# Digital ID cards to be compulsory for all UK adults under government plans
*sigh*
Tiny details, like what to do about people who don't have a compatible smartphone, still need to be worked out..

@neil so only Google Android (not any of the open source variants) and iPhone supported then? So you are going to force everyone to spend exorbitant amounts on hardware ALL of which is currently shit for repair/replace
so a mountain of electronic waste.
Also you’re looking at £1-2bn minimum for the IT infrastructure required … which will sit on US corporates cloud hardware and cost 100’s of £millions per year to run everything.
On top of all of that it’ll likely be flakey as hell and a nice easy target for hackers - even just a DDoS would cause havoc.
All for what, stopping some sick people getting treatment at a hospital? Or doing a little bit of work to earn money to feed their families?
Maybe, just forgot about a ridiculous ID system and just divert the money to feeding/helping migrants. Seriously are people *that* xenophobic that they would entertain this ridiculous idea rather than just help people in need?

“So under 'hobbies' you have listed ‘programming'?”
“Yes!”
“But I also see it listed here under 'things you despise with all your being'”
“Yes that’s correct”
Oh. Good. Digital ID cards. I wonder… does the UK government have any thoughts on if and how gender will be noted on that record? You know, I think they might. I have feeling that they have some very definite ideas about that. FOR SAFETY, you see.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!

“Ultimately, open science cannot be truly open until it reflects the full diversity of global knowledge.

Political parties must stop advertising on Meta halfway through the Netherlands' election campaign. What is going on?
Our @webwatch had a look:
At least we can be sure that digital id cards will be introduced by the same outsourcing geniuses behind such successful projects as HS2, Post Office Horizon and the post-Brexit phytosanitary system. #ukpolitics #omnishambles
Segnalo l'articolo di Giovanni D'Ammassa sulla legge italiana sull'AI. https://www.dirittodautore.it/news/norme/lia-entra-nella-legge-sul-diritto-dautore-modifiche-agli-articoli-1-e-70-septies/amp/
Peccato che l'articolo 70 septies non abbia, a mio parere e a meno che abbia letto male, alcun senso. Intendo, la semantica è abbastanza convoluta, ma potrebbe starci. È che non ha proprio senso nel contesto.
L'articolo 1 invece può avere senso, risolve un dubbio che si poteva avere.

According to a government statement, Slovenia has become the first EU country to impose a travel ban on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, following a July ban on two far-right Israeli cabinet ministers, all three wanted for genocide and war crimes in Gaza.
Slovenia, which recognized a Palestinian state last year, also imposed an arms embargo on Israel in August and banned imports of goods produced in illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

Currently trying to solve a really strange issue with MS Word for someone who I think is using Windows 11 (I'm still on Windows 10 so it's hard to test). After a recent update, it seems like Word has changed the decimal separator in Paragraph settings from a dot to a space (it won't accept a dot). No idea why that could be
