a great, interesting article. thanks.
"Like, you bind something on localhost and suddenly all applications can just poke at it". He gave the example of AusweisApp, which is an official authentication app for German IDs that can be used to authenticate with government web sites. It exposes a service on the local host, which makes it available to all Flatpak applications on the system.

Over the years i noticed that germany has ugly software and websites. in austria its different.
