I don’t know what you mean.

By the government? That is sincerly horrifying if so.

Interesting, if other countries have less driving accidents then it may be worth considering lowering our legal limit. That is, if we can actually detect something is affecting them. Unless the driver is already driving erratically then we must presume the effects of any drink or other drugs isn’t affecting them. Mandatory testing or randomly pulling people over to test them would be a gross over-reach. We trust people to change their own break pads, I trust them to know if they can drive on painkillers.

Real money?

If you can drive safely then go ahead but if you’re impaired by too much of anything that you would drive poorly then don’t. I thought this was common sense.

In UK you can if it doesn’t affect your driving.

“Think of the game-devs needing to make money” says a fat cat talking about a tool forged from game-dev’s labour without compensation and disregarding any social contracts (i.e. copyleft software licenses).

“We must do X at any cost to the user because others will do it and get the money”

This mentality has driven the games industry to become psychologically manipulative, subscription battleass and absolutely proprietary.

Maybe the irresponsibility is in ourselves for giving those game companies money.

Laws for thee

Expect better??

Also apps can outgrow what the author(s) can do and need to be adopted to continue progress. Or you’d rather work on something new or spend time with family. Or the app is finished, no need to add more features and the code is there if you want to fork and maintain.

Electronic voting can be subverted at scale without a paper trail leading to you. People are going to notice you trying to hide the big ballot boxes up your t-shirt.

Electronics are superior to paper for many tasks but voting for your share of representation in government ain’t one of them. Without indentifying who voted for who (red flag) and verifying it then you can only hope the software was counting properly at run time and not subverted. You can watch people miscount paper in real-time and call them out.

A party that won’t fix the issue of FPTP with a proportional voting system are the ones who do not want my vote over other parties. Perhaps you too should speak to your MP about that, instead of blaming me for others getting into power. I will no longer vote for who I don’t want to merely keep another party out. Deal with it.

It is true that paper ID can be forged but where it differs is the inability to do it at such a large scale compared to electronic. Slightly different results can be attributed to human error as it is very difficult to change a single paper vote when other parties are watching. It’s impossible to have confidence in a black box electronic system (even if the code and machine were auditable, who’s to ssy what it’s actually doing at run-time when may users have access to it).

Software is written by humans and humans make mistakes, therefore software contains mistakes. You could perhaps argue electronic ID could be difficult to copy but the mere suggestion of a bug should push over the idea of it being impossible.

Perfection is the enemy of good.

I would write to my MP that I would vote for any other party to make it clear this is an issue. I am not saying all other parties are adcAequally good.

It’s difficult to tell if you’re being sincere when you phrase what I see as a problem of mass surveillancep&r

It’s probably time I should get off my ass and write to my Labour representative saying I’m voting for any other party until they repeal this (and the “online safety act”).

I hate social media but I hate “papers, please” to use the web even more.

It is imperative you can vote without others knowing how you voted (at least here in the UK…). Electronic voting is inferrior to paper when it comes to trustworthness of recording an anonymous vote, counting the result and preventing mass vote fraud.

We already have a hardcopy ID to travel internationally or ID to drive vehicles. The risks of an electronic ID being easily copied would have to get me visiting other solar systems or driving a time machine before I considered it. Something tells me the paper options would continue working at first but eventually this idea will be forced on people.

UK assuming everyone online is a child unless they are willing to have their passport leaked.
