Can access chats ATM because I'm still banned from it when I was on break. I've also heard of the yoti fine, what was is about?
@so_very_tired it was to do with data being used improperly basically, Iโm sure someone else could explain it better than I can.
Your chat ban will presumably be lifted today if youโre off your break now, so you should be able to get in soon.
might look into the yoti stuff myself and i plan to wait a couple of hours and if i still cant acsess chats, im going to dm staff.
@so_very_tired i wrote about it a bit in a post on the community update thread. Essentially, Yoti got fined under GDPR laws. Specifically for breaching article 9 (unlawful biometric processing), article 5.1(e) (excessive data retention), and article 7 (invalid consent). Now, a few disclaimers, it applied only to the digital ID app from my understanding and Yoti are currently appealing the ruling, but given the importance of data protection, the Mix want to be 100% certain there's no new risks given that recent development, and so delayed it to get legal advice on the matter. Which, i have to say, huge credit to the mix for. They took the new developments seriously, and paused the rollout until they are certain everything is fully GDPR compliant and safe, from my understanding, which tells me they are 100% serious about data protection.

I'll post a link here for more information about the yoti fine: https://www.dataguidance.com/news/spain-aepd-fines-yoti-eu950000-unlawful-processing
@so_very_tired welcome back btw
I have no idea what any of that means, but I think I get the idea.
maybe but its still confusing.
yeah its crazy how you need to do so much just to get a volunteering role.
I understand the changes are tough @so_very_tired you definitely aren't alone with that
Yh, Some paid jobs are easier to get than volunteering @toffuna101 like woah
A big problem with these changes is that I can't stay after these changes are implemented even if I wanted to. I have no ID that I can use to verify my age and I can't get one either because I have no passport and I don't have access to my birth certificate and I have a feeling I'm not the only one either.
fr they really are
Yh you aren't bro, like id is expensive like a passport is ยฃ100 ish which can be hard to get hold of these days but I think theres alternatives if you don't have ID or can't afford it. I hope you can get sorted with something coz i missed you, we can keep in touch on side by side though, i tried to message you there BTW bro
I know off the PASS card that should work with yoti and it's only ยฃ15, but I need some for of ID to make that work like a passport or a birth certificate, both of which I don't have either because I don't have one or my family won't give it to me. Also, why couldn't you contact me on Side by Side? Do you need my profile because I can post it on here for you. Also, I really missed our chats and I'm glad we can have them again.
I think I went to British Heart foundation to try to volunteer in a shop where my programme was at the time, they wanted multiple referees, its a bit ridiculous, also charity shops can be a bit hit and miss on how they treat you, I didnt feel like I had the best experience at mine, it wasnโt British heart foundation in the end, they didn't get back to me which is a bummer but I did it a different place, charity shop, so grumpy and I wasn't appreciated I felt. I'd have to get up and drive to the place, Im not a morning person too, then work for free and I felt like I wasnโt getting anything from it, if anything just negativity like it kinda was hurtful to confidence as I felt like me and work wasn't valued enough to get paid. The place used to be a farm foods yearrrs ago , I didn't expect to be there 20 plus years later (im so old lol) working for free. Anyway, them days are over, I was gonna say hopefully but I think they are pretty much. Hopefully its uphill for both of us.
my back rly hurts.been sat awkwardly on bus.
how is everyone?
Hey @eylah iโm ok ta, Iโm exhausted now, Iโve been out to the shop today to get my sister a birthday card and Iโve hoovered half the house (just downstairs, the cordless hoover doesnโt go all the way round without a charge).
How are you? Iโm sorry to hear your back is hurting, is it feeling any better?
I'm fine rn. Making tikka masala for dinner.
@so_very_tired
Iโm not sure if itโs in certain areas but have a look at B_line cards
or Yoti can issue you an age verification virtual ID
or college ID if your in college?
โจ ๐ฏโโ๐ฎ โ๐ฎ โณโฐ โจ

Reluctantly went into Asda today and I have a feeling I will have a wrap day. BTW for people who didn't attend yesterday's chat, I'm not going to get paid work by June so that's nice.
idk if I slept bad or what but itโs gotten worse :/ Iโm in so much pain with it
โจ ๐ฏโโ๐ฎ โ๐ฎ โณโฐ โจ
Finally finished at Asda, my back hurts and my legs ache. Tommorow morning will be a real fun time.
I think my bus was cancelled because of a teachers day at college. Have to wait till five now to get a bus home.
edit: bus showed up, I am stupid
@Nathan , how's you? I wanted to check how your sleep been and everything with you?
Hi @Redemption, i'm doing fine thanks. I appreciate you checking in on me bro. My sleeps been a bit messy since i started some new medication, with the hallucinations, but other than that, i've been fine thanks. How are you doing today? i remember you said earlier that there was a few problems with your family, did you manage to find out if everything was okay?
