Would you say that small charities need to be concerned about this on behalf of the people they support Andy?

If you haven't already, request a Carers Assessment which is a legal right; check out @carers-uk.bsky.social and/or your local Carers organisation eg Birmingham has Forward Carers forwardcarers.org.uk; get good sleep xx

We are Forward Carers and we care for carers across the country.

Forward Carers is a carers support service, here to make a difference to the lives of people caring for an elderly frail, sick or disabled family member.

It probably wasn't one of my better ideas to start reading Bluesky (yes, the whole platform) at 11.30pm but here we are...thanks to @odcamp.uk @paulclarke.com and @blangry.bsky.social amongst others for making it feel (a bit) like the good old days 😀

For anyone who came to the #DigitalIDs session this past weekend at @odcamp.uk, this thread from @paulclarke.com is essential reading #ODCamp

Paul Clarke @paulclarke.com · 19d

I'm seeing so many takes around parts of the "ID card" melange, I have to add a few.

It's not about cards. It's about registers. A register is a definitive 'true source' of data, about people, places, buildings, whatever.

Was hoping you wouldn't ask me to remember that...I think it was something to do with street furniture? Did you used to use the term 'Magpie'?

@dsit-answers.bsky.social What a fab account you are! As we in Ireland would say "Hon the librarians" (it's a positive expression) 😀

All digital services must work well on sub-par connections, with sub-par devices, and make sense to "sub-par" users. For key individual-facing services a functional non-digital alternative must be retained. (Nothing original in any of this.)

Late to this party but what you said Dan, thanks - think Elizabeth Anderson at Digital Poverty Alliance would agree; missed you at #ODCamp 10 btw - hope to see you at the next one 😉

@elizabethdigi.bsky.social Thought you might enjoy this quote #DigitalInclusion

Gavin Deichen @gdeichen.bsky.social · 20d

These things always get repurposed. You'd immediately have to use the ID, with no exceptions, for loads of everyday services. Losing it would put your life on hold.

We live in an analogue world - the more digital it gets, the more ridiculous it will get, and the more cruel it could get.

Great thread Alex - lots of this was said in my session on #DigitalIDs at #ODCamp this past weekend

Getting home after #ODCamp was similarly time-consuming: lift (from an Edinburgh-based friend) to Edinburgh Airport, late (and delayed) flight to Dublin, coach to Galway, local bus, then walked the last 1.2km #GladToBeHome

Proud to be the originator of "Open Charlatans Register" at Open Data Camp (@odcamp.uk) today.
