- Comment on Two-hour screen time limit and curfews for children being considered by government 1 month 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 (Laser) Printer go brrrr 1 month ago:
We have a cheap and reliable black and white laser printer at home for convenient printing of stuff like return labels.
On the rare occasion colour of photo prints are needed, there’s a great little independent print and photo place in town that does prints for pennies.
Seems to be the best of both worlds.
- Comment on UK to lower voting age to 16 1 month 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.

- Comment on Google Wallet lets UK users turn their passport into digital IDs 4 months 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.
- Comment on Google Wallet lets UK users turn their passport into digital IDs 4 months ago:
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 4 months 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 4 months 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.

Even by the low standards I had for Labour’s approach, this is depressing.
