@joho@mastodon.online You need a login to check the weather on the Met Office aviation weather site (or you did when I used it).
I thought this was useful as it gave an audit trail - the crash investigators would know that you *had* checked the weather and would be able to rule out "pilot couldn't be arsed to check the weather" as a cause.

@TimWardCam@c.im I'm all for authentication and verification, when there's a point, when it adds something, when it actually makes things better. When it becomes a invasive privacy issue for citizens that are already under surveillance by governments *and* tech giants, it's not quite the same thing. Rule #1: Politicians should need to understand what they're actually trying to pass laws for, and how that works in reality. Rule #2: See Rule #1
