The Guardian only talks about Warhol, but there was a total of 46 art works lost. They weren’t all made by him.

In case of minors and pornography, most societies have come to the conclusion that there is no problem with that.

If some people want to fight this, they should fight this issue (this would be very much a losing battle in all places in my opinion), not age verification systems, because the second would not exist without laws like the first one.

Italian people are already used to having the army do public order tasks; operation “safe roads” was introduced in 2008 and has been renewed ever since, by every government. This operation is essentially just the use of military personnel for patrol, deterrence and setting checkpoint in Italian cities.

I believe it is important to sooner or later discuss this and to end it, as it has negative effects on the soldiers and also in general on how law enforcement is structured and thought of by governments and politicians. However this is by no means a proposal that for the first time would give military personnel responsibilities for public order nor it has anything to do with fascism.

Be it by birth, by hormones or whatever, he/she does not qualify as a woman. That’s a fact.

Khelif has been allowed to compete in female boxing by the IOC under their parameters, and by various other tournaments in the past.

That’s also the reason why the opponent of this particular fight, resisted to bump gloves after the fight, which is usually performed, out of rejection for that unfair fight.

This is not the explanation that Angela Carini gave to the public when interviewed. She said that she was overwhelmed by the fight, which she ended by retiring after 46 seconds, and could not think straight. She apologised for it. You are putting words in her mouth.

And history has shown Khelif was NOT allowed to fight agains other female atheltes in the past.

Khelif has took part in female boxing for the majority of her life.

The far right prime minister of Italy attacked Khelif saying that it’s an injustice that she was allowed to compete, and far right politicians all over the world have started calling her a man flat out.

Why did the IOC, which has been organising boxing at the Olympics since 2019, come to the opposite conclusion of the IBA when considering Khelif’s participation?

All of these claims clash with the reality of so many core open source projects, used by private users and massive corporations alike, that rely on single voluntary developers or super small groups which receive no flowers and no donations.

GNOME 3 was officially launched a few months after OS X Lion, but combined these things into one first.

How it manages to use up more resources than KDE is beyond me.

It can happen when you have to develop all your technology on your own instead of relying on the work of a hundred-million dollar company that does the heavy lifting for you.

What does the founder of GNOME have to do with GNOME in 2022? He worked for Microsoft for 6 years.

Right, Midnight Trains was a French company trying to create a European night train network that centred on France, specifically on Paris. I think they found out the hard way that for various reasons, as they detailed in their blog, France might not be the best country in which to organise such a company; it also might have been simply too ambitious of a project for the current market.

Sono sorpreso del fatto che non si parli di unificazione di SPID e CIE, anzi sono riportati degli obiettivi numerici per i prossimi 3 anni sulle autenticazioni tramite entrambi gli strumenti: arrivare nel 2026 a 1,1 miliardi di autenticazioni SPID (partendo da 1 miliardo nell’arco del 2023) e appena a 50 milioni di autenticazioni con CIE, cioè meno del 5% di quelle SPID. Forse al governo hanno capito che SPID non sarà mai sostituito da CIE perché è già molto più radicato, e hanno smesso di puntare alla fantomatica unificazione. O meglio, forse vogliono nascondere questa unificazione dietro all’arrivo del futuro wallet europeo.

E’ preoccupante che sia messo nero su bianco quello che era già trapelato altre volte dall’inizio del governo Meloni: un severo rallentamento dei processi di digitalizzazione della PA, il disinteresse dei partiti di destra e dei membri di governo su questo tema e il dilatarsi di scadenze che prima sembravano alle porte: a fine 2021 è stato approvato il passaggio di SPID a OpenID Connect, l’implementazione per i provider è obbligatoria da maggio 2022, a inizio 2023 sono state aggiornate per l’armonizzazione con CIEid. Se è già tutto pronto perché nel nuovo piano si dà come termine dell’implementazione gennaio 2025? Cosa (non) si è fatto fino adesso? SPID per i minori (controllato dai genitori) esiste già, perché la Zecca dello Stato, che assieme al Ministero dell’Interno gestisce CIEid, per fare la stessa cosa ci metterà fino ad aprile 2025?

Da fine maggio hanno implementato l’accesso di livello 1 e 2 anche con la CIE, che si attiva la prima volta con i codici PIN e PUK e poi funziona allo stesso modo di SPID. Come ho postato su !news però questo sistema non è affatto popolare dopo 7 mesi, nonostante 42 milioni di CIE rilasciate hanno solo raddoppiato gli accessi rispetto a quando serviva la tessera fisica.

Nella brochure si parla sia di circuito integrato per il montaggio su schede stampate che di microSD, con in futuro la possibilità del formato SIM; praticamente siccome il formato SIM contiene lo stesso chip delle smart card se il costo è abbastanza basso i chip delle future smart card tipo patenti e carte d’identità potranno essere sostituiti con questo chip sviluppato e prodotto da un’azienda italiana.

Riguardo l’utilizzo in server o PC non ho ben capito se questo chip potrebbe fare da una specie di TPM, forse solo una parte. Sarebbe bello se sviluppassero anche un prodotto che fa da TPM vero e proprio.

Tens of thousands of people across Europe already don’t own anything anymore because of recent calamities caused by climate change, yet people continue to bring in this stupid phrase trying to say that the solution will be worse than what we are already going through because of the many mistakes we made in managing resources, of which food production is one.

Survivor bias, we don’t know about all the towers that did in fact lean to far and fell over the centuries.

Yes, bank accounts are still (only) bank accounts, which they have been for centuries with only cash (coins or banknotes) and paper-based accounting. Isn’t this the point? If the digital euro is to be a digital analogue for cash, surely one would expect it to play the same role as cash, which isn’t the form to store your entire wealth and belonging, but to serve as an easily tradeable and transportable form of money. The ECB doesn’t want to provide and manage bank accounts, or rather no central bank does as it’s simply not what banking has always been, it’s always been a private endeavour.

I think the digital convenience of “anonymous” payments is real, and also that the ECB wanting to implement the digital euro as an online e-commerce compatible system from the beginning, directly challenging various different payment circuits with a single universal one, is also a significant development.

At the moment the idea that I have understood reading the various documents and interviews is that the digital euro wallets will not be a sort of bank account managed by the ECB, but they will be managed by the private banks (with similar guarantees for banking inclusion as existing bank accounts) and will be interoperable in order to use the common ECB-backed digital euro.

Therefore you still have the banks managing the infrastructure; also to convince the banks to adhere and not to completely destroy the existing electronic payment circuits there is a proposal to have a limit on the maximum transaction amount.

I would also like to add that another horrible treatment of young men and women involved in the Japanese idol market (I would call it a meat market even) is the immense social pressure from the talent companies, which has been ruled illegal and unconstitutional, to keep romantic relationships secret, to always appear “available” to the fans. Despite the rulings there are still idols who get caught up in “scandals” from time to time and are more or less forced to issue massive apologies or leave their agency.

Ecuador is in a very vulnerable and dangerous situation at the moment, with three high profile political homicides in just the past few weeks and an ever increasing influence of drug cartels that are escalating violence, control and homicides to huge levels.
