonsense retconned logic "because we said so".

Arch Linux arm is great and collabora guys are great (thanks for mainlining rk3588).

I'm using this one for my desktop and it's very smooth for a passive cooling thing.

It's 1200 pages of bad writing where he can't get to the fucking point and sentences are page-long subclause mess. He is only on the list because commies put him there for ideological alignment and being long form. Seriously, fuck tolstoy.

>Being Russian does not make them retrospectively Putinist, does it?

Because Chekhov, Gogol, Ilf and Petrov, and Strugatsky brothers are better. And dostoevsky definitely is in the retroactively putinist camp, if you don't catch that you haven't been reading enough of him. For mental hygiene alone he should be off that list. Even Bulgakov is better, although not for modern sensibilities. And is a huge waste of time.

That being said, some authors which are definitely great, just shouldn't be on the mandatory reading list for 15 year olds for all kinds of reasons, including for the reason of being russian. The list is not infinite and there is an opportunity cost that is wasted on those two specifically.

Why would it not? Divine Comedy and Jack London were both required reading in my Ukrainian school (in translation of course). So was tolstoevsky unfortunately.

>Yet nothing has changed.

Actually a lot has changed -- the world passed peak oil and the benzine cars are practically done, while a lot of generation is now "green". It isn't enough to get it to C02 negative territory so far, but saying it's nothing is a bit counterfactual.

If you want to burn shit, you need to either not release CO2 somehow while doing it or suck it back from the the air somewhere and that second part isn't happening, because the emissions are mispriced.
