  • Me too

    One thing I’ve never heard any native English speaker say, but have heard from more than one non-native speaker is the phrase ”we perfectly know“. Something like “as we perfectly know, English is a living language”

    I’m not sure exactly what word I’d substitute in there to make it “proper” English, but I do know I don’t want to







  • I don’t have a problem with the idea of a digital ID. I’ve been saying for years that it’s ridiculous that any time you want to do something even vaguely official you have to take a gas bill with you to prove your address.

    What I worry about is the implementation. It seems like it’s going to be a government app that stores everything. What company is going to develop that? Where’s the data going to be stored and how? What vulnerabilities does it have, and how has this been tested? Is biometric data going to be stored anywhere? etc.

    If they were to let me store my ID in my phone’s built-in wallet, then I’m happy. I know the security and I’m content that my data is safe and recoverable.

    But it doesn’t seem like that’s something that will be possible. So I’m going to object strongly.
