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 😀

@jackgilmore.bsky.social Reading this thread reminded me of the discussion about access in your Gamifying session at #ODCamp

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

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.

Paging @annielegge.bsky.social - you might know someone that does this?

Pauline Roche @paulineroche.bsky.social · 9d

That should be @elizabethdigi.bsky.social

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) 😀

What a fantastic wishlist @richardpope.org - we in #CivilSociety live in hope Cc @willguv.bsky.social

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.)

Hi Jeni, Late to the party (if it's still running) but if this part of the discussion is ongoing, hope @[email protected] is involved #DigitalInclusion #Libraries #Librarians

Pauline Roche @paulineroche.bsky.social · 9d

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 · 14d

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.

Pauline Roche @paulineroche.bsky.social · 9d

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

Pauline Roche @paulineroche.bsky.social · 9d

Hi Leigh, Thought you'd like to know that you got a mention at #ODCamp 10 this weekend - by me in a session on Gamifying improvement/collection of #OpenData; hope all is well with you 😀

Pauline Roche @paulineroche.bsky.social · 9d

Great to see you again Mike! And thanks for coming to at least one of my sessions 😊

Pauline Roche @paulineroche.bsky.social · 9d

Great to see you again Ian; and #Edinburgh looked beautiful 😍
