LjLde-facto, this is probably the point that marks when i should start thinking about getting rid of our contact tracing app (if it becomes something else) https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=it&tl=en&u=https://www.punto-informatico.it/immuni-passaporto-vaccinale/02:04
LjLand this minister is laughably clueless02:05
LjL"The reason why we are maintaining and updating it, now you can also enter the result of the buffer [that's a bad translation of "swab"], is that it will probably be useful in some way."02:05
LjLwow... what? NOW you can enter the result of the swab? revolutionary! wait... what was it supposed to be for, before?!02:05
LjL(what actually changed is that you can input a code yourself, while previously you had to make some healthcare operator do it, which explains why it was basically useless as that wasn't being done. anyway it had nothing to do with it becoming a test or vaccine passport)02:06
de-factowell maybe it would be better to scan the qr code and have the app ask the owner if publishing a positive result was allowed?02:15
LjLthere is no qr code02:15
LjLit doesn't work like the german one02:15
LjLanyway that's not the point02:15
LjLthe app was and remains a failure, and now they're trying to "resurrect" it with this minister clearly not really knowing what it even currently does02:16
LjLbut it was meant to be an emergency app that they swore would be phased out, not turn into a vaccine passport02:16
LjLenough "government apps" are already creeping in that risk becoming de facto mandatory02:16
LjLi certainly don't need this to add to them02:16
LjLand "Let's say it wasn't a success, but it wasn't a success in any European country, so I don't think we can feel bad about it." what a shitty attitude, everyone failed, so it's okay that we failed too02:17
LjLand not everyone failed to the same extent, not even close.02:17
de-factoi am fully using the german app, but all it did for me until now was to give me one negative test result back02:19
de-factoi did never receive any warning or such, maybe i am too careful in everyday life02:19
de-factoi am even using it in buildings where i dont have reception, then i go on airplane mode and enable bluetooth only02:20
LjLde-facto, but we saw the german numbers are much higher than the italian numbers (although in the german app they don't know how many were notified, because of privacy concerns that the italian app sidestepped)02:22
LjLit's still a small proportion of the positive people but iirc like one order of magnitude bigger than ours02:22
LjLmaking test results automatically show up in the app is a very obvious way to encourage adoption02:22
LjLbut in italy, most of the time they don't even have the computer stuff to *create the code* (not qr code, just code) to put into the app02:23
de-factowell actually right now they push the "luca" app in germany because the cw-app cant provide some things (because of too much privacy protection)02:23
de-factoits a privately developed app02:23
LjLbleh02:24
de-factoyeah it tool very long time here too to get all doctors offices to install the equipment, last summer they still were using fax system and phone calls02:25
de-factoit *took very long time02:25
LjLIn contrast to the corona warning app that everyday contacts with other users of the Corona-warning app that meet a certain time and distance , recording ( proximity tracing ), the Luca app registered visits from distinguished venues on. Because all visitors to a possible infection “hotspot” ( cluster ) can be identified in this way, it is also known as cluster detection. The Corona warning app should also receive cluster detection by April 2021.02:26
LjLOn March 3, 2021, Chancellor Angela Merkel debated with the Prime Ministers of the federal states, among other things, ways of establishing better contact tracking and wanted to discuss a new nationwide app for contact tracking by Monday, March 8, 2021. According to Ms. Merkel, the Luca app is one of the topics under discussion.02:27
LjLso suddenly it doesn't matter anymore that it be open source and private and so on02:27
LjLeven though those aren't the reason for poor results02:27
LjLthe bluetooth definition of a positive contact was overly conservative, for a start, and that's controlled by Google and Apple, thank you very much for that02:28
de-factoyeah i am not a fan of it either, but i would (and am) participating in anything that could help fight the pandemic02:29
LjLi won't completely trash my value for the sake of fighting the pandemic, especially when i get the feeling it may be a poor excuse02:29

LjL(and following sections)02:37
de-factoyes its not optimal i know02:39
LjLno, the original CWA and friends were not optimal02:40
LjLthis is just bad02:40
LjLthe slippery slope is real02:40
LjLDer Hersteller wirbt auf seiner Website[63] mit einer „anonymen, sicheren und digitalen Kontaktdatenübermittlung“, die ausschließlich von den Gesundheitsämtern entschlüsselt werden könne. Da den Gesundheitsämtern die Zuordnung von Daten zu einer Person möglich ist, kann tatsächlich lediglich von einer Verschlüsselung gesprochen werden.[64] „Eventuell wären noch eine weitergehende pseudonyme Nutzung und weitere Verbesserungen möglich“, sag02:40
LjLte der frühere Datenschutzbeauftragte Schleswig-Holsteins.[65]02:40
LjLfull personal data including the places you were at just waiting to be decrypted... no thanks02:41
LjLthe Google/Apple system was thought out well, even if crippled by poor decisions about restricting Bluetooth range/time, and lazy implementation by health authorities02:41
de-factowell yeah, the CWA is overly protective on privacy, this luca app comes from the other direction actually02:41
LjLthere is no need to make something clearly worse02:41
LjLhow is it "overly" protective of privacy? how do you claim that is its issue?02:42
de-factoi agree its not aligned with my values, but still if it has any chance to help i give it a try02:42
de-factoto be honest i did not read too much into the details, basically they were saying it could not do what luca app could to some time ago02:43
LjLokay, i guess to realign the karma, i'll uninstall Immuni, since my government looks like it's going to muck with it, and i didn't know that yours may give a private for-profit company the official fiat02:43
de-factomaybe they changed that now with some CWA update, i have to admit i am not on the latest state with their trajectory02:43
de-factoi guess i really should read into that, but not today, i have to get some sleep, have to get up in less than 6h02:44

LjLde-facto[m], "Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania even wants to make the installation a prerequisite for participation in public life." ← that sounds like the way these things are used in authoritarian, non-western countries that we all tend to shun02:54
