** CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR DEVS! **

Hi gang, what one or two things do you have as a developer/nerd/geek/technie that you think other folks like us would love? I want to build up a Christmas list for us all, to either suggest bits from to partners who like that sort of thing, or if you're buying your own nerdling a present, you have some ideas.

PLEASE PUT:
* thing/product/service/whatever
* why it's awesome
* link
* price

That way people can sift through easily.
Thanks! :)

Today I have evidence to the Home Affairs committee on digital ID on behalf of @openrightsgroup. I urged the committee to to picture the person they disagree with most politically being in charge of a Digital ID system. To build something that protected society from that abuse of power. Link to the session is here https://parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/856ac805-ceea-4790-a564-ba0173f80325 #DigitalID #Privacy

This is remarkably sensible and level-headed.
We need politicians who are willing to explore. Even better, we need politicians who are able to do a retro on what did and didn't work.

Morning-after pill now available for free in pharmacies across England #News ##GoodNews

Women across #England will be able to get the morning-after pill free of charge in pharmacies from today.

The move – hailed by officials as the biggest change to sexual health services since the 1960s – is expected to be innovative in making care more accessible.

Emergency #contraception is free from most GPs and sexual health clinics, but can cost up to £30 from pharmacies.

From Wednesday, however, the pill will be available for free from almost 10,000 community pharmacies without the need for an appointment with a family doctor or clinic.
