they provide passports for travel, driving licences for driving, national insurance number for taxes, but its not a single id that everyone is required to have

there is no point in it being open source if i cannot modify and run it

there is no single government id in the UK at the moment, they currently do not control my identity

you specifically talked about an OS without user changeable software, thats the definition of open source

Which part of that is avoiding the distopian control?

the very first line, government issued digital id - we have been avoiding that for a very long time

how does this work on an open source operating system?

because it cheaper than other options or what?

everything about this reads like an excuse from a team that doesnt want to admit they screwed up

nitpicking at the RFCs when everyone knows DNS is a big old thing with lots going on

how do they not have basic integration tests to check how clients resolve

it seems very unlike cloudflare of old that was much more up front - there is no talk of the need to improve process, just blaming other people

its pretty concerning that such a large organisation doesnt do any integration tests with their dns infrastructure
