Another cost of the disaster that is the privatisation of water... an increase in hospital admissions for water borne diseases in England.

Its not really rocket science is it; you pump more raw sewage into rivers & water courses, and people are more likely to be exposed to infected water.

Slowly but surely all the various crises in the UK are joining together to become one enormous omnicrisis, and at the centre sits the Tory party!

Hey everyone!

I'm working on a video to see what the Linux community (or at least people who follow me) actually use.

So, I created a little form, hosted on my Nextcloud (hopefully it's up to the task...)

It's only up for 2 days, so don't hesitate to share it around, it will help me "touch grass" and see if my preconceived notions are confirmed, or invalidated!

Of course, it's all anonymous, no personal data, it's just for the purposes of creating the video.

500 miles of Dutch-style cycle tracks built in Britain in the 1930s when cyclists out numbered drivers. What a lost opportunity that this system wasn't maintained and developed further after the 1940s.
