@CollectTulevan @Lady_Dragon__ @H1BeesNuts @Samsung @Apple Passport should work as the Government have exposed the API to third parties so they can age verify against the passport number.

@Lady_Dragon__ @timeades @H1BeesNuts @Samsung @Apple With passport is a Government ID, so you’re telling me that I specifically have to buy a credit card… Great. And before anyone says anything, I’m not switching to android LOL

Apple iOS 26.4 in the UK what owning nothing looks like. You are not in control of your device, the manufacturer and whoever they must comply with is. Do not buy Apple products. Avoid buying iPhones.

@CollectTulevan @Lady_Dragon__ @H1BeesNuts Even though you don’t drive it’s worth applying for your provisional licence if only to hold it as a form of ID

@timeades @Lady_Dragon__ @H1BeesNuts Yes, but for those of us that do not want a credit card and in my case also cannot drive, they don’t accept debit cards so I have to use my passport because that is my only form of identification. Google however, says passport are not supported, so what am I meant to do?

@DebiEvansMatron So even though you took the video you couldn’t see the Happy Easter on the tops of the packaging?

#Sainsburys I REFUSE to buy an EASTER egg unless it says EASTER 😡 Can you see one with Easter 🐣 on it that I may have missed 👀?? Not ONE that I can see? 😡

@CollectTulevan @Lady_Dragon__ @H1BeesNuts I’ve got my credit cards registered in my wallet so it made no difference to me as they already know I’m 18+

@timeades @Lady_Dragon__ @H1BeesNuts I tried the iOS update, can’t verify for now, so far it’s account only. Cos I can still do as before

@ShakaOnline211 @NoToDigitalID Same ish stuff different device

@NoToDigitalID Apple gave me the whole go ahead to switch to samsung this gen

I will say this again.. THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT IN THE UK ONLINE SAFETY ACT FOR OPERATING SYSTEMS LIKE iOS and LINUX TO ADD AGE VERIFICATION. IT IS NOT A LAW. THEY ARE LYING.

@TheRealJamieKay Cheapest is £1.39

How much is petrol in your area?

@kathrynhall_ Currently spending a few weeks just outside Hastings and Sainsbury’s in town is £1.39, most expensive BP at £1.49 for E10

Fuel up to 1.79 now in our village. I know that's cheap compared to some places. 2 weeks ago it was 1.37. Absolute cashing-in greedy feckers. And that's just the government.

@AutoPap Run in the opposite direction as fast as you can. Blooming electrics on them is a disaster. Don’t think I’ve ever been in one that all the switches actually worked

Need to scratch my itch with one of these one day. One of the most important cars to come out of the US? I think so.

@Rambo33768293 @KathrynPorter26 @RachelReevesMP @griffitha We don’t have or own, we used to until 1985 when BNOC was sold off. Now at best we have private companies extracting the oil under licence and selling it on the open market. That might help with supply but will do nothing to the cost.

@KathrynPorter26 @RachelReevesMP @griffitha Heard you on Times Radio this morning you were superb. Spelt it out correctly. Transition until technology becomes reliable & cost effective NEEDS fossil fuel energy & other goods. What will replace plastics? What lubricates the turbines. Extracting & using our own supply is best

ChatGPT made this graphic for me to illustrate the pump price of petrol... The fuel duty is higher than the crude oil component And then we pay VAT including on the fuel duty!! When @RachelReevesMP talks about fuel profiteering she needs to look in the mirror @griffitha @ClaireCoutinho

@Bitcoin_Cookie @NoToDigitalID Just more shits and giggles getting apps out the door

@timeades @NoToDigitalID Great ... 🫤

🚨That device in your hand? Apple just turned 35,000,000 of them in to a Digital IS screening. How long before this comes to Android?

@Bitcoin_Cookie @NoToDigitalID Android have started rolling it out this month

Android will have a two layer roll out. The first one is the verified apps layer, this is coming within the next 18 months. All app developers (me) have to register. This is good in respect of weeding out scammers. But this is followed by a similar type of layer to the user end. It's a hop and a skip and it's done. 1984 is here. "MiniTrue"

@jordankenny6 @japers_1984 @Brunte84 I think it will be achieved, at the moment there are pieces of the jigsaw missing but the target date is still 25 years away and a lot of technical advances can be made in that time frame

@timeades @japers_1984 @Brunte84 No one will achieve net zero, and they’ll scrap it once they realise how much energy their beloved AI will have to use with data centres

⛽ Next time you hear the Government blame the prices on overseas crisis, think of this 👇🏼 No tax/VAT: 📉 Unleaded 67.0p/litre Diesel 86.1p/litre Full pump price: 📈 Unleaded 143.9p/litre Diesel 166.8p/litre Govt takes ~77p petrol / ~81p diesel per litre (fuel duty 52.95p + 20% VAT). Over half your fill-up is tax 💸

@BenGrahamUK £3 billion is coming from Government and a further £7.5 billion from private money and they will get their return on the investment through tolls to use the tunnel

£1.2 billion spent, before a single brick is laid. The Lower Thames Crossing is now officially a pre construction money pit. £1.2 billion wasted on plans, land, consultants, and bureaucracy, while our roads crumble and communities suffer. Imagine what Britain could do with that money instead: hospitals, schools, fixing potholes, lowering taxes. This isn’t progress, it’s proof that infrastructure in Britain is broken.

@XBToshi Just for balance Android have also implemented age verification but at an App Store level and not OS level as Apple have done.

The UK government wrote the tyrant law, forcing mandated ID to browse the web. Apple enforces it instantly and built the perfect cage. 35 million iPhones just turned into state-monitored devices overnight. You drop $1k on a piece of hardware, but you still need to hand over your ID and credit card just to open a web browser. Everyone is mad at the government. Fair enough. But look at the mechanism. When one mega-corp controls your OS, your App Store, and your browser engine, your $1,200 phone isn't yours. It's just a tracking device you rent from the state. Walled gardens are a trap. Centralized tech will always fold to state demands. A single software update is all it takes to hold your own phone hostage. "Privacy. That's iPhone." Right. Until the regulator asks nicely. Closed ecosystems are massive security risks. Open source and privacy tech aren't just cool cypherpunk ideals anymore. They are literal survival tools. This is exactly why we build permissionless systems. You don't own your tech unless you control the base layer. Build the exit. 🥷

@japers_1984 @Brunte84 They have the same net zero target as the UK and will probably achieve it at the same time but they have been heavily investing in wind and nuclear energy.

@timeades @Brunte84 Exactly, they had the will to look after the people, rather than the will to try and be first to net zero

@japers_1984 @Brunte84 Unlike the UK, that sold off all it's assets to the private sector, the French Government own a significant stake in an Oil Company(TotalEnergies) & own an Energy Company(EDF) giving them the ability to control the cost that little bit more.

@Brunte84 France has the exact same external factors and they kept fuel prices and inflation down:

@Jenny_1884 The High Streets around me seem to be doing very well, Hammersmith, Fulham, Richmond, Kensington, Chiswick, Teddington all have thriving High Streets with a good mix of shops. Yes there are one or two barbers/nail shops/vape shops/charity shops but are insignificant in the mix.

I walked down a high street today & the only shops were charity shops, vape shops, Turkish barbers & nail salons. As I didn’t want any of these I didn’t hang around long. How has this been allowed to happen?

@TheRealJamieKay Angry Birds

Name this band.

@WilkiWheels Interesting, or not, fact. The Microlino brand was started and is owned by the chap that bought the world the Micro Scooter

I think my year has peaked already. This thing is so utterly ridiculous, I absolutely love it and I want one!
