- Comment on Keir Starmer says digital ID cards an ‘enormous opportunity’ for the UK 1 week ago:
An enormous opportunity for the state to surveil and control the populace that is.
- Comment on Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards 1 week ago:
Many places have a “Challenge 30” policy or similar where they ask for ID if you look under 30.
If you still look youthful at 40 it’s possible to get ID’d.
- Comment on Keir Starmer to announce plans for digital ID scheme 1 week ago:
I’ve heard rumours they are even going to call it the “Brit Card”.
Say no to Starmer Cards and the surveillance state.
- Comment on Keir Starmer expected to announce plans for digital ID cards 1 week ago:
Well, this will do nothing to hinder illegal migration. So the question is what do they want it for?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
An open source smart glasses platform would be a much better direction.
But that only provides security assurances for the wearer of the glasses. Anyone else interacting with them doesn’t know how they are configured, and what is being recorded and/or shared.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
The core technology is impressive, and has legitimate use cases.
But that doesn’t outweigh the enormous privacy concerns these devices raise. They aren’t being angled as an accessory for specific activities, but as everyday wearables. If smart glasses like these became common they would be unavoidable, creating leave of intrusion that’s concerning even without Meta being involved.

- Comment on England Trials Smartphone Rail Payment System with Real-Time Phone Location Tracking 4 weeks ago:
Yup, the UK once again creating a needlessly convoluted and harmful solution to an already solved problem.
I would laugh if I didn’t live here.
- Comment on UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost 4 weeks ago:
The figures are the averages for the full trial period.
So it’s possible they were making more queries at the start of the trial, but then mostly stopped when if they found using Copilot was more a hindrance than a help.
- Comment on mkdocs for recipe catalogue 4 weeks ago:
So far I just keep recipes in whatever I’m using for notes.
Some of these dedicated programs look interesting though. Thinking about it, it would be handy to have some dedicated cooking features, like being able to search for recipes by ingredients.

- Comment on Two-hour screen time limit and curfews for children being considered by government 2 months ago:
I think some parents feel a bit disempowered about how to actually make their kids healthier online.
All of the time restrictions (and more) being proposed can already be done with parental controls that are built into devices now, and have been for years.
The state setting digital curfews is a ridiculous level of overreach. The OSA and now this, we are heading in a dangerous direction.

- Comment on UK to lower voting age to 16 2 months ago:
This feels like a big shift for it actually to happen, but I think it’s the right decision overall.
The idea that 16 legally a person can (with some caveats) live independently in their own home and raise a family, and pay all the relevant tax along the way, but not have their say in elections has always seemed incongruous to me. It’s the young who feel the political outcomes the longest after all.
How many young people will actually turn out is another question politically though.

I thought the size of carry on luggage was checked at check in before boarding. It was the last time I flew.
