It's not just the date picker in Safari. iOS in general... I don't get it why I need to uninstall and reinstall an app from the app store when I want to clean the app's data like I can easily do on Android. Why is there no way to clean caches? Instead a big chunck of the storage is filled with "other system files". And the keyboard is so error prone as well, I always do spelling mistakes or need hours to type short texts. At least it's just my work phone...
You can use the "Online-Personalausweis" for quite some things actually. For example to authenticate at banks, so you don't have to do Video-Ident. Or to do taxes etc. I wrote a post about it earlier this year: https://b.jlel.se/s/59c
I don't speak german, but by video identification do you mean the system in which you turn in the webcam and it checks your face? If so, that is highly vulnerable to real time face swapping attacks (and possibly just recorded webcam footage). I'm sure you're aware, but these systems need to change.
For banking a fairly well known identification provider is "Postident", a service offered by Deutsche Post.
They offer plenty of ways to actually authenticate. The classic one is that you receive a voucher, go to a post shop, the employee there checks your ID and prints you a verification code (iirc). They also added video calls for identification and from my experience, it seems as if they are aware of the potential security implications. They ask you a bunch of questions and require you to do different things (for example hold your ID card right in front of your face, cover one side of your face, etc) presumably to counter this attack vector.
The smoothest way is to use the ID card integration. With that, assuming your ID is already set up for the online authentication, the whole kyc process for a new bank account is done within two minutes. Unfortunately it seems like some banks still disable this option, at least I did recently open an account and did not have this option for use with postident.

Give them a little while and the AI will be able to do all that so you can finally prove to the government that you are indeed a panda bear.
Nah it's a web call where they check your passport for authenticity and identity in real time with a real human in order to authorize a new bank account etc.
Yes. The DNS bootstrap phase is annoying and complicated though. Currently we only do DoH for the big public DNS providers that have well known anycast IPs for their DoH endpoints. That means there's no bootstrap needed.
My blog (jlelse.blog) is absolutely worth it for me for the following reasons:
1. I enjoy sharing things with the world.
2. I got to know a lot of people who wrote me mails because I posted something. Some really nice connections with people from all over the world.
3. I learned a new programming language by developing my own blog software.
4. In job interviews I can tell about developing my own blog software with new technologies.
But I just post when I want to and what I want to. That can range from tutorials to just a casual images I took when walking through my neighborhood.
But there are already train routes with >6 hours in Germany. I sometimes take the train from Berlin to Basel (CH) from just a few stops away from Berlin and when there are no problems that's a 6 hour trip. With the car that would be >7 hours.
