My dog thinks every day is squirrel awareness and lets me know very vocally. The local squirrels also remind us both of how many trees we have in Milton Keynes as they hop from one to the next ๐Ÿ˜‰

An artificially complex XML schema as a lock-in tool - The Document Foundation Blog A document format is a tool for sharing knowledge and, as such, should be as simple and accessible as possible in relation to the complexity of the document content itself. This remains true even when...

I've previously had problems opening old Word files with new Word software. Fortunately rescued them with LibreOffice. Now I use ODF format for creating & saving files, converting to .docx if needed. ooxml was supposed to be a "standard". First of a series blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/07...

A one sided argument as there is no way to show it isn't the worst. It is a tax levied by private companies in agreement with the government for a vital necessity.

Water charges are a tax levied on us by private companies with the agreement of the government. We only have Hobson's choice for a vital necessity.

Even expensive things can be cost effective. A problem cannot be solved if you refuse to recognise it.

Until western businesses pay all workers anywhere in the world a living wage, those businesses must be taxed and the tax used to make up the difference. The world has enough food, it is greed that leaves people starving.

Lifetime of earnings not enough for UK workers to join wealthiest 10%, report says Research finds it would take average worker saving all their earnings for 52 years to match wealth of richest 10th of society

The wealthy have taken us back to before the first world war. Not just in job prospects but attitudes to others as well. We have seen there is a better way to live with each other and share more fairly. I hope it doesn't take another two world wars. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

When Robert Jenrick says something clearly racist and denies it is racist, it confirms how racist he is. I don't want a country like his "Britian".

I have enjoyed reconnecting here with people I connected to in the 'other place' so I don't think you will be forgotten if you make that choice. Best wishes for a good day today anyway.

I get the impression it is bacuase it is cheaper, not more cost effective. How many jabs can you give if you save one hospital stay? Plus, I don't like getting sick!

Don't let our rulers have too much cash to spend on wars. Then it was the monestries, today it is services: NHS, water, energy, public transport. Keep the money where it helps us.

Best wishes. In the UK we have a TV series "Long Lost Family" that you might have come across. The need for connection is so important for many people.

APOD: 2025 October 4 โ€“ The Rotating Moon A different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.

Though the main NASA #APOD page isn't being updated due to the US Govt shutdown, APOD continues on; you can catch your daily dose of #astro goodness at a mirror site, such as www.star.ucl.ac.uk/~apod/apod/a...
