  It doesn’t really make it any better, but at least they let you opt out of data collection after creating the account (you know, when they have already collected your email, first and last name as well as camera serial no.) 🙄

  Oof, that is new, the camera connect app used to work without an account before.

  Too bad, it makes me think “wow this is horrible, if they are this bad at developing a simple app I don’t want to find out how bad they would be at deceloping and maintaining a whole OS…”

  While that is true with humans, I’m not sure if that applies to Giraffes with such long windpipes

  That may be but if they would shorten “female soldier”, wouldn’t they refer to her as “a soldier” and not “a female”?

  I get the sentiment, but at the same time it feels like a mad waste of resources and energy in a time of climate crisis. These materials and electric power could have gone into sustainable transportation or carbon capture instead of fuelling some corporations monetary gain.

  Yeah that’s pretty much what I meant, sorry if I wasn’t clear.

  I just think in order to reduce the resistance against such a change, it might be good to still provide the “old” method with voter registration for anyone who doesn’t want a government ID because of “muh freedoms”.

  That way, any normal citizen can just have a government ID and by identifying themselves be able to vote without further registration. Any citizen who doesn’t want an ID can go through a voter registration process, same as today.

  They could just make a government ID that is not mandatory. Much like a passport. And whoever holds a passport or a voluntary govt ID is automatically enabled to vote using their ID / passport, but then would still leave the choice of registering for voting for those who don’t trust “the government”
