Conservative MP Natalie Elphicke defects to Labour party

@Thebratdragon Even without these Tories that was already the case.
The UK suffers from the same problem the US has: both main parties in essentially an ancient two-party system are right-of-center liberals.
Corbyn might have been on the far left of the party, Starmer is at the far-right of it...

@Thebratdragon @Geri @seb321 it's also the case that in the last 50 years only 2 Labour leaders have ever been elected PM. Harold Wilson (barely) in 1974, and Tony Blair.
That's it. In half a bloody century. And neither of those were anywhere near the left of their party, even though Wilson seems vaguely lefty by today's Labour Party standards.
@Thebratdragon @losttourist @wanwizard @seb321 I recall watching Blair's landslide. I thought this was good news. Six months later.......
IF he had stopped with the GFA, he would have been remembered as a great PM.
BUT his ego would not let him stop there

@seb321 If MPs were allowed to vote freely, without fear of the whip, even that would not be needed, they could just vote down bad policies.
For this reason, in many countries government ministers don't have a seat in parliament, as parliament is there to take the government to account.
Plausible Utopias: the future of Open Recognition - We Are Open Co-op
Previously, we discussed working towards a manifesto for Open Recognition, an initiative which involves envisioning what we might call ‘plausible utopias’. This is work for and on behalf of the Open…Doug Belshaw (We Are Open Co-op)
Es gibt die Überlegung in der Firma alle Projektdateien in Zukunft in #Nextcloud zu speichern und damit dann auch an interne und externe Mitarbeiter zu übergeben, also statt einem anderen #Cloudanbieter halt selber gehostet und mit dem Mehrwert, dass eine dauernde Synchronisation während der Projektlaufzeit zwischen verschiedenen Mitarbeitern möglich ist.
Die Idee aktuell ist, dass wir einen Ordner "Projekte" anlegen, in dem dann in Unterordnern "Projekt1", "Projekt2 bis "ProjektN" die Projektdaten abgelegt sind, auf den Elternordner "Projekte" haben alle Projektleiter Zugriff und die können dann Freigaben für Unterordner erstellen.
Was ist eure Erfahrung? Wie läuft das mit Nextcloud, ggf. im Vergleich zu OneDrive, Dropbox und co?
Ich denke ich werde eine Anleitung schreiben, aus der hervorgeht, wie die Projektleiter das handhaben sollen und eine kürzere für die Mitarbeiter, damit diese nicht ausversehen (oder absichtlich) Daten löschen und damit diese verstehen, dass die bevorzugte Nutzungsart die ist, dass die Daten Synchronisiert bleiben während der Nutzung.

PM of #Lithuania Ingrida #Šimonytė told the FT she had parliamentary permission to send troops to #Ukraine for training purposes — something her government has floated before — but that #Kyiv had not yet asked for this.
Šimonytė acknowledged that #Russia would consider it a provocation, but added: “If we just thought about the Russian response, then we could not send anything. Every second week you hear that somebody will be nuked.”

Grundsatzprogramm der CDU
Ruck nach rechts
Von Stefan Reinecke
Das neue CDU-Grundsatzprogramm riecht streng nach gestern. Das ist gut so, denn eine Zukunft haben die Volksparteien nur, wenn sie voneinander zu unterscheiden sind.

It shouldn't surprise you that they stop you from trying. Imagine a Wikipedia editor trying to remove their edits.
However, what it does give you is the right to host _all_ of SE elsewhere. To fork it, if SE violates its contract with the community. This is how SE was always designed to work. From an interview with Spolsky:
@liaizon Yeah. Some people have already made start at codidact.org
It's not federated, and the SE content isn't fully copied over, but the more nonsense the SE management pulls, the more of this we'll see.

For analogue I like to use an A5 notebook with pre-punched stationery (both common in Japan) but could never find a suitable A5 punch to make printing my own stationery worthwhile. Memo to self: try AliExpress (haven't looked for one for years).
For digital *nothing* beats MLO (https://MyLifeOrganized.net). I don't need it as much now but pay for updates bc it's made by Ukrainians under fire. Long since the only Windows app I run (on Linux).

Scratching through >3years of files to work out what should be saved that hasn’t already been shared… finding enigmatic notes and pictures to myself, like this treasure from Feb 2022, when I was chewing over what I believed to be a balanced organising/bargaining agenda for #tradeUnions on the datafication of our workplaces/workforces/working lives…
Honestly can’t remember all of what I had in mind at this moment, but that left hand stream is too often overlooked.
