On my phone, while using Google Contacts app to enter someone's new telephone number, I chose this country code:
🇨🇦 Canada

After saving the edit, the app has changed the flag beside the country code:
🇺🇸 Uni.ted Sta.tes

That's a rather tone-deaf change of data that I intentionally entered, since Canada is pointedly not part of the Unit.ed S.tates.

Coding decisions can be political and offensive.

@eff Submission to #UK Consultation on #Digital #ID

Last September, the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced plans to introduce a new digital ID scheme in the country. The scheme aims to make it easier for people to prove their identities by creating a virtual ID on personal devices with information like names, date of birth, nationality or residency status, and a photo to verify their right to live and work in the country.

How interesting.. a friend has twin daughters who are in their early 30s. One had a load of hassle getting through passport control in Poland because the EU digital ID system clearly doesn't know how to handle identical twins! Immigration was convinced she was not herself but her sister (who had been on holiday recently and already been through the new ID system.) Presumably whichever one goes through the system first becomes the 'default' twin. #Twin #Doppelganger #Digital #ID

Unless the Supreme Court of Canada once again puts ageism before the Charter, there's no way this nonsense survives a Charter challenge: https://www.freezenet.ca/culture-minister-says-government-seriously-considering-age-verification/.

Lies and truths about ticks.

“I’m not sure what gets us through this,” he adds, with a note of exhaustion. “We’re at a time now—and RFK Jr. is a ringleader of this as a major conspiracy theorist—where people create their own truths, including scientific truths.”
