  • Keir Starmer to announce plans for digital ID scheme

    Jump

  • This will make fuck all difference. Employers already do background checks, I've always had to give some kind of ID whenever I've started a new job, and there will always been employers that don't do any checks.

    In theory, this should be one of those things that should make accessing services easier, but we all know this will be a foot in the door to more authoritarian bullshit and be yet another opportunity to show government incompetence.

  • Queuing apparently. Which I really don't understand wtf everyone else is doing to wait their turn. Well I guess except Japan.

  • Also weird from my UK point of view: it's fucking freezing out them I'm not opening the windows. I do get that it's nice to have fresh air and you can always put the window in the vent position, but even when it's really cold you can feel it.

  • What are your recent buy european wins?

    Jump

  • Yeah. The last thing I want to do when I'm not working is to get on another computer.

  • Because you have an enormous library of music, available on any device, instantly without having to download it and transfer it to the device you want to play it on. Also collaborative playlists are pretty sweet, and artist radios to help discover new music based on an artist you like. The vast majority of people don't want to get their PC out to do all this stuff manually.

    Spotify completely stopped me pirating music, never looked back.

  • Stuff...

    Jump

  • Same. It's been a problems for way over 10 years now. I've upgraded to the pixel 9 pro and it's just too big, even though it's one of the smaller modern phones available. It's actually smaller than my previous phone but it seems harder to hold one handed.

  • Stuff...

    Jump

  • Not sure it's really relevant how long someone spends on their phone. The only thing that matters to them are sales, and the simple matter is that larger screens sell better than their smaller counterparts.

  • I knew I should have turned off auto-update ugh

  • Does it work out the box with Chromecast yet? I gave it a go a while ago and it seemed incredibly convoluted, where as Plex just works.

  • ‘I’m a modern-day luddite’: Meet the students who don’t use laptops

    Jump

  • Well you see he's stopped using the internet for his university work. But he still uses the internet for research for his essays.

  • Do you think people drink less alcohol nowadays, and if so why?

    Jump

  • Yes, at least I think it's the csae in the UK. It's one of the many reasons why the pub industry is declining. Apparently the Gen Z demographic don't drink anywhere near as much as the older generations did, and are a lot more health conscious.

  • I've got images of the lecturer giving him death stares every time he starts typing, filling the room with the cliter-clatter of the keys.

  • ‘I’m a modern-day luddite’: Meet the students who don’t use laptops

    Jump

  • They're still using computers to do their university work and submit it though. It's more about them not using a laptop in a lecture hall and using pen and paper instead. That's not really a big deal considering that's probably what most people were doing anyway up until relatively recently.

  • ‘I’m a modern-day luddite’: Meet the students who don’t use laptops

    Jump

  • Title is misleading:

    Nick, a philosophy student at the University of Cambridge, stopped using his laptop for university work in the last year of his undergraduate degree. He still types his essays, but lecture notes, revision, and essay planning are all done by hand.

    The second sentence contradicts the first:

    stopped using his laptop for university work

    then

    He still types his essays

    So basically he's not taking a laptop in to the lecture hall to take notes etc but is still using a computer to complete his work. Which makes sense as pen & paper in that environment is way more practical anyway.
