From the website:

Local council elections present a significant opportunity for our solidarity movement. Electing pro-Palestinian councillors will give our movement the power to pass resolutions condemning Israel’s genocidal war on Palestine, ensure council prioritises human rights, and opposes human rights abuses and war crimes. Councils have the power to update their procurement and investment policies to align with ethical standards, including divesting from companies that support or profit from Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine. By taking these actions, councils can drive change and bolster support for the solidarity movement at both state and federal levels.

I did this a few weeks ago. Much easier for us because we live in a tiny studio apartment. Working from home kinda inspires you to keep you're shit together nice and neat.

In one of his videos, Daniil (not the interviewer in this video but the interviewer who started this channel) spoke about how it was getting harder to find people who wanted to speak on camera and even when they did find someone they would often get in touch to ask about taking the video down. The inference was they probably got a visit or call from local police or some other pressure to not be on camera.

In comparison to some of Daniil's later videos filled with folks repeating Russian media talking point (another reason Daniil gave up on street interviews) this video seems quite refreshing. Hope they are able to continue making more.

What's everyone got planned for this week? Work, work, work?

I think it's still an open issue.

For anyone unaware, Harry does indeed become a cop (auror).

Surely that only worked because many teal voters were previously Coalition voters so presumably they're trying to win back those former supporters of theirs in the hopes it will be enough to defeat the Teal candidates.

I've recently retired an old aio to be our tv using libreelec. There's a new-ish bundled skin called copacetic which is highly configurable and I'm slowly organising the interface to move away from the conventional menu style interface that most other skins still use to something more like the interface of a steaming service. Copacetic has a video that demos some of what you can do.

You can get Gentoo up and running pretty quickly by following the handbook. From memory it's easy to miss one or two clear instructions because the styling of the handbook can add more eye-catching weight to the explanation than the actual commands. So be sure to re-read areas where things don't seem to working out.

Gentoo also has a binary repo if you don't plan to stray from whatever installation profile defaults you start off with.

I can't confirm a simple server install of Gentoo is somehow more lean than any other distribution.

I've used gentoo-install with success previously although I don't know how up to date it is.

Cosmologically what is 'the full force of the law'?

The City of Sydney council will consider scrapping its contracts with companies linked to Israel, including a printing agreement with Hewlett Packard, after Lord Mayor Clover Moore supported a renewed push from the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement.

Moore and her independent team backed a Greens motion on Monday night calling for the state’s wealthiest council to audit divestments that had or could be made to ensure it did not invest in or profit from human rights violations, “including the illegal occupation of the settlements in Palestinian territories, and the supply of weapons”.

Police should be relegated to back-up support for mental health workers or not respond at all to call-outs for severely mentally ill people in crisis, a major NSW inquiry has concluded.

But the recommendation fell short of demanding the reform be urgently implemented despite the deaths of more than 50 people during or as a result of police responding to mental health emergencies across NSW in the past five years, and strong support from mental health experts, patients, families and police.

I read the question and discussion started by @[email protected] and it got me thinking about where Bruce Perens' Post-Open Licence project was at. I missed the news that a first draft has been published.

The announcement from Bruce includes the below summary:

At the link below is the first draft of the Post-Open License. This is not yet the product of a qualified attorney, and you shouldn’t apply it to your own work yet. There isn’t context for this license yet, so some things won’t make sense: for example the license is administered by an entity called the “POST-OPEN ADMINISTRATION” and I haven’t figured out how to structure that organization so that people can trust it. There are probably also terms I can’t get away with legally, this awaits work with a lawyer.

Because the license attempts to handle very many problems that have arisen with Open Source licensing, it’s big. It’s approaching the size of AGPL3, which I guess is a metric for a relatively modern license, since AGPL3 is now 17 years old.

You read that right.
