- Comment on Comedian’s visa sabotaged, war crimes suspects cheered through 1 week ago:
It’s technically illegal for an Australian citizen to fight for another country IIUC.
No, it’s not illegal to fight in the armed forces of another country, it’s illegal to fight under any other circumstances:
Under Part 5.5 of the Criminal Code, it is an offence to:
- enter a foreign country with an intention to engage in a hostile activity, unless serving in or with the armed forces of the government of a foreign country
- prepare to enter, or for another person to enter, a foreign country with an intention to engage in a hostile activity
- recruit persons to join an organisation engaged in hostile activities, or to serve in or with an armed force in a foreign country.

There may be organisations violating the law against recruitment with regards to the IDF, though: …com.au/lone-soldiers-new-australian-idf-recruits…
- Comment on Federation between Aussie.Zone & Quokk.au is getting even worse 1 week ago:
Still not looking good, unfortunately. I just cross-posted something to !auspol@quokk.au, and when viewed on aussie.zone there’s nothing on that community before my post for 3 months. In reality, there’s dozens of posts on the community in that period.

Oh, nice! Ghost is open source and supports ActivityPub to integrate with the fediverse.
Doesn’t look like lastplaceonearth.com.au has it enabled, though
- Comment on WA Labor candidate Georgia Tree quickly walks away from influencer asking her about her background working for Woodside | Punters Politics 2 weeks ago:
Uh oh, I’ve made an arse of myself by not watching the video first 😆
To apologise, I’ve taken the time to look into the actual person/account you were talking about 😆 ‘The Last Place On Earth’ have a website (looks to run on Substack) and a podcast.
There’s also a text article about that particular encounter (www.lastplaceonearth.com.au/running-polling) that was co-published with Crikey, at which point I think it’s totally fair to just call them a journalist.

Maybe ‘podcaster’ or ‘YouTuber’? The Wikipedia page labels ‘Punter’s Politics’ as a podcast: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punter's_Politics
They seem to post a lot on various social media too, though, so I see where you’re coming from.
- Comment on Australia’s China policy built on a strategic double standard - Independent Australia 2 weeks ago:
Good article.
It’s beyond farcical when our government expresses support for bombing Iran and then criticises a missile test as ‘destabilising’.

- Comment on Segal’s speech code meets the law: Justice Fagan wrecks Canberra’s Israel exception 2 weeks ago:
the field with “just a moment” … no idea if that is a source site issue, or just my ignorance again.
It’s not just you, that’s how all previews for that site load for me, too.
I suspect their DDOS protection software/service gets in the way for small platforms, like fediverse instances, while letting major social media platforms straight through.
- Comment on Segal’s speech code meets the law: Justice Fagan wrecks Canberra’s Israel exception 2 weeks ago:
Oh, I only just saw this!
Yeah, it’s not very intuitive at the moment. I like the suggestion that user made. Unfortunate the developers closed it, but they’ve got a lot on their plate, I guess.
They took two years to close it, so they’re probably somewhat sympathetic. A lot of people use third-party apps, though, some of which presumably address the issue in their UI.

every time I ‘add photo’ it uploads it (from file) but then also changes the url, it’s a little weird
Yeah, you’re not the first to be tripped up by it!
Basically, the ‘URL’ and the ‘Image’ fields are mutually exclusive. Either one of them can be the ‘primary content’ of a post, and you can only have one ‘primary content’. So if you use one, it wipes the other.
There is an alternative though!
If the content preview won’t load for a link, or you otherwise want to set a picture manually, you need to use the ‘Thumbnail URL’ field instead.
A handy way I use is to upload an image in the body field, then cut the URL from there and paste it in the ‘Thumbnail URL’. That way the image is re-hosted on the Lemmy instance, which is probably better than putting in a ‘Thumbnail URL’ pointing to another site.
