UK-based people:
Our UK Government have created a Water Commision to look at how to deal with the problems of privatisation, but have banned the Commmision from considering Nationalisation.
Email the Water Commision before their enquiry closes on the 23rd.

On the original website, it's possible to read the content without having any scripts running.
On the new website, you have to enable the scripts, and dismiss the pop-up's before you can read the content.
It may not look as "modern" but the older version jsut works. :D

Have you tried Fallout and Fallout 2?
Very different flavour of narrative experience. :D

Also, i read some interviews with Tolkein, when he was asked about the comparisons between the One Ring and Nuclear Weapons technologies.
He didn't think much of the comparisons, but said that if the One Ring was here, then it would have been used during WWII... 🤦♂️

It's difficult to get someone to understand when their salary depends upon them not inderstanding. :D
Most of the authoritarian warlords get their power from hydraulic despotism caused by fossil fuel scarcity, so... :D

Surely an AI would help... 🤣
What sort of AI would you get if the only training set was the Voynich Manuscript? :D

It's amazing how, at first, people don't notice when you swap them over with the motivational posters in the workplace... :D
Billy Smith
Have you heard of Demotivators? :D

TY for the offer, but we've got a HP 4700. A similar donation. :D
I'll shout on the mailing list and see if any of the members are interested. :D

This would be useful. :D
Anything that makes it easier to create co-operatives will help everyone.
The docs we create could be used to create simple templates that can be used by other groups without their incurring legal fee's.
CoopsUK have a similar set of model rules and templates docs for co-operatives operating in the UK legal system.

Some excellent news for the Open--Source ecosystem. :D
FreeCAD has hit the 1.0 release. :D

Just signed this petition about the continuing corruption in the UK governmental system:
https://goodlawproject.org/petition/remove-the-governments-protest-adviser/
The person that decided that climate protesters, and, pro-Palestine protesters were serious criminals, was receiving bribes from the fossil fuel industry, and, from the arms companies selling munitions to Israel.

Excellent work :D

Another group worth talking with is Founders & Coders, based in London.
They're always looking for interesting programming work for their students.
https://www.foundersandcoders.com/
They work closely with CoTechUK :D

There's also the question of context. :D
Few departments in any bureaucracy will push for an idea that would make those departments obsolete, even if it would benefit the organisation as a whole. :D
This means that there will ALWAYS be idea's that cannot be discussed.

Remember if you're in the UK, you have 6 days to register to vote:

Or the move from SlashDot to SoylentNews.
Simplest way: If you see a service that has hints of this, warn your friends, and, get a large bucket of popcorn.
