- Comment on Neurodiverse people on benefits to be helped into work in bid to cut welfare bill 2 months ago:
Getting employers to do so will probably require improved labour laws and investment, which doesn’t look forthcoming yet.
Instead I fear we will end up with some more unbinding guidelines employers will ignore, and then those who still cannot find work will have the rug pulled from them with the cuts.

- Comment on Benefit cheats could lose driving licences in anti-fraud drive 2 months ago:
It will be counterproductive in a lot of cases, if the ultimate goal is to get people back into work.
There’s a lot of areas of the country unfortunately where not being able to drive makes it very hard or near impossible to find work. It could also affect any of the sanctioned person’s dependents in a similar way.

- Comment on Bloodletting recommended for Jersey residents after PFAS contamination 2 months ago:
I was told the future would be all flying cars and food in pills.
But instead it’s industrial pollution and bloodletting.

- Comment on Apple to pay $95m to settle claims Siri listened to users’ private conversations 2 months ago:
So the plaintiff’s are claiming Siri was recording them without consent, and that Apple were sharing those recordings with third parties including advertisers.
Apple claims they were sometimes wrongly keeping recordings for internal quality control/analytics but hasn’t admitted to sharing them, and have agreed to the $95m settlement.
The sharing with third parties is the most egregious part here, but it doesn’t seem to be addressed any further.

- Comment on Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky 4 months ago:
That’s a gross assumption that people care about any of this.
For any form of federated community to be sustainable, its users have to care about that. Otherwise those communities will eventually be consumed by whichever instance gains the critical mass to close itself off and become another Twitter or Reddit.
To achieve the benefits of federation, users must be educated on principles of federation, not be obfuscated from them. The question is how the Fediverse can do that.

- Comment on Britain will rejoin the EU within 15 years, former Brussels chief predicts 5 months ago:
I expect (at least) one party will eventually adopt Rejoin as a distinguishing policy, and maybe sooner rather later.
But the appetite for Rejoin will probably depend on the shape of the UK economy and the political direction of the EU in 10+ years. If the Starmer project really has been delivering tangible growth by then, people may feel Brexit has (inadvertently) “worked” in the end. If the EU achieves greater and greater integration in the UK’s absence it may seem less palatable to enough voters.
Both of those are also going to be influenced by external factors like the direction of a possible Trump second term, the outcome of the war in Ukraine etc.
