A local activist provided a copy of the Mike Turtur Shared Path development report (6 Dec 2021).
I'm shocked by the sheer scale of the tree loss and its overall bulk
There are seven (7) regulated or significant trees that are set for the wood-chipper (marked by me in purple) and by my count, over 70 other trees!
We really do not need this development. We can upgrade the amenity and curtilage around the 32 Devon St villa and add /limited/ security video to the Mike Turtur underpass while also widening it slightly. A local heritage place need /not/ be destroyed but may be adapted as a place for security/rail personnel or some other community purpose (if not returned to private hands?).
(I produced this animation from the aerial view in the report, marking trees myself from elsewhere in report and labelled the station and reserve.)

Hi @administrator,
I hope you are having a great day. Please tell me if you experience any other difficulties with that patch file, when you get a chance to reattempt.
That hunk 17 issue can really be ignored if you manually remove the whitespace after "font-size: 0;". You /may/ even be able to apply the same patch file on (a copy of) the /live/ CSS display.css file. Because all the customisation we added appears to be after such patches and so the line numbers in the patchfile /should/ line up perfectly.
Do tell me if there are any issues though.
It would give me great pleasure to see GNUSocial with Elbinario Theme develop into a /consistently/ visually pleasing theme, and I feel like step one is getting the desktop and mobile basic experiences up to par. My understanding is that the theme is currently not 'mobile-first' /or/ even mobile-last? I will be able to do 'mobile-first', but I need to gain my own confidence with the CSS that I'm not breaking anything. (Yes I know that the theme is already currently broken in many ways but I don't want to add to it, of course 😁) -

Each candidate had a character limit of 1000 to put forward a statement. Needless to say, I used all 1000. 😅
Thoughts?

ECSA = Electoral Commission on South Aus'
Their website is the above acronym with dot 'sa.gov.au' on the end. I'm resisting writing the address in its complete form because I find it so unethical. The pages that supposedly show the candidates who nominated are the worst and most offending pages. -

Dear Unleyans, to contact me over XMPP you /should/ be able to trust the address (key) on the flyer, but the self-signed certificate your messaging app will ask you to approve has the 'SHA256 Fingerprint':

It gets worse... I gave #ECSA the benefit of the doubt and allowed the javascript, served both from Microsoft and Microsoft's Azure Cloud.
To my surprise the candidate info on the website still would not load!
This leads me to conclude that the specific javascript that is served by Microsoft servers uses potentially dangerous javascript functions that can be use to target users, because that is the type of javascript blocked by Tor Browser. Bad news for #privacy and security online. It also raises questions about the quality of our democracy in South Australia and the extent to which it could be compromised by a foreign-owned entity.
Should the Electoral Commission SA fix the website?

I regret to inform voters in Unley and across the state that the elections website of ECSA is unethical and a possible surveillance issue. Over the past week I've noticed that it is served at IP address 13.72.243.184. A quick `whois':
$> whois -h whois.arin.net -- '13.72.243.184' > $(date "+%4Y%m%d")_ecsa-13.72.243.184-arin-.whois
...identifies the server as owned by Microsoft Corporation.

Why is all our election and candidate data stored and served by a US multinational, that is both too big, and has other ethical shortcomings?

dsfgs@activism.openworlds.info asked:
> Would that fit with your vision?
Re: Jobseeker service? I wouldn't be against it but would there be demand for someone skilled in recruitment to be at the couple branches? And would there be the casual jobs available at council to have this sort of setup? How popular will the bank even be? If it were popular, maybe a noticeboard in the branch(s) advertising council jobs, and prompting visitors to council's jobs page (https://careers.unley.sa.gov.au/job-search/) if a recruitment person was not physically present.
It might be self-reinforcing, in that some may visit the branch for the job leads and others for the non-lending banking, but following their visit they may gain an interest in the other service too!
It could align with other strategies like water, land use and resilience. For example, in relation to a more ethical response to common plants ("weeding"), by not using "possibly carcinogenic" herbicides, its possible a FOS app can be developed that connects willing workers with council for a morning of "weed" removal, or urban farm work etc. I'm not totally comfortable with an app, even an ethical FOS app, until other issues are resolved surrounding tech. I'm going to say a lot is possible, if and only if council are honest and upfront about challenges and is able to communicate effectively, easily and without pomp.

Thanks for your interest and suggestions!
1.) If the public bank were to act as a recruitment service, it would only be able to recruit into public (aka government jobs). Otherwise we get into the same problems of government "speculating" on or choosing winners and losers and that is exactly a type of problem that got us into messes we are currently in.
Being governed by council, the scope would be further limited to local government jobs.
2.) Are you able to explain the second point about encryption keys in more detail. What is the use case? You want the bank to store your public keys. Will you pay them to do this? They may need to verify you, which will take some effort. Or do you want them to just store any keys with no guarantee of reliable service?

That line is 100% correct. 😁 There is a (�) question mark in a diamond character that I removed from the file in the git repo. You'll see that I replace that line with the same line just with that diamond character removed.
> This is what I get when I run "patch display.css [lots of errors]
Must be a copy-paste problem. I've uploaded the .patch file:
http://bcloudwenjxgcxjh6uheyt72a5isimzgg4kv5u74jb2s22y3hzpwh6id.onion/d1/URI:CHK:gsdzglsvekvgtigz5unlft6gxm:esluowfqfrrxfgmq4yrkijfs6kcnbbmpduphcx7txh4e4ry3rpea:3:10:2517/out.patch
After you get the file the sha256 of it should conform to:
913a1e2bb5d44777643b91cbd16743d10e80deafd46c97950f61cd3d4c997de8
After above you should be able to run:
patch display.css out.patch
(I should have really named it 'input.patch')
Tell me how you go.

Ah! Ok, I was wondering about that! So when someone clicks the 'reply' button I'm going to assume that Javascript is used to add all the needed recipients? One day I will turn on the javascript to test it but I want to be able to learn the non-javascript method of using GNUSocial first. -

Np. Whenever you can do it will be good. You'll notice the interface will be properly centered after that. Then what I'll do is the rest of the CSS that I did which is currently added to the bottom (so don't remove that yet), and then I'll integrate the extra-new stuff (you haven't seen yet).
Again it's not everything that I want to do, but better to chip away at this stuff, than try to do it all at once. 😁
