- Comment on Google Wallet lets UK users turn their passport into digital IDs 4 weeks ago:
However, it is important to note that these digital IDs are not a replacement for the original physical ones. Furthermore, U.K. residents cannot use digital IDs at airports for travel.
Additionally, Google states that it is also exploring certification with the U.K.’s Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology, which could enable residents to use their digital IDs for alcohol purchases and other purposes.
So you can add your passport to Android but effectively not use it for anything? Does anywhere in the UK accept this Google system as ID?
The article also mentions a partnership to add Railcards to it, but there is already a Railcard app for that, so I’m not sure what this actually for.

We already have a semi privatised identity system with the PASS card scheme for proof of age, its government backed but the actual physical and digital IDs are provided by various public and private groups.

- Comment on Keir Starmer does not believe trans women are women, No 10 says 5 weeks ago:
Labour chose to take this particular stance today. There are many other approaches they could have taken, they could have also tried to dodge the matter and kick they can down the road, but instead “trans women are not women” is what they have chosen to actively embrace.
(Further) pandering to the transphobic lobby is not necessary, and what’s been said today is far beyond pandering.
- Comment on Keir Starmer does not believe trans women are women, No 10 says 5 weeks ago:
They could have announced they would look to introduce new legislation to address this. They could have said just about anything instead of what’s been said today.
But they didn’t, they are instead parroting the court ruling as if it’s a final settlement on the issue.
There is no weaselling around these words, the only debate is whether it exposes cowardice or bigotry.
- Comment on Trans women should use toilets based on biological sex, Phillipson says 5 weeks ago:
Even by the low standards I had for Labour’s approach, this is depressing.

- Comment on Neurodiverse people on benefits to be helped into work in bid to cut welfare bill 3 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 I mean, that's literally the opposite of what I want 3 months ago:
I’m also using iOS in the UK. I just tried searching for Pixelfed in the App Store and the ad was for some sort of golf tutoring app.
The top search result was the Pixelfed app and the others all other Fediverse apps.
- Comment on Benefit cheats could lose driving licences in anti-fraud drive 4 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.
