@padeluun Es ist ein rutschiger Abhang. Sobald der Überwachungsstaat eingerichtet ist, wird er für schändliche Zwecke genutzt. Die Geschichte hat uns das gut gelehrt. Ich sage oft, dass es sowieso jemanden gibt, der bereit ist, die Taten eines Regimes zu tun, egal wie böse oder bösartig die Aufgabe ist

@brabo yes, it's Jitsi, which we saw as a positive 🙂. We rarely have more than 10 ppl at a session and it's so far proven to be a good fit for our needs.
I was irrationally irritated by them emailing me with an expiry date in North American format (I live in the UK & they know it) but... wait for it!
When I went to cancel the subscription, they offered me a discount for staying. Yes, I know it's common but that's no way to reward loyal customers, by charging them more.
We're using a European alternative and our piloting has been pretty successful. And, as a bonus, they even use the term expiry rather than expiration for the end date of the subscription.
Just finished 'The Bingo Hall Detectives' by Jonathan Whitelaw, a cosy crime tale with interesting characters, easy to read style and a great in-between book, especially as some of the books I read are a slog.
I surprised myself by liking the book very much. In fact, I am reading the next in the series, 'The Village Hall Vendetta' which features the same characters. I have to admit that I want to shake Jason (son-in-law) sometimes. He can be such a wet!
Want to read something to the kids? I suggest 'The Dingle Valley' series by Joseph Murphy-James. My discerning grandsons enjoyed it, and that's quite an accolade!
A couple of windows of the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle on the Northumbrian Coast, the lower one showing two people walking in the grounds of the ruin.
