Interesting digital ID update in The Times. A couple of things on this from me: firstly, does someone at DSIT need reminding that govt is not a tech company? Govts should have transparent public road maps for delivery. Tech cos do launches to feed the hypebeast www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog...

The scheme will be voluntary and drivers will still be issued with provisional and full photocard driving licences, but ministers hope the move will
"drag government into the 2020s".
The plans are due to be announced by ministers next week in a "product launch" event in central London.
Subermarkets could link the digital licence with

If you wish to send a message to the friends and family of Vicky Teinaki, @vickytnz.bsky.social, about how much she meant to us and the community she was so much a part of, please add them here. I now have access to a compilation by a close friend of hers (not on BlueSky) and will add ours.

Today, the UK government announced a proposal to change copyright law - for the benefit of AI companies - that would cause huge, irreversible harm to creators. More info below, but most importantly here's what you can do (wherever you live): 1. Email your MP. Template letter in 🧵 👇 1/10

Imagine the world if we’d been willing to learn from COVID… What if we’d embraced WFH to slow climate change? What if we’d installed filtration systems in public buildings to reduce the spread of illness? What if we’d demanded disability justice re long COVID? A better world is still possible.

Also, speaking of nerds and television, I made a quilted winter cover for the window-unit air conditioner in my TV-less living room.

Got the warm and fuzzies from seeing and chatting to so many of my old connections from that other place here. Realised how much I've missed those interactions. Hello, old and new ! What are your favourite starter packs?

This is a really fascinating move and wonder how they will actually police it - as most teens I know lie about their age to get a social media account

I made a starter pack but it made me tense because all taxonomies are political and no, I absolutely did not overthink this. Also! It is really hard to find people in your graph who have fewer followers. Bluesky should let you sort the list with least followers first. go.bsky.app/VFxSES6

I had a brilliant first trip to #newyork and squeezed a ridiculous amount of things in to 6 nights. Here’s some things I wish I’d known before I went and places I’d visit again (and some handy Google maps with pins)

I'm visiting New York City next week for the first time ever (!) and I've got a list of things as long as my arm I want to do, packed into 6 days. I just want to soak it all up. Music, art, theatre, eating, walking around and cycling! What's your favourite things to do in NY?
