@fu asked:
"Do you equally support governments making non-free software illegal?"
I'm seeking a mandate to begin Council's transition to FOS and move from dot-'cons' and 'dis-services'. Just yesterday I posted about some ways we can do this and help people make the transition to ethical software and services.
I also intend to start a fully-FOS, BTC/XMR friendly, non-lending public bank, called Un(ley)Bank. It would have its app on #FDroid. For those who are resistant to crypto but who still wish to have psuedo-anonymous transations online, I would like to see Un(ley)Bank adopt #GNUTaler also. (...yes. 🥴 *slightly nervous face*)

@fu @lnxw48a1 @lxo Thanks for your question, Ji Fu.
I'm putting this glyphosate-ban forward at the Mayor election so people can vote on it. Admittedly, a referendum would be best because I'm not a single-issue candidate, but a glyphosate-ban isn't controversial enough for that. This is not an agricultural zone, per se (though I do want to boost urban growing). The Council is the main buyer of the weedkiller. Individuals could arguably buy it outside the region, but I will seek to go after vendors selling food with elevated levels, just like Council randomly tests for other contaminants. I simply hope that by talking about this we can boost the drive to end its use.

Agree. Even people who shop ethically need basic protections against fraudulent claims/conduct (see Happy Baby).
