Seems to me there's a clear call to right in the UK to escalate to violence and greater intimidation. Those of us who are not on the right really need to consider starting some form of defence groups in preparation for when things get pretty tough... which I think is inevitable now.

Agree with Navidrome. Works great in browser and the Substreamer ios app.

Definitely. Most of the time communities are friendly and supportive - but I've noticed too that there are users who seem deliberately scratchy and saying things that are looking to provoke and who become fizzy if they're challenged in any way about something they've said. I wondered if it's much younger users who are coming from other places having picked up the "fight me" attititude there.

The sentence in their manifesto was: "We will also introduce a supervised tooth-brushing scheme for 3-to-5 year olds, targeting the areas of highest need."

Scheme. Of supervised brushing for pre-school children in some areas. Far from compulsory. Looking at the reported comments by politicians like Streeting at the time it was clear this wasn't compulsory in the way you asserted. (I have to be clear that I'm no Labour supporter. Far from it.)

When was there compulsory toothbrushing in schools declared? Schools have been asked to teach children how to brush their teeth (which is something that used to be taught in post wat schools up until 1980s). Not compel children to brush teeth.

Is this the sort of thing you're looking for?

https://www.files.gallery/

It's a php file you drop into a folder that creates a gallery of the files (including pdfs). There are security settings and visual customisations you can change. If you know what you're doing you can access the file remotely, too. I've used it for a while and found it helpful.

Good thing too... if those rich people had to pay tax then they'd leave the country. Who would pay all that tax that they don't pay if they did leave... er... er.... it made sense when the posh man said it on the radio this morning and his poshness made me believe it with all my poverty-stricken heart.

For me it's a conspiracy theory (and most likely untrue) - but it's quite an interesting one rather than "stupid". Raises ideas about authenticity and what people are doing when they go to look at artifacts in museums. There HAVE been paintings, for instance, hung in galleries for years that have turned out to be forgeries but - for a long time people were happy staring at the "art". Also, ones that have been restored beyond a point where they are pretty much not the original piece. How much would it alter things if the Marbles were all replaced with exact replicas at the British Museum?

Isn't there a conspiracy theory that everything on show at the British Museum is a replica anyway and that the real artifacts are carefully stored elsewhere?

It's great. I've been using it for nearly a year and it just works brilliantly.

Do you think I could get away with some serious financial crime if I just quoted the Psalms and declared I was a repentant sinner? I'd be happy to pray for any of my potential victims if that helps.

You might be in with a chance... of higher water bills. Just for your friends, of course.

 

Does anyone know why there's no desire to see a working standard (protocol) for calendar/tasks?

It's clear that CalDAV doesn't function consistently across devices (and does seem to be dying as a standard). If you work across different devices/OS it's virtually impossible to get things set up seamlessly. Companies and developers of task apps seem happy to create silos and not look at interoperability.

If you want to self-host, it's too hard to do this and you really are limited to a tiny number of options.
