The only winning move is not to play the game. One has to have a phone these days but you don't have to do your computing on it (during personal time). Use a real computer instead.

It's pretty crazy. You can be authenticated on a website, and the website still asks you to use your phone to.. validate what you're doing on the pc.
This software doesn't run on a real computer. The point of the submission is that it only runs on a DRM device from two entrenched vendors
Why would you want to run a locked down a crippled version of linux when you can run the real thing?
And if there really are services that only are accessible through iphone/android applications, you probably should not support them.
Why indeed!
I would agree, but sadly that's not supported by this government verification software. If you want to use the internet, it sounds like this will become mandatory for many websites hosted in the EU that have content that needs to be locked away from kids under 13 or so. If you think we should oppose that, I'm right by your side
Great advice that I just can't take.
