I am just contacting the CMA to suggest that,

a) asbig tech should not be allowed to dictate laws and bully to change laws. by blocking access to news.

I am also suggesting we need to get behind alternatives more, e.g decentralised social media,

I would really encourage others here to do the same, it may make a difference, if nothing it gets the name fediverse, mastodon etc out there so people have actually heard of it.

Lets make ourselves heard!, The more people who do, the louder we will be.

New Community Ward Fund to improve your local area
park

A new fund of £54,000 to help spruce up local areas has been made available to Ward Councillors.

After years of austerity and hard decisions being made on not replacing or fixing the small things in local communities the new Community Ward Find could be used to:

Freshen up and/or fix play equipment and seating in local parks
Replace or freshen up signage, for example road signs
Fix and/or re-paint fences and gates on council land

Ward Councillors and Community Partnerships will work together with their local communities to gather ideas of grass roots projects and proposals that this fund could be used on.

@TorbayUK may be interested in this need to share here due to number of words in post

Hope this helps

Could be good for displaying on websites or sending to people.

@gairsty How close is the garage as if the house caught fire would the fire easily jump from house to Garage,

Not sure if that is a good benchmark though.

I guess also if the house got struck by lightning then while the electrics are connected to the main house it would be via a separate connection on the consumer unit thingy.

@trinsec Yes, institutions need .to be careful what they install

Interesting, not sure who this fierce competition is from though, unless it is the fediverse,

Anyway I agree with what is being said here, they are just too powerful,

@lupyuen Or let those who get it right, know they are doing the right thing,

@lupyuen Indeed, thanks, So far I have not found the point in them either.

Most other providers such as the OU have a clean, simple website, easy to find information / courses, easy way to contact and ask questions etc, how things should be.

Make me rather concerned that if this is seen as a 'cool' idea it will end up on more websites esp if taught as part of courses that it is good to do that.

@trinsec I am currently creating an Open University Science Club newsletter in LaTeX, this is going really well at the moment.
